As a tribute to Dennis, let’s all share our favorite moments over the last few years. I’ll start. Continue reading »
Dennis Kneale
Earlier this morning it was reported that CNBC’s Dennis Kneale, he of digital dickweed fame, would be parting ways with the network after his current contract expires in the next few weeks (apparently CNBC is unwilling to increase is current salary of around $500,000/year). I don’t know if it’s because a building manager got wind of the rumors and started cleaning out his office while he was still in it or what but Kneale felt the need a short while ago to make one thing clear.

I don’t want anyone to get too upset but yes, Dennis Kneale is off of Power Lunch. And while he’ll remain employed by the network, as a reporter covering media and tech, and seems to be in okay spirits (Kneale told us, “I had a ball co-anchoring Power Lunch, and I’m excited about my new gig. I’ve followed tech and media for many years. They may be the only two industries we have left that still dominate the world.”) he will have a little extra free time to devote to other pursuits. Having no idea what his hobbies are but maybe, I don’t know, having felt like you got to know him these last few years, anyone want to throw some suggestions out there?
“In all my years of living in New York I’ve never whipped out my phone to take a picture of any celeb (CNBC or otherwise), but there was something about Kneale– couldn’t look away.”
Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show: Dennis Kneale’s Favorite Holiday Just Around The Corner
By Bess Levin
It’s that time of year again! The Victoria’s Secret Fashion show is this Thursday which means we’re likely in for a week of hearing about Dennis Kneale talking about lingerie. Last year around this time we learned that while some men are uncomfortable with the idea of entering a Secret store, Dennis Kneale loves nothing more than picking out some special pieces of what he’s affectionately dubbed “slut wear” for his “female partners.” Today it was that Dennis wears women’s underwear, though he wouldn’t say which brand, only that it’s not VS.* What other images could we be in store for leading up to the big show? Stay tuned!
*Methinks it may be this line, which probably gave out some items on the house for the free advertising.
Many of you were outraged at the comment made by Bearpont Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon to Charlie Rose that the SEC should investigate the “smoke” surrounding the fall of Bear Stearns, because the mixture of gases and suspended carbon particles supposedly suggests that not only was Jimmy Cayne getting high at the office, but that there may have been a “deliberate and malicious destruction of value” caused by the creation and spreading of a rumor about BSC being in trouble. And, if there’s conclusive evidence of guilt, that those parties should go to prison, and not pansy-ass white collar resort prison for a two month stay but federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison for a very long time. We’re pretty sure Dimon was referring to the so-called evil shorts who a lot of people would like to believe were behind Bear’s demise and not CNBC, but nonetheless would be remiss not to bring this call to put network contributor Dennis Kneale behind bars to your attention. Oh, and here’s a vintage clip of the perp fighting with Charlie Gasparino over whether or not he uses hookers. Just ’cause we love you.
