I can't seem to find out. I'm talking about his current show.

1. I think he's taking a 2 week hiatus

I read that they'll going to change the format. I think they're giving him a studio audience.

Of course, he claimed that the break was pre-scheduled. I'm not sure there's anything they can do to save that show. The ratings I've seen were around 0.2

On edit- An article from the NY Post. Take it for what it's worth.

3. The 7 people that have been watching
will have to find something else to do. I caught a few seconds one night, and David Horowitz was on, complaining about how people like him never get to be on TV. THat's guy's on more than Sy Sperling.

4. the guy is toast

retooling, my ass...

His shit is so out of touch it just doesn't sell anymore... He and Bo Derek, Bruce Willis and the few other Hollywood fools who drank the Koolade.

Yeah - that pro-establishment stuff is really "hip"....

Scott Ritter literally crumpled his pathetic facade and threw him in the trash. I knew he was finished when he couldn't keep Ritter from destroying him on his own show.

5. I heard they can't have a show because his stuido audience is on vacation
I mean, really. Have you seen this?

They don't even have a laugh track. Its just like two guys occasionally inserting what sounds like a forced laugh to fill what would otherwise be an awkward silence. But that just makes it even more awkward...

8. He's headed for the pits............. infomercials.
Where the audience "oohs" and "ahhs" and applauds smilingly on queue.
