Pat O’Brien Is Really Fired This Time
It sounds like the folks at The Insider have finally had enough of Pat O’Brien’s crazy shenanigans. The New York Post is reporting that Pat got fired yesterday, for real this time, after homie fired off some insulting and boastful emails to his co-workers. This incident IMHO isn’t as embarrassing as that voicemail incident that O’Brien got embroiled in a couple of years ago but it looks like The Insider is fed up … he’s dunzo, y’all:
PAT O’Brien is out of a job. The former host of “The Insider,” who was demoted to a correspondent after several stints in rehab, infuriated his bosses when he sent out an ill-advised e-mail Monday to his “Insider” and “Entertainment Tonight” co-workers, which boasted of his own popularity. The e-mail also said one of “Insider” host Lara Spencer’s segments on the show makes viewers “want to vomit.” Sources told us O’Brien was fired yesterday, and a rep for “The Insider” confirmed he’s out.
Yeah, Pat O’Brien sounds like a total mess. You’d think he’d have learned his lesson after his previous public shame and supposed rehabilitation in rehab but … I guess not. It sounds a bit fishy that he would not get fired over the voicemail incident but does get fired after sening off “ill-advised” boastful emails — so I suspect there’s more to the story. In any event, Pat O’Brien is looking for work these days … as any of y’all hiring?

Maybe he is a mess, but that Lara Spencer does make me want to vomit.

It’s about time they fired him. He doesn’t learn his lesson. I haven’t watched these shows in yrs though, they’re such garbage. I get my news from you now Trent. :)
I hope this helps him to see the light and ship up.

I’m 28 and old. Can someone tell me what IMHO means?

IMHO = In My Humble Opinion

Ditto Jackie’s comment. Honestly, we live in the age of the Net. I don’t really watch any of the “entertainment” shows anymore. (Unless it’s to see my girls, Carrie and Kelly lol). By the time they are on, I already know their news. Besides, they’ve all become so trashy.

IMHO – I thought meant “In my honest opinion,” but either way, they kinda mean the same thing, but anyway, I’m glad he’s gone.
