I don't even have words to describe how depressing this is, so I will just pass along what I've learned. FOX wants to give our friend Joe Buck a Late-Night Talk Show. Not only that, but they've already completed the pilot to pitch to FOX execs. According to sources close to the situation the idea recently came about when noodling on Jay Leno's retirement and Conan's move to the 11pm slot. There seems to be opportunity there to finally compete in the Late Night Arena for FOX's and their first and only choice was Buck.
Here's the info I could find on a Broadcasting and Cable......
Fox is considering a weekly, half-hour late-night show hosted by its lead sports personality. The network's entertainment division just quietly completed a pilot for the show in New York.Yes, that's right.....comedy folks. From what I gather this won't even be a Sports-based show, FOX is making Joe Buck into the next Leno right before our eyes. I can't believe I didn't see this coming sooner.
The format currently under consideration would include both interviews and comedy and be set in front of a small studio audience.
If this does come to fruition, and you watch this show......you are dead to me. We need to destroy this monster before it even rears its ugly, unfunny, and smug head.
On the brightside, maybe this will get him out of the booth for good.
Joe Buck and comedy go hand-in-hand if you ask me.
ReplyDeleteThey aren't going to stop until FOX's schedule is nothing but Joe Buck and Ryan Seacrest.
ReplyDeleteI think you might be looking at this backwards. Let's just say Buck gets his show, sells his soul to the devil, and it's a success.
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to watch his late night show AND we'll never have to listen to him do any more games.
I do believe there's a reason why comedians tend to do late night talk shows...
ReplyDeleteJack Buck is spinning in his grave at his son selling out.
ReplyDeleteThis is OT, but I thought I'd pass along today's gem from our favorite radio talking head, Shrutebag: "Somebody left his nuts on my desk, so I ate them."
Does that qualify for the Pammies?
just because it's on tv doesn't mean i have to watch it.
ReplyDeleteand i won't.

ReplyDeleteand i won't.
Maybe the show could just be 30 minutes of videos of athletes doing end zone celebrations and Buck being offended, disgusted and outraged by it.
ReplyDeleteQuit gaying up my computer.
ReplyDeleteAnd my days of watching FOX could be numbered...
ReplyDeleteIs Joe Buck following in the footsteps of Keith Olbermann? That's what Countdown is, a comedy talk show, right?
ReplyDeleteBTW: The pic of Buck has creepy porn star (circa 1966) feel...eck.
Hey, if it keeps Buck from ruining football and baseball broadcasts I'm all for it.
ReplyDeleteThough if they had a segment like Jay suggests, only with celeb idiots behaving badly, it could be gold.
*shot of Britney Spears in a drug-induced haze*
Joe Buck: WHAT A DISGUSTING DISPLAY!
*shot of Lindsey Lohan coked up*
Joe Buck: WHAT A DISGUSTING DISPLAY!
And so forth.

ReplyDeleteI wonder if he'll do the first 75% of the show and then have to have Curt Menafee come in and finish.
ReplyDelete"So Brad, what kind of creme rinse do you use for that shiny silky mane of yours. I'm so jealous of Angelina."
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, more Dierdorf farting, puking and burping, and less of Joe Buck, gay pornstar.
ReplyDeleteYou mean you don't consider this comedy?

Oh great, an hour each night of Joe Buck sucking penises on national television.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they can have Tim McCarver in the "Ed McMahon" role. Kissing Buck's butt, laughing at everything he says. Maybe McCarver can be like an Alan Kalter and have somebody beat him up or poor water on him-perfect. Maybe Deion makes a cameo and douses McCarver again and again and again! Haha! This has possibilities!
ReplyDeleteJoe Buck is awful, the guy is another douche bag republican Fox can blast on the TV because of their extreme right wing bullshit. Joe Buck is only where he is at because of his father, the guy is a weasil that used his daddy's name to get where he is today. Fuck Joe Buck I'm going to start a website JoeBuckSucks.com, Who's Joining ??

ReplyDeleteFuck all you, Joe Buck is good and there is no respect to anyone on the site. (Pam Ward does suck though)
ReplyDeleteI will be glad to see Joe Buck go. Please just go to late night!
ReplyDeleteGo hang out with Carson Daly!
I'm watching the 2008 world series game 3 and Joe Buck keeps insisting that Carl Crawford was out on an infield bunt single. None of the countless replay angles has come close to proving Crawford out but Buck keeps insisting it was an obvious mistake by the 1st base umpire. Unless Buck saw a replay we didn't see, there was no physical possibility that Howard could have tagged him in time after grabbing the ball with his bare hand. Buck, you're clearly biased. Fox, please spare us from having to watch the vastly inferior Buck-McCarver crew work the Series year after year. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFuck Tim and Joe. I mute the TV and listen to country music while I watch the game. How is it that two idiots can go so far in life? Who cares! Allen Jackson's on the radio now! Enjoy! Fuck TIMBUCK!!!!
ReplyDeleteJoe Buck is the biggest piece of shit I ever saw. He sucks at his job and should never be aloud to announce ever again. I'm with you on the joebucksucks.com sight and I hope he never comes back to Philly because he'll get tore up.
ReplyDeleteJoe Buck is a cock-chugging woman and shouldn't be on my TV. He should be bagging my groceries, retarded no penis fuck head.
ReplyDeleteClean my local bar's toilet Joe Buck. You talentless, no brain, can't call a game even if it was little league fudge packing looser.
