Will Guy Adami Even Get A Chance To Say Good-Bye?!

By

Picture 1002.pngAttention all D-Rat fans. If you thought you’d get once last chance to watch the Fast Money ringmaster at work before he sails off into the sunset of–finger crossed– late night television, think again!

In what was a mutual decision, [CNBC's Brian] Steel tells TVNewser, “Dylan has told us he is leaving effective today….Due to the serious economic times in which we live, we made a decision that it would be a distraction for Dylan to host ‘Fast Money’ today.”
Melissa Lee is expected to fill in on “Fast Money” for the time being.

      Seriously? Melissa Lee? Hot, seems pretty sharp, but I feel like she’s gonna be a bit outmatched, no?

      15 to 1 odds that Ratigan is a guest on The Daily Show next week.
      Just twist that knife a little bit deeper . . . and get the salt ready.

      Ratigan didn’t really know a whole lot about finance, IMO. He just never really fit in CNBC, in the first place. I wish him the best, though. He’s a compelling host.

      Guest breaks it (after AP, that is)! Dylan going to ABC news. Eat your heart out, Bess. Or share one of your cupcakes :)
      CNBC’s Dylan Ratigan leaving `Fast Money’By: The Associated Press | 27 Mar 2009 | 05:14 PM ET Text Size NEW YORK – CNBC says its “Fast Money” host Dylan Ratigan has quit the financial news network.
      Under Ratigan, the quick-paced late afternoon program served as a post-game show for the day’s Wall Street trading.
      His contract is expiring and he’s considered a strong candidate for a new job at ABC News. ABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider wouldn’t address those reports but said that ABC thinks the world of Dylan Ratigan.

      @15,
      Did you notice how ABC didn’t say “no comment” but “he’s a strong candidate”?
      Or any word of Ratigan leaving CNBC 24 hours ago?

      @16- please. you need to get over having read an article (which doesn’t even say anything definitively) and thinking you’re breaking news.
      go back to shining Ratigan’s nob.

      @17,
      I was just checking CNBC’s site and saw the article and thought I’d pass it along.
      What set you off? The strong candidate reference, you unemployed loser?
      Why don’t you go to 7-11 and grab a a pack of expired hot dogs for dinner . .. again. Maybe you can find a guy to blow for that bud light while you’re at it.

      Fast Money’s main value was never the financial “information” that it provided (Doesn’t charting sometimes make an appearance?). It was a way for average Joe viewers to feel like BSD’s by watching meat heads playing to popular stereotypes of Wall Street.

      Perhaps his appeal lies in the fact that he seems to be able to get his guest to slip up and say things they hadn’t planned to say. That is always interesting.

      @ 33
      You are right. Asian girls don’t belong on the street because they are too smart for it.
      Isn’t it funny when an asshole feels insecure and threatened by foreign women’s presence especially the intelligent ones?
      Hey,get out of your cave and go to school!There are no more dinasours.

      Not 33 either, But i want to know what racist donkeys have to do with Native Americans?
      i’m guessing 35 and 36 are related, and possibly sleeping together

      @34 might make sense. Erin Burnett supposedly was infatuated with Liz Claman or so says a buddy of mine who worked at CNBC-u-later, but then again, do ya blame her? Liz=HOT

      Dont know about you guys but Ratigan was one of my favourite hosts. He was a straight shooter and seems reliable. Unlike Donnie Douche and Jim Lamer.
      This network is going down the tubes credibility wise. lets go to fox business channel and ABC now.
