KGO Radio is using one of its rotating hosts on Sunday night; tonight's talk-show host is the pathetically idiotic Mark Thompson, who was so bad this evening I almost puked.
Thompson, as I've stated ad nauseum, is in love with his voice and uses it as a substitute for talent, of which he has none. Thompson is a cavalcade of NOISE and pedantic shtick. At a time when listeners demand INFORMATION and vitals, like the ongoing protests, Thompson seems to think his brand of humor (none really) is what people want. They don't, and were they were offered legitimate humor and entertaining takes, fine, Thompson could serve that role but he doesn't have the chops. He's not even close. It's painful to listen to unless you like an audio colonoscopy.
Hell no, you don't.
Thompson is in LA where he broadcast from his home studio. I had to laugh out loud (literally) because on several occasions, he made reference to his producer, (Albert) as if both were together. First off, they were not. Second, the back and forth banter Thompson likes to portray simply isn't fact, it's a downright lie. And beyond that, IT ISN'T FUNNY! Because Thompson ISN'T FUNNY!
What a TOTAL ABOMINATION! What a disgrace. A disaster on ALL fronts.
Can't stand his yelling with joy, excitement, humor, or anything he thinks needs emphasis. he's a nut.

ReplyDeleteIf that had come at the beginning I'd assume you gonna talk about Chip Franklin, Nikki Medoro, or Broken Record Thurston...Thompson is by far more listenable than that sorry bunch.
This low-paying, low-respect field does attract more than its share of egomaniacs. One of them reports every night from his home/music room/waterbed in Napa.
ReplyDeleteThompson is kind of a light snack in comparison to the other more heavy hitting hosts, but at least I can listen to him. i constantly have to switch off Thurston when she starts revving up.
ReplyDeleteChip has slouched a little w/o Nikki but is ok when he's not reminding us for the 900th time that "he has white privilege" and is such a badass that he's prone to fighting guys who piss him off in public.
Here's a tweet from Mother Teresa....
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, that just never gets old! It's gold, Jerry...Gold!
Never listen to this asshat but I reject KGO for treating us like booger eating morons and shove the idea of a local program from a local dj sent from Los Angles......what dicks
ReplyDeleteI think Mark is a lot better than when he started. His show is not appointment radio, like John Rothmann, but I listen. I like him as a person, he seems to be a really good person, loves animals, and comes off as someone compassionate. I like his swamp sweep, and he does pretty good interviews, although they are short. Anyway there is no one else on at that time I'm interested in listening to.
ReplyDeleteBest thing to happen to Mark is his producer Fresh Faced Producer Alfred
ReplyDeleteMark Thompson used to do the weather on KRON 4.
ReplyDeletePat Thurston used to be on 95.7 The Express KPIX
Damn Mark lay off the BoTox. Your on radio not TV. Looks like the only that can move is his mouth unfortunately.
ReplyDeletethey've been trying to push him and niki medoro for months now with these "cute" promos showing how hip and edgy they are..i guess if medoro bombs she can go back to working with chip franklin, thompson would go the way of ethan bearman
ReplyDeleteWasn't he in the movie "Young Frankenstein?"
ReplyDeleteYes,you need all-screaming radio in your ear from the moment you wake. Stick to the program!
ReplyDeleteSo many right-wingers on this site... Anyway, I don't know what KGO is up to now: scheduling is all over the place, with Chip apparently on in the mornings and some awful guy I had to switch off in Chip's usual afternoon slot. I'm not fond of Thompson but think Chip (when he was on at a time I could listen) and Pat Thurston are good — and John Rothmann could be great if he stopped taking calls from that nutcase Trumper in Cotati.

DeletePerhaps you would be better of reading/posting to another blog that only supports your narrow view.
This is a blog that shows all views, not just your narrow point of view. Whether you know it or not, there are good points and good people on both sides that, if you were open minded, could be learned by all.
Yet, in your narrow view, all opinions other than your own are wrong, ignorant, unacceptable, or unspeakable. That is ignorance.
Open yourself to opposing views and you may have a better understanding of how you interact with other people with differing views.
No? I thought so.
That's Rob in Richmond. To him, Trump is a deity who's every action is not only justified, it's brilliant. He's disgusting. Rothmann carves him up every night.
DeleteYou are so right. Somehow it seem when someone became a Trump supporter any critical thinking and acknowledge facts went out the door. One of my very best friends from 1967, who grew up in affluent and mostly liberal Westport Ct. is now a staunch supporter. He use to be middle of the road, liked Kennedy, liked Bush, even had kinds words about Obama when he was first elected. I cannot discuss (via email he lives in Florida) Trump with him, he cannot admit anything Trump is doing wrong, although I know, that since he is a nature and animal lover, he is not thrilled about the assault on our national parks, and the latest one, allowing hunters to kill bear and wolf cubs. He is neither ignorant or stupid, has a Ph.D in biochemistry, was an associate professor at Harvard. I'm at a loss, why these people think Trump walks on water. Defies common sense.
