IMO Anthony may find that the guests & comedians that he's convinced will appear on TACS in NYC don't pan out. I'm sure many of the regular guests from the old O&A show might make an obligatory appearance (just like many did one time after TACS debuted) but I doubt any will appear frequently.
As far as other celebrities appearing, I can't imagine anyone with a decent public relations team will ever appear on TACS.
The first 2 or 3 weeks when he still gives a fuck it will be good & people will even say so. Then he'll stop giving a fuck like he always does & it'll be more of the same
Opie turns up and smashes shit up. Ant goes to shoot him but can't bring himself to do it. Keith goes to shoot him but Club Soda Kenny goes full ape and breaks the faggots face off.
Having a studio, and him deciding to broadcast from it instead of the one in his basement is the real issue. Im sure there will be lots of days where doesnt feel like commuting into the city, so he just wings it in the basement with Keith the Cop
So you really think they won't go to the city after showing lot's of pics of it being done up? i suppose after not getting the app you could be right! Oh wait...
No, im sure there is a studio for lease. I don't think they are so crazy that they would take pics of some random place and claim it as theres... In my mind I just see LoS and Gavin getting the vast majority of the use of that place.
For TACS to be a success in the long run I hope I am wrong.
Too little too late. Ant's pretty much solidified his reputation as being a white supremacist podcast at this point. There's no way he's got any sort of meaningful audience size - to put it in perspective, SiriusXM is already C list for celebrity appearances - and very few people are going to want to align themselves with a show whose host has such a toxic reputation. If he had hit the ground running with a New York studio right after he was fired, and if the content wasn't just constant lunatic cranking about black people, it might have worked out. But now it's just a money pit.
He'll stop going into the city the 3rd week of august and pay LOS and Gavin a few bucks more to do their shows from the city. Keith will talk ant into leasing him another mercedes and by December ant will be doing 2 days per week and Dani will have her own show.
I think Anthony will have an average of 2-3 really good shows per week from New York featuring comics like Jimmy, Colin, Vos, Bawby - sometimes combos of them.
He'll still be a raging nut for 1-2 shows per week. Most of us won't care because the other shows will be hysterical. A few people will bitch and moan anyway.
Badly, if at all. I hope it bankrupts him, or helps to, which it probably will.
He hates driving to Manhattan. That alone will make his appearances there few and far between. People think more comics will come on. Really? He's more openly racist and toxic a year after his firing. If a publicist gets wind of it, he'll never see another comic again. It looks like even Jim is starting to steer clear of him. It'll be a money pit that he will barely use--if it even comes through at all. I fully expect it to fall through entirely. He can't afford it.
I tend to agree, especially about the whole publicists having their clients steer clear of him thing. He can and will at present give people like Schumer a pass for apologizing disingenuously as a function of "playing the game" and sustaining career inertia, but I suspect we're going to see a lot more drunken resentment pour out on quickly deleted videos once that same game playing results in his Manhattan investment ultimately being in vain.
lol he/she/it used toxic without any sarcasm. you seem to be confused in thinking that a few downvotes or upvotes from your multiple accounts makes it seem like you're right. you amuse me much more than benjamin, your headmate, with that approach.
it's cute you're playing dumb. i'd love to read your tumblr at some point, the world needs more people like you unpacking the invisible knapsack of white privilege and i'm so very pleased you've brought the good word to this humble little subreddit.
'bama ain't bless you, he shit all over you and he gonna keep doin' it.
That's disparaging towards the underclass unable to afford proper dental care. Now go and mortify your flesh with an over sized black phallus for such impure thoughts and language.
You're my pet project now, I understand you're either being a SJW caricature or maybe just a bit gassed up from your last gender studies college curriculum. Yet you've found us and we can still fix you, I believe it's in you to pause your political correctness and achieve a moment of clarity that will have a sense of humor shine through.
It'll be tough, but I will make you post something that genuinely makes me and others laugh and not this vanilla tripe you're currently serving.
It'll probably be like how it is now; but with more sycophantic (tm benjamin) fans around/dropping by. Maybe he'll get more O&A regulars such as Jimmy, Vos, Bobby, Colin and so on; but "bigger" guests? I don't see it because Anthony's entire brand is pretty much on par with an insane, white supremacist.
That said, I'd probably rather listen to rapport between O&A regulars than shitty guests, anyhow. But pretending like it'll be some sort of big, changing thing is a little silly.
Same comedians plus a few others as the O&J show. No real guests of interest. Lots of dirty sluts in studio talking about how much of a whore they are. Fizzles out and ultimately becomes even more of an afterthought than it already is.
When the existing pool of comics and guests that are willing to go on his show evaporates he'll have to really lower his standards and start accepting any nut desperate for publicity.
It will be better than it is going on Long Island. But after the first month where Ant gets some good guests and gives an effort the improvement will be short lived.
It will basically revert to the same show but Ant will be able to pull a good guest once a week.
I just think he's screwed demographically no matter what happens. He's a 60 year old with a fan base centered around a mean age north of 30. He's not adding new listeners.
But it may not be as dire as we think. Let's give him the absolute benefit of the doubt and say he can charge what Opie Raqio does for a live read. What does he do - two per show? So he's probably topping out at 200k per year there. Let's call it 25k subs and give him him the absolute benefit of the doubt. I can't believe it is any more than that. So he's looking at $2.3mm with ads there. It's likely far less than this. What is the size of the office space? 2k square feet? He can get that for somewhere south of 10k but let's call it 10. Generously another 200k in salaries, but probably far less. Lop off half for taxes and even if we go with some exorbitant miscellaneous costs like 300k; after taxes he's still probably north of 400k. Even if subs are much lower he could still be at 300k and he owns his house. As much as he has annoyed me these past few months predictions about his demise (not health related) may be greatly exaggerated.
My prediction is that Ant will put in a month. In that month he'll see he isn't getting the guests he had hoped for and he'll realize he could do the same no guest show from home. He'll use the excuse that he doesn't like driving into the city.
It's hilarious how you guys declare Bill Burr and Louis unfunny the minute they stop associating with the Show. Burr and Louis are funnier than O&A. They always have been. The show was funny because guys like that were on there. Now they aren't and the shows aren't funny. They don't even get decently known up-and-coming comics because those guys know better.
No, I just don't think Burr is as funny anymore because I watched his last special and didn't laugh. And MMP has had a downward spiral for some time now. I don't think he's unfunny. He clearly is funny. His HBO half hour is one of the best. I just haven't been a fan of his new stuff for a few years.
so people use ammunition provided by anthony being open and honest about his life and then call him a liar when he's said the deal is signed and sealed. i think it's as airtight as a guilty white man or woman having every orifice filled with black peckahs. the biggest problem i can see is them being evicted because of boisterousness.
