First thing you see on TV, that is, as ARS is replacing Carl Quintanilla on Squawk Box. Apparently the CNBC team searched high and low for the right person to recreate the raw chemistry between the long-running threesome of Joe, Becky and Carl and concluded Sorkin’s the man for the job.

Joe Kernen Wants To Save Your Children From Brainwashing By Liberals Who Hate Capitalism And Are Poisoning Their Minds

He’s so serious about the issue he wrote a book about it, which you unfortunately can’t buy until May 12th. By then, it might be too late.
CNBC Anchor Gets Choked Up At The Notion Of Billionaire Leon Cooperman Keeping The Government’s Hands Off His Money
By Bess Levin
Billionaire hedge fund manager Leon Cooperman was on Squawk Box this morning discussing a whole mess of issues, including a recent pledge to give away nearly all his money to charity. Cooperman has signed on to the Buffett/Gates initiative to donate half his wealth but today he told CNBC, “Every dollar I make, I’ll give it away because what I’ve planned to leave to my children, that’s already been set.”
Cooperman went on to start explaining that he just feels like this is “the right thing to do” and helping those less fortunate is what he and his wife “get the most enjoyment out of.” But Joe Kernen knew in his heart of hearts there was another reason. Continue reading »
Charlie Gasparino Reminisces About Intimidating Joe Kernen In The Locker Room, With His Schlong
By Bess Levin
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 »
