my god, what has happened to anderson coopers ratings?
and in other news, i wonder how the ever annoying joy behar will do tonite in her premier show on hln…
That many people really watched the G20 Summit?
I’ve read somewhere that Anderson Cooper is favored by Regis Philbin as his replacement upon retirement. So Cooper may have a way out of low rating. On the other hand, Olberman’s show had fewer viewers than Nancy Grace’s. God willing, Olberman won’t be back at doing sports…
We had no choice, the G 20 was on all cable news. If you notice, the only station with high #’s was Beck @ Fox. Beck had a special that was interrupted by Obama.
We all kept watching to see when Obama would end, so we could get back to Beck!
Beck Beat Obama? What exactly happend, for some reason my DVR didn’t record Beck friday.
in reply to apple:
wow…i hadn’t heard that, but i love anderson cooper on “live with regis and kelly” when he subs…i think that is a better fit for him as he can be more “himself” there than on 360…i doubt that cnn would let him go without a fight, though…mabey they would give him larry kings show when he (finally) retires.
Yeah, we watched Glenn Beck. When the mmm mmm mmm BHO came on, it was a good time to take a bathroom break.
In the chat room I waste my life away in we are making jokes about how Obama will hold the rest of his press confrences between 5pm and 6pm est (during Beck) for the next 3 years. Aren’t people sick of listening to this guy praise himself?
teamusa how dare you question our fearless leader. You must be a racist. If you don’t praise the Great Messiah Obama I will call you a racist again you better take it back. I’m going to call you a racist again don’t make me do it. More tapes out DRIP DRIP DRIP the worm keeps turning. Brainwash those little kids get them when their young. MARXIST=DEMOCRATS=TERRORIST All the same ask Woopi Goldberg who thinks childmolesters are just fine in Hollywood.
Fox shouldn’t have broadcast the Obama speech. He says the same stupid crap every time and takes forever to talk. Beck would have gotten at least 500,000 more ratings. It may not seem like much, but tell that to MSNBC.
