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.
Dennis Prager. He is the best choice with a conservative political intellect a good as Rush.
Dennis Prager
Someone unexpected, out of left field such as Drew Carey?
My guess: They will run “best of” shows with guest hosts for a month or three, to give affiliates time to figure out what to do with the slot. Then the show is over. Face it folks, Rush WAS the show. Without Rush is no Rush Limbaugh show. Everything good must come to an end, it seems.
Many of us are still mourning, even though we knew it was coming. I’ve listened to rush since he first went national. For over half my life he has been there.
It is going to be quite an adjustment to get used to the world being a Rush free zone.
Steyn has already proven himself. I vote for him. I think even our beloved Rush would approve.
Of course no one can completely take Rush’s place, but I would still pick Steyn.
Still hard to believe we will not be hearing Rush’s opening music and his so distinctive voice.
Pray for us, Rush, please.
Levin would be fine for some conservatives and unthinkable for others.
Their names floating around makes no difference at all, anyhow......because WHY would each of these two guys desert the lush, high-paying jobs they have NOW to laboriously toil three hours a day, five days a week year-round on a radio program.......not to mention the onerous preparation time Rush had to put in ???
Ain't gonna happen.
The radio honchos who produced Rush's program will look for a contemporary, much younger, promising and popular radio or TV host, rest assured.

True, no one can replace him.
I vote Steyn.
This is how I think it will be:
There will be no replacement for the irreplaceable. There will be a team of hosts, current guest hosts and new ones. There was a recent audition of sorts of a potential guest host or a guest cohost.
There is 32 years of legacy Rush archive to draw from. That’s around 23,000 hours of broadcast excellence. Rush is timeless. Liberal heads will be exploding for another 32 years and beyond.
Rush certainly knew the likelihood of this eventuality. I have no doubt that Rush and the EIB family had a plan for a long and prosperous EIB future.
Generations of Rush babies—present and future, along with a team of evolving hosts/cohosts and legacy Rush himself will keep EIB going indefinitely.
On Monday, Feb 22, we will probably know what the plan is. It will be a challenge to hold Rush’s audience but I think it can be done.
