ill be really annoyed if yukko wins, I dont think i could take him for 3 months...
hmm tryin to decide now between sal, richard christy and cabby.
I think christy is probably the funniest, but will also be the least made fun of
I'd be a little wary of making too much out of the actual week-long auditions. I have been a regular listener for about the last 8 years, and IMO their respective contributions over the years don't necessarily correlate to their weeks:
Dan the SMP: Brilliant song-parody guy, but not the wittiest guy in person IMO. Definitely very talented in the studio.
John the Stutterer - Sad, lonely weirdo with no real sense of humor. You can't laugh with him, just at him, and this won't hold up well over time IMO. Really a non-issue anyway, since he won't take the job if he wins.
Cabbie - Horribly annoying blowhard. No sense of humor, and only accidentally funny. Brought us brilliant radio when he admitted to gay sex, but he is such a liar that you can't take anything he says seriously. Would make the show unlistenable and add nothing IMO.
Chaunce - Definitely the least-talented as a broadcaster of the entire group. Only interesting in that he is such a sad, sensitive loser, and has no self-esteem. Like Cabbie, he has interesting gossip to spread, but it largely seems to be made up, so his only contributions would come from his own pathetic life.
Joey Boots - Might be a good Wack Packer, but not really bright/versatile enough to be a good winner.
Shuli - Makes up great games, but is basically too dull for my taste. Seems like a good guy but just too low-key.
Sal - Brilliant week, but up until that week he was pretty much a one-trick pony (goofing on Gary full time). He has had ten years to prove himself, but never contributed real laughs until his week trial. He would be a good replacement for John in that he would immediately be butting heads with Gary.
Yucko - Strong, funny performer. The problem is, who will you get? He can't stay in character the entire time, because Howard's show is not about schtick, and we don't know who he really is. His routine gets annoying over time IMO, and I can't imagine him on the show every day.
Reverend Bob - Very talented, dark comic. I'm surprised his week was pretty lame. He would add a lot in terms of outrageous road stories, and would be a great addition IMO.
Richard Christy - He has contributed literally dozens of the funniest bits to the show over the last few years. His song parodies are the best the show has had in recent years, and he seems surprisingly clever and funny off-the-cuff as well. Would add an interesting chemistry because he isn't the standard NY/NJ Stern cast member. His week was not the best IMO.
My own vote is for Richard Christy, and my runner-up would be Reverend Bob, followed by Sal. None of the rest would be good choices IMO.
