Wow. Some wise words. I wonder if there was a reason Bobo couldn't call in for 3 months and they just turned it into a bit that he was banned. Either way, pretty stupid.
They set Bobo up. Someone from the staff called him and told him he'd get money if he mentioned a certain show on the air 5 times. They knew he was having money problems. Bobo did it and they banned him.
This is a clear example of why Howard has to go to the shrink 3 days a week. Yesterday he said the listeners were begging him to keep Bobo off the air. He was voted worst caller ever and nobody looks forward to his calls. Yet Howard picks up on him every week. Why? A few years ago Bobo went through a period where almost every call was about "The Beautiful Beth O appearing on a red carpet," or how awesome Howard TV is. Robin questioned why Howard was picking up on him so much. Howard broke the 4th wall and admitted Bobo knows how to kiss his ass. When he sees that he is on hold he will pick him up because he knows Bobo will have some kiss ass comment to make. It is pretty sad that 99% of the audience hates a caller yet Howard tortures them because he has low self esteem and needs to be praised by some sycophant, psychotic, non-entertaining, stalker caller.
No doubt. Although, at the same time, Wiggy has pretty much banned himself from making any live show appearances the past five or six summers, so maybe he's not that much of a hypocrite in this regard after all.
