Good riddance to the twit. And I'm VERY excited for Thomas Roberts.
He's vain, he's shallow, he's narcissistic, he's smart-but-not-as-smart-as-he-thinks-he-is, and he's impossibly handsome with an even-more-impossibly-handsome husband...but I can't help loving him anyway.

Posted: 2/19/15 at 8:01pmWow, I thought they pulled the plug on him months ago.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 2/19/15 at 8:11pmRonan was sodomized by Frank Sinatra's pool cue. So give him a break with his truth.

I like Roberts. And we have the same Birthday. (Different years, but still.)

But there's also sad news. MSNBC also cancelled Joy Reid's show.

PJ, I thought you were describing Ronan, until you got to the impossibly handsome bit...
I was surprised to hear this was still on. Wow. He just has a VERY creepy and detached camera persona which would probably be wrong for any tv show, but was especially wrong for the sorta "fun and news with ME" type show they built around him. I love when someone here described him as seeming like a Supermarionation (Thunderbirds,) figure.

MSNBC has record low numbers in the daytime. These shows have a similar pattern and format, an hour of recycled re-framed news stories by progressive talking heads preaching to the choir. I'm happy to be in the choir, but I wouldn't sit and watch it. After a while, it's all sort of insider-y and smug, everyone reassuring everyone else that Christie is a blowhard, Palin an idiot, the GOP self-serving and feckless. To sit before hour upon hour of this, with only a few in-depth pieces added (I'll give Farrow that; he tried to be investigative) one would have to be in dire search of liberal validation. MSNBC might be a go-to place 24/7 during the high of the election cycle, or after a national tragedy. But most liberals who are home during the day don't sit blowing spit bubbles in front of the TV. I often wonder who the target demo is. If for someone like Farrow it's pitched to young progressives, they are hard at work trying to make enough to pay their bills. Or playing video games and plotting a way to get out of mom and dad's basement. College kids? Really? Mention MSNBC to any five college students. The idea that a young face will draw younger viewers is lunacy.

PJ all the things you listed about Roberts are true. But that's why I can't stand watching him for more than 2 seconds. He's the worst.
Not so sad about Farrow but they also cancelled Joy Reid who I thought was one of the best personalities on the network.
Roberts should stick to what he's good at. Hosting beauty pageants.

Posted: 2/22/15 at 11:09amMy friend was at a book chat thing with Alan Cumming late last year that Thomas Roberts hosted. She said that Roberts was really just embarrassing all-around, with bad questions, overly sexual and not funny jokes, and everyone, including Cumming, looked embarrassed for him.
