10. It should've been Stephanie Miller to start with

Nov 20

When Imus got canned they had one week trials with several hosts. when I saw Stephanie I was a fan. Smart informed funny and attractive- I know that sounds superficial but hey it’s TV. I thought it was a no brainer. Nope can’t have that. Telegenic liberal that could send people out on their day with an informed different perspective. They pulled Joe from his nowhere Saturday afternoon show. Already under contract I guess.

I liked the format with basically newspaper guys (mostly) sitting around with newspapers everywhere.
