The "Today" show sidelined him....so wife-dumping Tiki Barber tried crawling back to "Fox & Friends" where he had appeared 2005-07.....he didn't make many friends at Fox. Tiki was perceived as smug and self-absorbed and had used Fox as a steppingstone to 'Today.'

I have to say I’m kind of surprised to hear he’s a bit of an a-hole. He seems to cover it up well while on camera.

What's a Tiki Barber?

[bwc2221]

Like Tiger Woods, this guy has a million dollar smile and no values.

[gov_bean_ counter]

The fool traded down in the process.

[Always Right]

Considering there are rumors that he left his pregnant wife for a young blond, not surprising if everyone doesn’t drop him.

[sauropod]

Funny.

I would have used those words to describe Ted Baxter, i mean O’Gasbag.

[Always Right]

The fool traded down in the process.

Yeah. The younger chick was probably hotter, but just a dumb party chick. He had an attractive, fun, and intelligent wife.

“No Tiki, no jobee.”

I'm extremely surprised. I was on "Fox and Friends" in the summer of 2006 for my book America's Victories and he was subbing for Steve or Brian---can't remember, but he was with Kirsten Chitrey---and she was cold as ice, but he was warm, interesting, and seemed a good interviewer.

What's a Tiki Barber?

A Tiki Barber is a Polynesian guy who gives you a haircut.

[fatnotlazy]

My brain has turned into mush. Even with a photo to remind me, I still don’t remember Mr. Barber.

[bonfire]

I always loved “Tiki Tuesday” on Fox.

you mean Karen don’t you. Bag ‘O’ Bones.

[OrioleFan]

On the island of Wiki-Wiki,
I met a young miss named Vicki.
I asked the young miss,
To give me a kiss, ...
She said, “No Tiki, no hickey.”

Sorry folks, I couldn’t help myself (it’s an old one).

I agree with you, I thought he was well-spoken and likable but when I read he left his pregnant wife for some bimbo I knew I had judged wrong.

"Like Tiger Woods, this guy has a million dollar smile and no values.

Like Barack H. Obama, this guy has a million dollar smile and no worthwile values.

I liked Tiki when he was on Fox and Friends... to bad he turned out to be such a douche...
