Any show with Ant and Jimmy. Why was Opie's contract ever renewed? His holdouts should have been laughed at by management. He had minimal leverage. Regis and Kathie Lee switched to Regis and Kelly, no problem.

Well, Ant is no Regis... The thing is, they work together great. The company likely thought that Opie "steers the ship" so just put in other comics and it'll be the same. But it wasn't Ant has an angry edge to him that made the show great, also made Opie more tolerable on air.

But Ant needs his someone to captain his ship and like it or not Opie does a great job at keeping Ant on point.

Ant and Jimmy is getting further and further from possible every day. I don't know at this point what Ant can do to grow his show/popularity but I hope he can.
