I'M NOT SURPRISED: the obnoxious, ego-driven, Foodie Chap (Liam Mayclem) wants to be addressed by his peers as "Count" --I'm not kidding.Here's the skinny.
He met behind closed doors at CBS' offices on Battery with top brass indicating that he wanted official recognition as a Count "because I bring extraordinary depth to the station and a healthy batch of new viewers."
Yeah, when I heard about this I wanted to toss an arugula salad in his face.
Count Mayclem has about as much warmth as Bill O'Reilly after an all-night bender at the Gold Club.

*Meanwhile, apparently quite a ruckus the other (Saturday) night at KRON: someone high up showed up (out of the blue) to watch the 10 PM News on Saturday and discovered the break room where the frat boys and girls eat to be a giant mess.
Beginning Monday: a camera inside to chronicle who's the messy ones with the week-old lasagna and party dip that was all over the floor and nobody bothered to clean it up. I hope the bathrooms are OK.

*KTVU add: no GM; HR boss being mocked in newsroom; staff pissed off at FOX because interns are being taken advantage of; the new set delayed which has a lot of people on edge because November Sweeps are closing in. And nobody can take vacation. What a swell time in Jack London Square.

*The reason why Radnich always talks about his kids is because he's making up the time he spent with the woman he married only he was already married to another woman.
Radnich spawns because, as he said on the air a year ago, I want kids around me when I'm nearing sunset.
Real classy.

I really thought Frank was sincere and upfront but like Ibanez, lacks a certain mental element: honesty.
*Hey, Damon Bruce: Larry Krueger is prancing around town telling everyone but the mayor he makes more than you. Much more.
OK, just to make it right:
Krueger: $200K
Bruce: $325K
*The joke around town: KNBR, 3-7 PM : "The Beer and Penis Show" --sports? What's that?
The thing with Tom Tolbert which afflicts almost all radio talk-show hosts (sports and news) when you start loving yourself too much and think the world revolves around you, you lose your edge. Too much beer. As for John Lund? His voice and demeanor is enough to swallow a bottle of aspirin.

You cannot be serious.. Mayclem cornered PIX Brass behind close doors to pitch a name change to "Count Mayclem"?? Had I been at the meeting I would have said, Liam, "Count this"....
ReplyDeleteMayclem cannot be serious!
Delete$600 k a year for the knbr morning team from 10-1? That seems extremely high. Especially since Gary mails it in most mornings. They, the management, realizes this and wants to pay him accordingly.
ReplyDeleteTop rated show in the market.
DeleteThe problem with The Foodie Chump story is what the CBS suits said to him in the past...
ReplyDelete"because you bring extraordinary depth to the station and a healthy batch of new viewers."
Looks like CBS is going to be calling him "The Count"...or whatever the hell he wants to be called.
Tuff Luck Buttercup.
Any idea on the morning team makes on the Game?
ReplyDeleteMinimum wage?
DeleteRadnich pay cut from Cumulus.
ReplyDeleteThis explains why he is selling his home in Pacific Heights.
I thought he lived in St. Francis Woods
DeleteOccasionally Tolbert can still produce gems, like when he had Drew Remenda on last week to talk Sharks hockey. I think if Lund wasn't there he'd be better.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Dave Clark? He was on vacation then came back then was out all last week and today with "Dave Clark has the day off" (not Dave is on vacation).
ReplyDeleteDave Clark's father is terminally ill. He was notified that his Dad didn't have much time left, so he went to be by his side to say goodbye for the last time.
DeleteThank you
DeleteWhoa! Dylan would be very disappointed in Ibanez. No wonder the Great Bob has disdained most media forever!
ReplyDeleteGood job Richie. Tell me more about HH and Gary the cheater.
ReplyDeleteTolbert is so good at what he does, he makes Lund barely tolerable.
ReplyDeleteMr.T is the only sport's yakker I can listen to, in this market, consistently.
Are you kidding? All he does is talk about beer. That is after arriving 3 minutes late for the show start while they're playing buffer music. All he does is sit there and talk about random shit. You can find that in any random bar or gym, at 1/19th the cost.
DeleteLund is an imbecile who shouldn't be allowed on the air.
ReplyDeleteHere's my John Lund impersonation. Make a point, then laugh like its the funniest thing ever said. Ever. Ever. Make another point 5 minutes later, giggle uncontrollably. Rinse, repeat. The guy laughs on average 32 times an hour.
DeleteDon't count on it, Liam.

DeleteHeather Holmes looks good vs her weak ass competition! If you want to make fun of the way these anchors dress, you are totally missing the boat, man...Kristen Sze wears the same three slobber stained granny outfits every week, and Ama Daetz keeps doing her best Mrs. Roper impressions. Holmes is a style master compared these two clowns.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Heather Holmes is every mans dream. I caught the weather lady on 5 last night. Whoa boy. It made me think of John Denver singing about the Rocky Mountains! Beautiful lady in more ways than one!
Delete> Beautiful lady in more ways than one!
DeleteNever met her, have you?
Does Tim Ryan ever shut up during the football game
ReplyDeleteNO
DeleteTolbert's show jumped the shark once Ralph was fired. Also, KNBR's commercial load is insufferable. And I hate it when Tolbert talks to his board-op and all you hear back is silence or some stupid sound byte. R.I.P. knbr talk.
ReplyDeleteLiam Mayclem is Piers Morgan after eating clams while being allergic to shellfish...
