NBC moves AGT out of May sweeps

[Jon Hein is God]

Remember last year, AGT premiered on May 14 because they thought Howard could do well.

He sucks.

He sucks.

Howard's screwed again, the ratings for the premiere will likely be higher since it won't have any competition but Howard won't be able to brag about it because he'd have to dodge the question of why they were higher with Klum and Scary's premieres than his.

I predict the ratings will dip slightly from last year, even with the new timeslot - and they will get worse as the season goes on. I hope it gets as bad as it possibly can, and Howard is hung out to dry like the washed up phoney he is

They moved into May sweeps because of the Olympics. Howard spun it that it was because of him.

BTW, they decided that they would move it into May Sweeps because in 2008, the show got killed in September when they pushed it back into Fall premiere week. The problem is that they got crushed even worse last year.

Who are the retards that watch AGT?

Robin/Howard talks about how everybody with vinyl should be committed to mental hospital. In real life: all AGT watchers should be shipped to mental.

People always like to watch variety acts and mindless entertainment, especially during the summer.

Who are the retards who listen to the Howard Stern show?

That 2008 (Olympic) season had 20 episodes.

Last season had 32 episodes.

And a lot of those episodes were filler.

I mean, they could've lopped off 4 episodes and started AGT after Memorial Day.

This just made me laugh really hard for some reason. Very succinct.

My kids love it, and I got a kick out of the whackos. I was actually kinda looking forward to Howard being on, but for my money he completely ruined it.

Robin asked whatever happened to last yrs winner and runner up acts?

Howard said oh, they out touring all over the country. They're rakin' it in.

Now, would that be the same AGT tour that was just in the news for being cancelled?

Want to know the irony behind all this? Howard doesn't like looking like a fool, but all he succeeds at by trying harder is looking like a bigger fool.

when in a hole, Howard, stop digging. Retire now before you do more damage to your image. The only future you have is that of a homeless dude wasting his money on scratch tickets...
We only win if you stay in the game.

That "fool" will make more money in the next few weeks than the whole of The Saloon will make in a lifetime.
You're probably right that Stern cares about his image, but I think a few million will help soothe his angst over a few hundred guys on an internet message board "winning".
