BREAKING:Stern fires Mandel from AGT

[Mike]

Lol Howard is just like Eric the midget actor

Howard: I just want to be an employee of the show, I don't want to be in charge of anything, I just want to show up, judge and leave. It's great not having control.

Thank you Dick

Howard: "I'm an honest company man. Why are these Siruis fuckers looking at me like I'm up to something!"
.....like suing them for 300 million marbles a few days later.

Mandel loved doing AGT.
Stern got both Howie and Sharon fired!!!!!!!

Whoa, whoa, whoa... stop the clock.

Sharon QUIT AGT about 6 months ago, after NBC fired her son, Jack, right after he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.... he was slated to do an action-reality type show, but his contract wasn't fully signed and done, so they "decided" to let him go, in light of his illness and what they perceived would be too much for him to handle.

She became PISSED and said way before AGT was even over, that she was done. And even explained why. She's livid with NBC.

Now, Howie, on the other hand, is a different story. Who knows wtf he's up to..??

As much of an a-hole we know Howard is, I really can't imagine he'd want to be the ONLY judge. NO one to argue with, or throw ideas off of.... what a dud THAT would be.

I love reading all the conspiracy theorys from you nitwits

U mad bro?!?!

[Nemo]

stay inside....I'm gonna blow your hat off if you take one foot out the door.

[Dead Air Dave]

It is simple.
-Year #7 was an unadulterated ratings failure. Stern not only chased people away...he chased the key demo away!
-Stern had a 2 year deal = FIRE everyone else and try to get 2 (or 3) new judges to save the show!

Yep. Just like everything else he gets involved in.

Fire sharon and howie and then when its brought up claim that he 'had nothing to do with it' and vaguely blame 'the execs at NBC'

Notice how during the offseason he drilled home the 'I have nothing to do with the decisions at AGT and I love it' line about once a week

Bullshit. He was just setting up plausible deniability so that when the hammer dropped he could look innocent.

He's done this move a thousand times.

[Nemo]

I can't wait to hear Howard blame America for not producing enough talented people for him to make famous when AGT is canceled.

60 percent of the 23 million Sirius/XM subscribers listen to my channels exclusively!

[Bye You!]

stay inside....I'm gonna blow your hat off if you take one foot out the door.

Damn you, NEMO!!!!!

Sharon Osbourne is quitting 'AGT' after NBC axes Jack

EXCLUSIVE

Sharon Osbourne is quitting "America’s Got Talent" after a nasty dispute with NBC involving her son, she told The Post.
The long-time TV judge, 59, is fuming over how the network’s new reality TV series "Stars Earn Stripes" cut ties with son Jack, 26, after he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Producers of the "Stars Earn Stripes" show — which will pit celebrities against one another in military training exercises -- fired Jack by e-mail two days before he was to report to work, then lied about it to the press, Osbourne claimed.

‘HEALTH RISK’: Sharon Osbourne says NBC sent her an e-mail telling her it had booted son Jack from an upcoming show because of his multiple sclerosis.


"I just can’t be fake," she said. "It’s discrimination, and it was badly handled."
After a series of heated exchanges with NBC brass over the issue, Osbourne said, she has decided not to return next season to top-rated "AGT."
"It’s time to move on," she said.
While Osbourne remains under contract, "They can’t make me do something I don’t want to do," she insisted. "All they can do is stop me from being a judge on another network for five years."
Osbourne said ‘AGT’ producer Simon Cowell had tried to make peace between the network and his longtime friend but that she's not budging.
Things first turned ugly in June when Jack appeared on his mother’s daytime series "The Talk," claiming he was fired from the military-style competition because of his newly disclosed condition.
But at a "Stars and Stripes" press conference in LA last month, producer David Hurwitz heaped fuel on the fire, insisting that Jack was never hired to begin with.
"He was somebody we were in talks with," Hurwitz said.
Both Osbournes admit his 50-page contract was never formally signed.
But they contend that all parties were moving forward on a good-faith, verbal commitment, which is commonplace in the industry.
"I was working without a signed contract right up until the live shows started on ‘America’s Got Talent,’" Osbourne noted. "Everything is done at the last minute. We took six months to negotiate back and forth."
Jack was first contacted by NBC in April.
After coming to what he considered a binding agreement to participate, he received an e-mail May 18 from Chuck LaBella, the network’s vice president of Talent Relations.
"We are looking forward to working with you," it said. "I am happy you are going to be in the NBC family."
A month later, Jack went public with his condition.
Sharon Osbourne provided The Post with an e-mail she said she got from NBC soon after, just two days before Jack was due to report to work in June.
"Regretfully, we cannot move forward with Jack’s participation," it said.
An NBC rep acknowledged that serious discussion had been taking place for many weeks and that all parties were hopeful he would join the show. A phone message was left in early June, but in the interest of time, it was necessary to follow up by e-mail, the rep said.
"An NBC executive did initially leave a message for Ms. Osbourne," the rep said. "However, when we received no return call we sent an email in the interest of time. Further Ms. Osbourne was offered the opportunity to discuss the situation with another NBC programming executive but declined."
According to producer Hurwitz, "The rigors of the show were too intense for him."
Jack -- who successfully completed a 30 mile, 16 hour endurance race in January -- said he offered to purchase his own insurance policy but that producers declined.
Osbourne claimed that an NBC executive offered to pay Jack his full appearance fee to smooth things over but that she refused.
"He didn’t want the money," Osbourne said. "He wanted his gig. It gave him something to look forward to when he was diagnosed.
“Think of the good that it could have done to show other people who have this [condition] that your life is not over.”
A network rep said: “Sharon has been a valuable part of the NBC family. We regret any misunderstanding and wish Jack well.”

[Bye You!]

-Stern had a 2 year deal = FIRE everyone else and try to get 2 (or 3) new judges to save the show!

So now we agree?



This is a far cry from the idea that Howard picked up the NBC Batphone and said "I want them gone", and "poof!", they were.

NBC isn't doing Howard's bidding; they're simply trying to recover from the disaster of hiring him by saving shekels elsewhere.

[Nemo]

Lol Howard is just like Eric the midget actor

ETM kills TV shows?
Does stern not understand that is a knock on him...proving how puny his radio audience is these days that he plugs ETM roles on TV shows and they still do poorly in the ratings?

[jon1972us]

U mad bro?!?!

Not at all. I just call them as I see them.

[Slappy]
