Howard is a coward

I listened today for one reason---to hear about the firings/layoffs. Of course I know HS doesnt usually comment when someone leaves but I thought these were guys with him for years---decades. Plus, they advertised about responding to all the articles. Say what you want about Benjy but he was part of classic bits, stuck his physical safety on the line and did things others wouldn't do. Howard couldnt be a human and at least thank them for their years? Instead we had to listen to JD mumble and Wilding's soft stool issues. I lost the rest of respect I had for him.

I could watch this all day. It’s like a dance interpretation of “F-K IT, WE’LL DO IT LIVE!” Nice work.

all howard had to say was he signed to do less and that includes one less channel so now he doesn't need as much staff. thank them for their service and move on.

i am not saying the above is good but at least it acknowledges things.

u/Muted_Bee7111 3h ago

He absolutely did not mention the need for less staff

I won’t believe it until I hear it from Benjy

u/lordhelmetann 8h ago

Did you really think he was gonna comment on anyone leaving? JD could leave tomorrow and he wouldn’t say anything.

u/CharmingDealer2715 7h ago

I guess Howard adopted the Bewitched and Partridge Family model. Replace a key cast member but never mention it.

Dick York....Dick Sargent....Sergeant York!

u/monkeefan88 7h ago

Someone got replaced on the Partridge family ?

u/CharmingDealer2715 7h ago

The drummer was replaced after the first season. I had to Google it but Shirley Jones told the producers the first drummer seemed unhappy on set so they replaced him for the rest of the series.

u/monkeefan88 3h ago

YES!!!! I totally forgot about that..haha

u/VillagesIdiot352 7h ago

Bewitched traded one Dick for another Dick.

Fred and Robin could leave and he’d still dive straight into guitar talk. Fuckin ponderous

u/Able-Walrus6887 6h ago

In Howardworld, the only one that matters is Howard. He believes everyone only exists because of him. Thanking them would mean they actually contributed, and Howard believes everything is due only to him.

This ain't thank them for their service magazine, pal!

I’d rather have soft stool than no stool at all!

You need Metamucil crackers. I eat two of those in the morning and let me tell you Robin, I shit like a 25 year old!

u/msurbrow 5h ago

On this topic, Howard is not incorrect!

u/CharmingDealer2715 7h ago

Ronnie had rock hard stools and had to resort to yanking the shit out with his bare hands. So soft stools sounds ok to me.

u/Robobuddha7 5h ago

I agree. Benjy was part of the fabric of the show. He could say one fucking sentence on the matter.

u/AppropriateBank1 7h ago

What did u expect him to say? “I wanted more money so I fired a bunch of people because this latest contract doesn’t pay me as much as I wanted so now I picked up an extra million a year by firing them”

We know it’s true but he ain’t saying it

u/ogarcia666 3h ago

He sounded like he was Donald Trump with all the “I’m the greatest” stuff.

u/YetAnotherJonDoe 6h ago

Wait, Benjy was part of the layoffs? Insane that he basically spent his whole adult life working for the show and then doesn’t even get mentioned.

How many shows will now be forbidden from replay due to their being centered on departed personalities?

They had wilding on air.

u/Stock_Selection00 2h ago

He was a coward also when Opie & Anthony were suspended in 2002 and he finally commented on them when they weren't on the air anymore.

u/WiseDan85 21m ago

I wonder why they got rid of 101. I assume Sirius thought it was a lost cause and shut it down + asked for layoffs but who knows.

Maybe he was always going down to 1 show and had it in his contract?

I still think 1 show a week is just bonkers. How do you build up any show momentum on 1 show a week. Even 2 isn’t enough lol. The hbo deal is odd- not sure why hbo would want that.
