Fired!

Filed under: TV News

wenn385872__opt.jpg

Pat O'Brien has finally reached his breaking point!

Yesterday, a rep for The Insider confirmed that O'Brien would be leaving the show.

The veteran TV host has been demonstrating too much "erratic" behavior lately.

Not to mention that it seems his two stints in rehab didn't really work.

No exact reason was given though as to why O'Brien was let go, but the inappropriate emails he was sending were likely the last straw!

A rep for the show did say in a statement, "Pat O'Brien is a talented broadcaster who has been a part of 'The Insider' family from the very beginning. Although we have decided to part ways, everyone at CBS Television Distribution and 'The Insider' greatly appreciate and respect all his contributions to our show. We wish Pat much success in his future endeavors."

Who will they get to replace him????

Bring back John Tesch! Or Steve Kmetko????

    Below are a few lines from Obama's books, IN HIS WORDS!
    From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.' / 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.' / 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.' / 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.' / 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'
    ************'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'**************
    Hmmmm….NO THANKS! McCain / Palin 2008! :-)

    P.O.B as Lara Spencer affectionately called him, is someone who you think you know till you really have a close look at him. When you look close, you can see the anger in him. From a distance he looks all smiles. Very Monet. Good Luck to Lara who seems very nice.



  19. 19

    HAHA!



  20. 20

    Another fucking mess that can't face getting older. AND WHITEN YOUR GOD DAMN TEETH!



  21. 21

    Don't worry Pat…time for your tell-all book where you fake, I mean take responsibility for your addictions but then make a buck off all the real inside stories.



  22. 22

    For those interested in truth, here is the FULL quote, versus the one edited to look like it says something totally different:

    "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."



  23. 23

    Let's just say, I would freak the fuck out if I were ever alone in an elevator with this creep. What a scumbag, too.



  24. 24

    wow, whats john tesh been doing??? thats who youre talking about isnt it?? Oh its too early for me… :lol:



  25. 25

    you need to post the answers to the blind items alot more!!!



  26. 26

    This is not really surprising news. This man has many addictions. Hope he doesnt get all suicidal on us now. If you're going through hell keep going. The only way out is through.

    Good luck Pat. Wish you a peaceful road ahead.

    Re: PerezIsRetarded – "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."-Fiction!
    This is a corruption of a quote from Obama's book The Audacity of Hope. It is from a section that talks about the concerns of immigrants who are American citizens.

    Here is the accurate and more complete quote: "Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

    Re: loose-stool – lol ya took the "words" right outta my mouth…



  30. 30

    Thank God…it is about time…so overdue!!!!
    Whatta douche



  31. 31

    Re: PerezIsRetarded – Yeah.. and.. what's the problem? You wish you had his integrity. All Muslims are not bad you douche! And I am not Muslim by the way.



  32. 32

    It's about time they canned that creep. The orange skin, the hairplugs, the heavy make-up and his constant ass-kissing of celebs/celebutards makes me sick. Unfortunately viewers are still left with super douche/ultra celeb ass-kisser Billy Bush. O'Brien will do some more rehab and get another gig where he gets to kiss celeb ass.



  33. 33

    Steve Kmetko, SWEET! YES! I would so watch it

  34. Sgirl says – reply to this

    This guy is a douche! Why the hell have they kept this weekend at bernies lookalike so long. He's a drug addict sleaze ball! Good riddance freakshow!



  35. 35

    Told you!



  36. 36

    A few years ago he sent out some sexually explicit emails harrasing some of his female co-workers……and then went into rehab. They should have fired his sexually harrasing butt back then…..



  37. 37

    I think Mark McGrath is available; and since the LA studio is in Studio City, an easy commute for him.



  38. 38

    You should replace Pat O'brien Perez!



  39. 39

    steve kmetko! hell yes! whatever happened to him? he was like the tim gunn of entertainment shows



  40. 40

    Guess he just went and got coke and hookers and went crazy a few too many times. He's lost it! He's so annoying - every time he went on the KQRS morning show in Minneapolis to supposedly give entertainment news, all he'd do was blather on about his lame rock band and himself!!



  41. 41

    I'm glad he is finally leaving. He is so boring. I don't understand why he was a host in the first place! Especially after those disgusting e-mails were made public! Ewwww!
