The Toughest Fill In Gig In Talk Radio
Subbing for Rush Limbaugh and his legions of devoted listeners? Nah.
How about trying to fill the shoes of Dennis Prager and being able to discuss politics, philosophy, religion, and photography (sometimes all on the same show)? Nope.
It must be replacing the talented Hugh Hewitt and having to juggle the amazing variety and quality of guests that he's able to attract? Not even close.
You want the want toughest temp job in talk radio? Try filling in for Michael Savage.
Last night I stumbled across the Savage Nation and was surprised (and actually relieved) to not hear Savage's voice. I can't recall the name of the fellow taking Savage's place but after listening to him for a few minutes I realized what an unenviable position he was in. Think about it. You may take Savage for granted but it's not easy to find someone that hateful, that spiteful, that angry, that bombastic and no one can match Savage's grating, annoying delivery.
Sure this guy gave it a try but I just couldn't feel the bile coming through the airwaves like you do with Savage. I guess in that way he is just about irreplaceable. Everyone else seems so milquetoast in comparison.
Maybe Vince McMahon will be available next time.
