Goodbye Larry Kudlow Report
In a surreal and deja vu-ish turn of events, three days ago we reported that in parallel with the ongoing collapse in CNBC viewership, the ratings of some of its shows namely Jim Cramer's Mad Money and Larry Kudlow's Report had just hit all time lows.
This was met with an immediate response by Larry Kudlow himself who, alongside Groundhog Phil-fodder Joe LaVorgna, decided to take Zero Hedge to task for reporting that part-time jobs are not really full-time jobs and invited us over to their show to explain how dare we point out the weakness in the manipulated BLS datadump. We were kind enough to remind Mr. Kudlow that the last time someone from CNBC "invited" us over, i.e., Dennis "Digital Dickweed" Kneale, their show was promptly cancelled. To wit: "While we appreciate the offer, the last thing we intend to do is suffer Mr. Kudlow the same fate as that experienced by his predecessor Dennis Kneale who also invited Zero Hedge on his laughable excuse for a show in 2009, only to be sacked a few months later." Make it two for two as irony strikes again.
The NY Post reports that Kudlow's show is over.
CNBC is close to bagging former CBS News anchor Harry Smith for a new talk show, which is almost certain to replace “The Kudlow Report” at 7 p.m., The Post has learned.
Smith is already signed to NBCUniversal.
“If we could figure out a way to utilize his skills to serve our very affluent and highly educated audience I’m sure we’d be interested,” said a CNBC spokesman.
“The Kudlow Report” is off roughly 60 percent in its key 25- to 54-year-old target audience.
Next up: we expect an "invite" from Jim Cramer.

See Lauren Lyster's legs on RT? Is she back?
I think that ABC-Yahoo has her in a dungeon somewhere. The best way to shut her up was to hire her and have her sign an exclusivity contract. She was just too damaging to the MSM on Capital Account.
It is really sad that she fell for it. By the time this meltdown happens she will be forgotten. But she was a young kid and easily distracted.

this has to be bullish.. for something.
I agree with all the posters here how are now glad to see this harpy have a wooden stake driven through its heart.
I stopped watching this joker after the continuous grind that the stock market was a great investment, Burnanke could do no wrong, and there was no depression but only recovery going on in this country . . . oh yes . . . and there really was no "real" inflation or unemployment in this country.
Glad to see this joker being sent back to the Hamptons with his elitists friends reside. Any poster on this site has more intelligence in their little finger, than this dead head. John
Word is there's a ZH invite coming from the White House.
Drone attacks are generally not scheduled in advance.
Not that I want to help them or anything, but surely they realise that Santelli grabs ratings, why not give him his own show? or would that just be to big a platform on which to let him air his views?
They only have him there as token conservative voice. CNBC's religion is Bernankeism.
There's always that Morning Joe guy and the Senate Republicans as token conservative voices.
Larry ...got coke?
Just don't tell me he's going to be replaced by another English person from the UK. I don't know who thought we want to hear from British broadcasters, but they're horrible. Downton Abbey is enough thank you.
Oh great, now we gonna get 2 hours of 'Chasing Cars'....from Duddier to Duddier: 'smart cnbs'.
We can only hope this worthless Communist is sent packing. He is the antithesis of what he calls 'Free Market'. Hope he rots in Hades!
can you hear Queen singing, "another shill bites the dust".
After his firing CNBC can replace him with 2 part-time interns for a net +1 job pick-up.
But that would bring about the end of QE, as the unemployment rate, once the necessary "calculations" were completed, would drop below the Fed's threshold...
It's really a shmae. Larry used to be an interesting thinker. King dollar and all that. He was a voice of reason, and sometimes I used to enjoy his optimism (me being a pessimist at heart financially.) After that stint in rehab he re created himself and was doing good work. Well sometime around 10 years ago he decided the path of least resistance was to suck the balls of his superiors and sell out any original thought he might have had. Well obviously that pleased his masters and they used him until they did not need him anymore. They can find a younger, fresher face to lick their taints now. Remember ... we all must conform!
I'm not sure what any of this has to do with me getting into Amanda Drury's underpants to find out what is truly going on down under.
ZH....IS the man behind the curtain!? that's it, I'm only part of fridge organizations. ZH is now mainstream and too powerful...I found a blog broadcast from some bunker from Arizona i'm going to follow.
He used to do breakfast show with LIESman years ago and even then peter schiff used to mock them...farewell jackass
RE
Wait, isn't Ludlow a "Republican"? You'd think he'd celebrate the news from ZeroHedge and take the data to hammer Obama. ZH, who despite being a mostly Libertarian blog, actually does this thing that CNBC doesn't: report these things called "facts" (which are not partisan).
The Big Money in this country should just start a NeoLiberal Fascist party already and stop with the "Just the Tip" approach. Show some balls you fucking assholes.
They'll never can him; he's a staple of the station. They might change the format of his show, maybe have a celebrity co-host or something......but the day they can Cramer, will tell us all that not only is CNBC in trouble, but it will point ot signs that the NeoCorporate Fascist financial system might (finally) collapse.
Anyway ZH could get an invite to a WH press conference where Obowel takes a Q & A?
Put that death dealing mojo to some real positive use.
Yup, lets get Kramer axed next for his useless, crass style and moronic brain and then hope he gets indicted for destroying the wealth of millions of Americans. Not even going to mention his charity "trust" account. Rigghht.!!
May more be asked to slither out sooner rather than later.
Just a guess here but I think people are finally figuring out everything the government says or does is bull shit and the people who pimp the government line are bullshit as well? As far as cramer he was phoney from the get go.
Goodbye, Larry "King Dollar" Kudlow!
Tyler, since he'll be out of a job soon you should invite Larry over to ZeroHedge (post an article) so we can all tar and feather him.
Cramer is far too the narcissist to invite someone that might debate him on TV. Every one of Cramer's guests are corporate heads that he also happens to love and likely has a financial interest in his trust.
Kudlow is still on the air?? Well whatta ya know.
Please please get invited by Cramer
I took my first bong hit at 4.....
At 11, I blew the existing paperboy for his route.....my first hostile takeover....
By 15, I was a the King of check kiters......
At 45....I was introduced to adult theaters......and found Jeff Zucker....
My life is a blur, thanks to 1,000's of Manhattans .............
I'm Larry Kudzu.....and I am cbnc
Kudlow was a master at the well practised strategy used at CNBC of cutting off the conversation of anyone who tries to speak the truth about the markets. In a seven minute segment Kudlow would talk for 3, the bullish guest(s) would get 2 minutes, the realist guest would get 30 seconds before being shouted over, Kudlow and the bullish guest(s) would then mock the bearish guest, the bearish guest would get 15 seconds to fight back, then Kudlow would cut to a commercial. Same pattern as most CNBC shows.
I will never forget I was in an airport in Atlanta talking to this guy who was a republican. Kudlow was on. He said that he was at a seminar with him as the speaker and that Kudlow was so extreme and so far to the right that he literally had to get up and leave. He couldn't take it. I never watched Kudlow a second after that.
Is/was Kudlow a neocon? He went from being an extreme leftist liberal to an extreme right winger over-night when he joined up with Ronald Reagan.
From wiki:
"Known as "Kuddles" to friends, he was a star on the tennis team and a member of the left-wing SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) at Rochester. In 1970, Kudlow joined Joseph Duffey's "New Politics" senatorial campaign in Connecticut. Duffey was a leading anti-war politician during the Vietnam war era. Kudlow, working with Yale student Bill Clinton as well as many other rising young Democrats, was known as a "brilliant" district coordinator. In 1971, Kudlow attended Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, where he studied politics and economics.
Kudlow began his career as a staff economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He worked in a division of that bank that handled open market operations, which involve buying and selling bonds to help control inflation and interest rates. In 1970--still a Democrat--Kudlow worked on the U.S. Senate campaign of Joseph Duffey, along with Bill Clinton, John Podesta, and Michael Medved, another future conservative, and in 1976 he worked on the U.S. Senate campaign of Daniel Patrick Moynihan, along with Tim Russert, against Conservative Party incumbent James L. Buckley, brother of William F. Buckley, Jr.[5]
During the first term of the Reagan administration (1981–1985), Kudlow was associate director for economics and planning in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which belongs to the Executive Office of the President."
“..to serve our very affluent and highly educated audience I’m sure we’d be interested,"
This must be code for something.
does Obama have a show you can be invited on ?
Third time's the charm.
Tyler for president!
I was listening to Peter Schiff a week or two back and he said he'd like to have someone from ZeroHedge to interview on his radio show.
It would be a good interview, but we need to see someone from ZH challange Peter's absurd statement "Greed is good!"
Too weird! O.o
Careful ZH, We wouldn't want to get branded non-journalists now would we. Assange wouldn't be in the Equadorian embassy, and Snowden wouldn't be headed for Venezela if they had appeared on Kudlow & Cramer.
At least he will get a nice retirement, unlike myself....
They'll turn on each other as the shit goes down.
Next up, Jim Cramer.
lol
That was fast
So when will CNBS give the Federal Reserve it's own show? Bullard seems to be on it enough.
Maybe Bernanke, Bullard, Evans and Yellen can replace Jim Cramer's Mad Money and call it QE forever money
Hahahaha......60% of stocks are traded by computers....Besides Larry Kudlow is a HASBEEN ....
Actually, because of ObamaCare, CNBC is cutting his job to part-time!
He should get a real job.
AMF
oh well now that i don't have a show anymore i'll go back to drinking binges
When it comes to money, no one likes propaganda. Fuck you Goldman Sachs.
Well....I guess we need to go long cocaine now.
The last good unscripted Kudlow show, he was stressing the importance of buying silver. He had a silver troy in his hand and said it was the only real money, meaning precious metals in general.
Went to commercial, then the show resumed with a flustered disheveled host.
....."In other news"
CNBC is a friggin joke. Always will be until they start telling the truth or just stop using the phrase "free market capitalism" rode the wheels off that punch line.
Calling Lauren Lyster, Calling Lauren Lyster.
.. needed to change the direction and save the station, urgently.
Can we get a White House invitation for ZH?
Soon?
Regards, ald
Good Riddance!
I remember watching his show once or twice, just to see if I was missing something and wow did I get a quick education about financial media. Kudlow was supposed to be one of the "good guys." Well I found out real quick that it was the same shit with a different face.
He can take his green shoots and stuff them up his and NBC management's asses. Many other comments but what would be the point? NBC exists to propagandise and indoctrinate the masses, especially when if comes to protecting their interests and retirements. Their background colour should be red with hammer and sickle highlights and would be if they were honest.
Good f**king riddance Kudlow. Maybe you can get a job sanding the corns off Kissingers feet, and changing his bedpan.
... and then join the landscaping crew to get all the 'digital dickweed' off the lawn.
WHO exactly watches CNBC because they need and expect accurate information anyway? Everyone even slightly clued in knows the market no longer operates on fundamentals and is completely rigged. I'm sure the 80% of transactions daily coming from HFT don't depend one iota on CNBC. CNBC should rename itself to CPCC (Centrally Planned Crony Capitalism) network and just broadcast speeches by Bernanke and his kind.
ZERO HEDGE, the Number 1 financial blog on the planet!!!
There's a certain magical quality about the truth. Even if it's bad or you don't like it, it's still the bleepin' truth.
The cheerleading parrots in the lamescream corporate media cartel don't have a chance in a fight with Our Hero, Tyler Durden, his high-capacity magazines always loaded for bear with the truth. His shots are always grouped in the bullseye, crony capitalism under a central banking oligarchy, while the shills ain't even on the paper.
Larry Kudlow apparently made a bad mistake trying to attend the local Fight Club.
Hahaha, well done ZH !
I have never been able to listen to Kudlow. His voice grates against me like Sarah Palin's. Actually everyones voice is starting to grate against me.
His name was Kudlow.
Kudlow has documented addiction issues
Come on, everyone, say it with a lisp: "Liquidity, liquidity, liquidity!" LOLOLOLOL...sayonara, you worthless piece of shit....
Tyler, if the girls from naked news financial report invite you over would you decline that as well?
Well, there's lots of Tylers.
An entire team of Space Monkeys.
But... even if I had to be naked for the Naked news girls too, I'd do it. Hellz ya.
Whenever I saw LK (which was only briefly while channel surfing), the words "supercilious asshole" immediately came to mind.
Celebrate! another puppet gone!
ZH refusing an opportunity to go toe to toe? Seriously, when one crucifies these guys on a regular basis in the blog-o-sphere it is only fitting that you take the opportunity to allow a bit of mano-e-mano, in front of their audience. Why would you refuse that?
cnbc run by imbeciles of the lowest order.
they think their viewers are 12 year old video gamers, who need a juvenile sound effect with every graphic that displays.
I suspect many of them buy k-y jelly wholesale, iykwim
But will his replacement be a much needed improvement? Based on CNBS's track record I'm not hopefull and expect that the spreading of BS will continue by yet another talking head who is doing nothing more than reading a script.
Well I hope this doesn't cause Larry to go back on the coke. Although I often thought that maybe his thinking would have been clearer if he'd stayed with the stuff. He sure could spout some silly shit. Bye, bye bozo!
American Greed; All day every day. The new CNBC, Either that or just have Stacy Keach narrate all the shows.
