Joy Behar Gets Show on Al Gore's Current TV
Al Gore's Current TV is quickly becoming the place where liberal commentators that fail go where they truly belong - somewhere virtually no one will ever see them.
In a press release published by TVNewser, it was revealed the next addition to Gore's deliciously irrelevant network is Joy Behar who just in November was canned by HLN for horrid ratings:
Beginning this September, Joy Behar, Emmy® award winning talk show host, will make her return to primetime on Current TV’s new hour-long series. “The Joy Behar Show” (working title) will air nightly Monday through Thursday at 6pm and will repeat later the same evening in primetime. The timely and topical series will showcase Behar’s trademark sense of humor and unique brand of conversation and provide her with a platform to discuss the latest headlines, pop culture events and anything else that comes to mind.
Featuring a regular rotating ensemble of journalists, analysts and political satirists the program will focus on political events, social issues and relevant topics that impact the American zeitgeist. Her ensemble cast, title and premiere date will be announced later this summer.
So Behar will join fellow CNN rejects Bill Press and Eliot Spitzer who also appear to be working their way down the ladder of television punditry success.
And now for a word from the Nobel Peace Prize-winner himself:
“Joy Behar is a beloved veteran television personality with her finger on the pulse of what viewers care about,” commented Current TV Chairman and former Vice President Al Gore. “Millions of Americans tune in daily to hear her take on the issues along with her inimitable style."
Actually millions of Americans didn't tune in to her daily when she was on HLN. That's why she got fired.
Of course, he's a liberal. What's he know about business - or virtually anything for that matter?
That all said, we at NewsBusters are thrilled to see Behar back in primetime.
She always made for great laughs - when she wasn't trying to be funny, that is.

Just the other day I remarked on how I had missed laughing at the periodic brain farts of Joy Behar. Most media lefties are experts in putting an intellectual sounding package around intellectually bankrupt or ignorant ideas, but not Behar! Behar wraps a dumb idea in an extra layer of dumb and completes the look with her blank eyes and big red hair. Anyone else remember the clip of Behar bemoaning the racism of the term "Black Friday"? It was Behar at her best! That comment was so dumb that even Whoopie Goldburger noticed.
I love this part of the article: “The Joy Behar Show” (working title)..." I bet it took her a month just to noodle out that name for her show! Let's imagine what happened:
Behar: "Let's see, my name is Joy Behar and I'm getting a talk show, but what should I call it?"
Current TV Lawyer: "Um... are you serious?"
Behar: "Haha! Of course! I will call it The Dr. Phil Show!"
Lawyer: "Uh... I think that name is already taken."
Behar: "Oh... OK. How about The View?"
Lawyer: "Uh... I think that one is already taken too... You are already on that show. In fact you just arrived from a taping a half hour ago and gave me this coffee mug with The View printed on it."
Behar: "Oh OK, I guess that's why it sounded so familiar"
One month later
Behar: "... OK, but there isn't a show called Star Trek The Next, Next Generation, right? I can take that one right?"
Lawyer: :Oh for crying out loud! Just call it The Joy Behar Show!"
Behar: "OK, but didn't HLN have a show named that?"
Dumb liberals with dumb TV shows! You've just gotta love it!

Emmy winning?
Submitted by Model850 on Mon, 06/11/2012 - 3:51pm.
Just proves the Emmy is another worthless piece of tin handed out to anyone.
And the description of the show is laughable.
The timely and topical series will showcase Behar’s trademark sense of humor and unique brand of conversation and provide her with a platform to discuss the latest headlines, pop culture events and anything else that comes to mind.
That should read:
The pointless exercise in futility will showcase Behar’s trademark stupidity and provide her with a platform to spew her usual hateful bile about anyone who disagrees with liberal ideology.

I shut off my dish early this year, so I am no longer subjected to the inanities of programming pitched to the lowest common (and I DO mean common) denominator. Algore (not to be confused with Eeyore, though both have an annoying bray) figured that if he couldn't make millions by running the Chicago Carbon Exchange, he can do it by having his own TV network. What Algore (not Eeyore) doesn't seem to realize that in order to make money, he must be able to charge advertisers for airtime in which they can broadcast encouragement to viewers to buy mostly-worthless stuff or watch idiotic TV programming, like that on Current TV. Hard to make money from ad revenues when ad rates are based on viewership, and you have no viewers.
Perhaps if you presented shows and "celebrities" which actually made scientific sense, Fatboy, you might be able to charge some money for your airtime. Hard to justify high ad rates when you have fourteen viewers total during primetime. Perhaps if you used news analysts who aren't brain-damaged from excessive exposure to Harvard/Yale/Princeton attitudes, like Keef Overdosed. Now THERE was a brilliant strategy! Hire a "news analyst" who'd been fired by ESPN, and PMSLSD, and sign a five-year, $50M contract. Then let him go in less than six months. The lawyers are going to LOVE this one.
As my favorite judge of character (that would be Bugs Bunny) would say, "What a bunch'a morooooooons!"

Are we certain that Current TV isn't actually owned by conservative interests? Because they're doing a great job of getting liberal talkers out of the mainstream and sticking them on an island where they can do very little damage.
