I saw the announcement live. Haven't there been "Matt Lauer's an asshole, he's gonna go" stories floating for at least a year?

Any underemployed journos want to go double-agent on these d-bags?

This is a great (and hilarious) idea in theory but it's tough for me to imagine it accomplishing much that the WaPo story didn't

according to wiki, lauer's salary was 28 million a year! that's a lot of money.

yeah, he's the Albert Pujols of morning-TV drones

Tom Cruise cackles over morning coffee, alone, in front of a foggy window in Martha's Vineyard

Surprised Lauer lasted so long. Perpetual tabloid hag. Another few I wouldn’t be surprised by at all: Chris Matthews, Lawrence O’Donnell, Don Lemon

i remember everyone thought he was a creep about the Ann Curry thing, and she left under a weird inexplicable cloud bc of him.

it's funny that lauer was the fresh air after the toxic cloud of gumbel. now who is smelly? and real sports is kinda awesome!

lauer thought she was an idiot and forced her out as a condition of extending his contract, allegedly.

Wait, what toxic cloud of Gumbel?

Chris Matthews

this dude def has the air of a misogynistic lech

"Wait, what toxic cloud of Gumbel?"

what, you don't remember the infamous memo backlash?

i just remember him taking his eyeglasses off and furrowing his brow exasperatedly

Gumbel the only one of that crew who may have had a brain. Jeez, is there anything more ignominious than being a morning show host? Who remembers Jane Pauley and Joan Lunden?

all that money curdles t.v. people. remember america's sweetheart katy couric? doing life for double murder.

t.v. newspeople pretty backstabby in general. plus, they have to smile too much. they lose it.

they have wake up at like 2am

BREAKING: Garrison Keillor says he's been fired by Minnesota Public Radio over allegations of inappropriate behavior.

— The Associated Press (@AP) November 29, 2017

what the--!

ha – I said a couple weeks ago to a friend that Keillor looked like a dirty old man

what, you don't remember the infamous memo backlash?

I didn't, so I read up on it. Now I can't get the word "uppity" out of my head.

garrison keillor still worked anywhere?

it's just an embarrassment of shadenfreude!

I thought he was retired? Guess he is now!

Minnesota nice

Mmm yes

this is just keillor trying to stay relevant

Harass'n Feillor

And he wrote a piece supporting Franken yesterday!

eh he always sucked anyway. Guess I'm too Cuban to get those jokes.

Garrison Keillor is proof no one called a "humorist" has ever said anything funny ever.

A+ mick

Dude was insufferable. Never even remotely understood his appeal.

another one like Rose & Halperin that surprised me at first but upon some consideration makes sense

this is uh one way to handle things

Keillor said he was fired over a story that "is more interesting and more complicated than the version MPR heard” https://t.co/KNCedHGAB6

— The New York Times (@nytimes) November 29, 2017

that picture 😳

boy if there's anyone who i don't want to tell the more interesting and complicated side of a story than garrison keillor...

he always gave me tall brian peppers vibes

pack your bags or bite down on the cyanide pill, lecherous celebrities

schadenfreude sure, but I have to say i get a mild sort of satisfaction thinking about all of the other handsy predatory dudes who thought their fame was protection enough, who are now seeing the writing on the wall & are forced to think “was I inappropriate?” or “are they going to come for me?” or “is my ride over?” etc etc

even just that they are now perhaps experiencing some panic & self doubt for the first time

i groaned in pain when i read the part in a news story about how he is working on a lake wobegon book AND a memoir of his childhood. they shoot horses, don't they?

his whole life is a memoir to his childhood and then you read profiles about how he is a shut-in who never talks to anyone and man oh man i don't even know what to think about him. he's kind of a good sherwood anderson character, i guess. or a melville character. The Tiresome Guest.

yoooo

there is a heavy nostalgia thread with some of the folks mentioned on this thread. the desire to relive childhood memories. woody. cosby. louis. woebegon dude. they remind me of each other. in a jean shepherd kinda way. i can only hope that jean shepherd kept his hands to himself.
