Lester Holt has jumped the shark

[WeDidIt]

I'm watching his phony baloney show on History Channel, 2012: Startling New Secrets.

He's giving conspiracy theorist idiots like Richard Hoagland face time and treating them like they actually have some scientific basis in their bullshit claims.

Lester Holt has lost more credibility doing this bullshit than Geraldo Rivera did when he opened Al Capone's vaults.

1. Funny. I just said basically the same thing to my partner as he flipped past that crapola.

2. I think DU has passed its limit of the use of " ___ has jumped the shark"

May the overuse of this phrase be eaten by a great white already.

4. I guess "jumped the shark" has "choked on the pretzel".

:evilgrin:

5. History Channel long since stopped being credible . . .

Sad, really . . . I realize cable networks are voracious consumers of content, but if you have to put totally embarassing dreck on you need to manage your programming better.

6. But Lester Holt had credibility as a journalist

and that's all gone now.

7. Just Richard? No David Icke yet?

[WeDidIt]

9. Nope, no David Icke yet

maybe there is a slight amount of saving grace for Lester...

but the show's not over yet.

10. Also

earlier today he asked about the Health Care Bill: "Who would benefit?" as if no one knows.

11. Did you say.... "Jump the shark"?????????

13. Was Lester Holt ever Fonzie?

Cause I'm pretty sure you have to be Fonzie before you can jump the shark. Lester Holt might be Potsie.

14. I can't think of his name without thinking of 'Soap'.

'Hmmm, my name is - Lester Pate! No, it's Lester Nate!'

I wish they made comedies that good today.
