He was pretty good sometimes, but insufferable when he would talk about himself or other talk show people. Sometimes you could tell he would throw a fit for dramatic effect
Carnival barker con job of a “conservative”. A little vino might get him to speak honestly as to how easily some suckers are conned.
I do not doubt it has been a lucrative gig on his part. But the mouth is not the man he attempts his listeners to believe him to be. Still sometimes amusing to listen to his simple game/gag.
While he would constantly bad mouth his fellow talk show hosts, I think it was to try and get a response from them and he was frustrated that they never took the bait and ignored him.
I remember when he was put in the 3 - 5 time slot here in S.E. Michigan on WJR to replace Sean Hannity when WJR "dropped" Sean in favor of Savage.
That wasn't the case at all, Hannity switched parent companies. Savage bragged that he had more followers than Sean's new station 1400 AM. He failed to mention that not only was Sean on the Patriot's 1400 station but also on the FM 101.5 in a 3 - 6 time slot which was an hour more than when he was on WJR.
Savage has since been bumped out of WJR's 3 - 5 slot in favor of a local television news guy who switched to radio. I think Savage is still on WJR but for only one hour, 11:00 p.m. to midnight......LOL!
