Ugh. He's like a past-her-prime housewife who thinks someone at the supermarket checked her ass out. Quit fawning and get back to currently being funny.
I haven't seen a single clip from Ant's show in the last ~1 year where I recognize the other two people sitting next to him. Nor hearing a single funny bit.
Tony Two-Shirts is the most uncomfortable-looking person I've ever seen on camera. Always fidgeting, always looking away, always with that forced rictus grin on his face.
It’s weird because he doesn’t seem to be an especially camera shy person. In every other video we see of him, from the stupid XFL thing to Opie’s Eye, and even the old Compound broadcasts, he looks comfortable. Even on the big jay roast he was doing fine (except for, you know, the bombing).
But put him in front of that green screen and put a walking corpse or a befauxhawked zilch next to him, and he looks like a 9th grader with stage fright and depression doing a presentation.
I’m being deliberately disingenuous of course. We know he looks squirmy and miserable because a) he’s still fundamentally extremely ashamed of his 2014 firing, and b) he knows his show fucking blows.
I think it isn't so much the camera itself as it is with being the host. He just isn't good at it. He has no ability to generate and "emcee" lively conversation, you can see him get nervous and start to rely on the same tics whenever he doesn't know what to do or say next. It all just kind of meanders along with him holding that grin the whole time, perhaps in an attempt to convince everyone (and himself) that he is in fact having a great time. Ant's a born sidekick, not a host, a riffer, not a steerer.
CM staff pass each other little private messages during recording of shows, that they don't seem to realise are viewable if you inspect the source code of the site. On a recent Burning Bridges episode it was mentioned that only two people were watching live.

He tells it like it is.
Calm down, old lady.

I like how he assumed Norm has seen a single minute of his shit show. Instead of almost certainly referencing Ant on the old O&A show.

Look, I think James Corden sucks balls, but the second banana on the Anthony Cumia Show has a lot of balls asking if he still has a show.
That guest’s voice sounded like he was auditioning for a morning zoo in 1996.

He also called Norm a "Sandler Talent". What a fucking idiot.

Sweet matching shirts, bros

Anthony who?
1 rsroot 2018-12-11
You may know him as Nana. He's a former shock jock and a current best selling author.

Wait... one of those things isn’t true.

I got a bit carried away. You aren't wrong.

I like how Laundau is dressed like a Columbine shooter and Nana is dressed like a Columbine victim, wonder what they mean by that

Norm once said Amy Schumer is the funniest comic on Earth. No one's perfect.
1 EastSideDan 2018-12-11
He just would always seem to say whatever "hip" woman comic in the culture is at any given time and just goes aling with it.
He did the same thing with Tina Fey back in like '08 as well and Sarah Silverman (who he did Screwed with) before that.
Him praising Anthony is un-fucking-forgivable though.

We still forgive you for NOT winning the Stern Smallest Penis contest, Hosp!

Norm compliments almost everyone. I think it's the one thing he does to stay on the industry's good side, can't blame him too much for that.

When is that fat titted co-host going to finally get cancer and die?

Keith made him do this in the first place, and still has to force him. Ant is trapped on his own "show" because he's too pussy to ever say anything.

That clip ended with me asking the same question asked at the very end, but about Anthony.

"He gave me kudos... or cooties, I dont know..." fucking homerun cumia

Eh, I appreciate the small amount of self-awareness.

He constantly looks on the verge of tears.

Yup, low budget, higher talent. Who knew that would make money.
