CNBC

As previously mentioned, I did a little interview with CNBC’s Trish Regan. We discussed, among other things, her time at DE Shaw and whether or not Charlie Gasparino and Dennis Kneale are necrophiliacs. Continue reading »

Two words: “More Macke.” Continue reading »

Last Friday, in response to Joe Kernen referring to Fox Business as a bunch of “wing-nuts” Charlie Gasparino recounted, on-air, the great times he used to have scaring JK in the CNBC locker room, by walking around in a towel and hinting at what could potentially be in store for his colleague. Today, for some reason, CG brought said towel on his afternoon hit, during which he cautioned his co-host to be careful, as the thing was “moist.” Stay tuned tomorrow, when viewers get a glimpse of Chaz’s favorite tube sock (the one he used to use while fantasizing about Sophia Loren and his mother’s meat sauce).

If you haven’t been keeping up with your financial talking head drama, you (like me) might’ve missed the fact that yesterday on CNBC, Joe Kernen referred to Fox Business as a bunch of “wing-nuts.” Fox did not like this! And you know who at Fox really didn’t like it? Charles Gasparino. How dare Kernen refer to Chaz’s new employer as such. “Fuck that guy Joe,” Gaspo said to the girl doing his make-up as he worked himself into a frenzy over the offense. “Who does he is, thinking he can condesend to my people,” Gaspo asked her before shouting “I said easy on the blusher, easy!”  There was only one way to let Kernen know CG would not be taking this offense sitting down– by taking to the airwaves and telling everyone about how he used to inspire prison rape fantasies in JK. (FYI, this is not the first time Chaz has mentioned himself/Kernen and soap dropping on live TV. To wit, two years ago CG commented breathlessly: “Joe is a little intimidated by me. Every time Joe sees me in the CNBC locker room, half naked with a towel around my waist and my tattoo showing he gets a flash back from a prison movie. Joe’s workout is 2.7 miles every other day on the treadmill.”) Continue reading »

CNBC Announces New Tagline


In fact, if you must know? Welch thinks Obama’s done a “horrible” job with this thing. Too many “photo-ops,” not enough “solutions.” If Welch were dealing with this, he says he’d set up the “five best people in exploration and production” in an office space across the street from the White House. He’d visit them “between 5 and 6 every night” to check their progress, and he wouldn’t let them come out until they’d figured out how to fix this thing. Unfortunately Welch has his hands tied getting his online business school off the ground, and doesn’t have the time to deal with himself.

As you may or may not have heard, Melissa Francis is due back on The Call this coming Monday, following a short maternity leave. Apparently this has the potential to create a somewhat awkward situation off set, as Amanda Drury has been filling in for Francis since the beginning of May, and the viewers likey. Unfortunately there are only three slots available, currently occupied by Drury, Larry Kudlow, and Trish Regan. The plan is to bump Mandy, though to where no one knows. Continue reading »
