IF Howard thought his show was still funny then why is he having a huge step up in meeting to make the show funnier?

This poll/thread is a brilliant idea- it taps into Howard's diabolical nature.

I voted Yes, although I KNOW deep down he is douche-painfully aware that the show sucks- he just wants to blame it on others.

I wish more people would vote bcs this one is a real brain-teaser. Just good to know that Malone has this cunt scared.

No. In fact, I think he's made it deliberately UNfunny, to show Sirius who's boss. He'll put on a show because he has to, but it's a harriable show. He'll show them. But in the meantime, he showed us too. He expected undying loyalty from fans. We stuck with him till he was slapping us in the face with his non-show while taking our money still. He never thought his fans would bail.

I think he thinks he is still knocking it outta the park, but also agree that he is exuding effort right now as a ruse for Malone.

So, I voted lobasco.

"This is the fake story, Mike."

I totally agree. The lame bits, recurring guests and lack of energy have been a passive aggresive F you to Sirius and it has come back to bite him in the ass with the new Management. Additionally, the poor AGT viewing I think was an eye opener for him that he doesn't have the loyalty, from his fans, that he once had.

I believe the big meetings have more to do with the phasing out of Robin and what new roles that will mean for the current staff rather than trying to revitalize the show and bringing back the humor. He knows something has to be done. I am just not sure he is willing to put in the effort or expense to do it. Bringing in some new blood might help, but I think he may have the fear of being overshadowed- his ego will not allow that.

The end result Does Howard think the show is funny- NO (but he is currently trying to put a band-aid on a broken leg).
