My personal choice is Mark Steyn. But I’d love to hear the comments from others about who they would like behind the EIB network microphone.
Howie Carr could move to noon. Rick Roberts is a big favorite of mine also.
As there was only one Rush Limbaugh there will be no replacement. To think that someone can step in and do a 3 hour radio show 5 days a week is misguided, at best. Doing a shorter show with some time turned back to local affiliates seems likely.
BTW, Todd Herman has my vote.
A regular rotation of 5 guest slots/week.
No one comes close to Rush on a daily basis.
Finally, a good use of Diversity.
Snerdley or Mark Steyn
I would love to see Mark Steyn take the job, but I don’t think he would want to make the commitment as he has so many other things going on.
Brian Kilmeade... young, energetic, knows sports, history and politics and is already an author.

I know he isn’t really interested in radio, but I find Steven Crowder the closest to Rush in humor and wit. He’s not nearly as subtle with it as Rush though.
“Is time to be talking about a replacement for Rush?”
No one can replace Rush. They might take his place but they’ll no more replace him than Creepy Joe Biden replaced President Trump.
I’m fine with Hermann. Can’t stand to listen to Steyn. Not a big fan of the accent from whatever region of the UK he’s from. They pronounce their Rs like a three year old.
I heard that plans are for 90 days of previous clips from Rush’s shows over the years with guest hosts sort of bridging the gaps. Rush’s staff have been archiving/putting the clips together, knowing what was coming in the near future. After 90 days, the feeling is that Rush fans will “be ready” for someone else, at least as ‘ready’ as they’ll ever be. I also heard that Steyn has already said “no” to taking the slot for the irreplaceable Rush.
We’re assuming that talk radio is going to continue in the future as it has since, well, Rush invented the model in the late 1980s.
He was the GOAT, but the model is unlikely to last much longer. The present, much less the future of communication is found in social media, and some conservative version of Marciplier is more likely to reach the Millennials and post-Mils than talk radio.
P. S. I have a devout Catholic college student friend, and I recently asked her if she was listening to Relevant Radio. Her response was to ask who listened to radio anymore. Rush was the greatest, and technology is such that no one will ever succeed him.
Actually...a name just occurred to me.Call me crazy but...how about Dennis Miller?
I think Donald Trump could do the job well. It would be his way of going around the others in the various media.
There’s a poll here that asks that very question, FWIW:

There is no replacement for Rush. Only off-shoots. Hopefully, they will bloom.
I heard Chris Plante say the other morning that the Rush Limbaugh show is over. And he was right. -that without Rush, there IS NO more Rush Limbaugh show.
There will be a HUGE empty void to fill each day between 12 and 3pm, 5 days a week.
Let’s hope we have some QUALITY people who can step up.
Hey folks, why has no one mentioned Donald Trump?
I won’t make any choices yet... EIB won’t go away and there is someone out there that will replace Rush.
Who that is is yet to be found.
No idea for a replacement. Can’t think of anyone I would like to listen to for 3 hours straight, except my girlfriend.
She was watching me type.
