"Who Is More Trouble Than He's Worth?". Posted 01/24/2008 09:57 AM by cmonks in I Am So Very Very Sorry.
Why? Because after airing a recorded interview yesterday with all-time Jeopardy champ Ken Jennings, Henry gave out the wrong dates for his upcoming appearances in Boston. Apparently, Henry said Jennings would be in town this weekend, when in fact he's not scheduled to appear until two weeks from now. It seems Ken's publicist and many of his crazed fans berated the radio station yesterday, calling in to complain about Henry's error, so much so that Henry couldn't take it anymore. Thus this morning, with a trembling voice, he resigned from the station after reading his 9:00 am news update. As many of you know, I can relate to how Henry feels. I too, have been the victim of a Ken Jennings hissy fit. Actually, it was more a collective hissy fit on the part of his many, many fans. They are incredibly loyal. And bonkers. While I'm sorry to see this happen to Henry Santoro -- I've listened to him on and off since I was a wee teenage C -- a part of me is relieved to know that it isn't just me. Ken Jennings clearly has a machine of obsessive, crazy people behind him that's not be messed with. Who knew a game show winner would have so much weight? Thus far, this is the only mention of the incident on Jennings' board. My guess is that Isaac guy played a role in all of this. Way to go, Isaac. Way. To. Go. You made your game show hero look like a monster. Anyway, I've learned my lesson, so I won't say anything more. My thoughts are with you, Henry. Keep fighting the good fight.
