Just when I thought David Gregory was getting his sea legs …
If you happened to tune in to MSNBC at 6 this morning, you’re probably just one of the viewers wondering what’s going on.
Morning drive-time talk show host Michael Smerconish – “The Big Talker 12-10” – is being simulcast from WPHT-AM in Philadelphia.
Smerconish mentioned he’ll be on today through Wednesday, so I’m not sure if this is a trial run or the real thing.
Among the guests were comedian Jackie Mason, fellow Philadelphian Chris Matthews, Rudy Guiliani, Camille Paglia, former National Security Adviser Richard Clarke, Arlen Specter, “Yes” lead singer Jon Anderson (performing with students of a “school of rock”) and the replay of a ranting hellfire-and-brimstone preacher who got his mike cut.
Won’t be long before all these folks will be wanting “The Big Talker” to boost their issues, books or music!
Since I listen to TV, I’ve gotten pretty good at recognizing voices, and this Philadelphia lawyer sounds a lot like Rush Limbaugh to me. Just what this country needs, another right-winger with a microphone.
Good classic rock, though. As a Viking Kitty fan, I loved Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song.”
Don’t want to be too hard on Smerconish, but after the premiere of the broadcast/telecast, I will comment that he’s about as interesting as a test pattern.
You younger guys do know what a test pattern is, right?
