Whether you agree with his politics or not, let's take a moment to recognize that Jerry Doyle has hit Talkers Magazine's annual "Heavy Hundred" list at number 8.

Having never heard of 'talkers magazine'.... No idea if this represents a landmark of any kind?
I do know he's done very well with his radio career though, so well done to the man. Wikipedia informs me his stance is 'right libertarian'. Not quite sure what that boils down to? In UK terms, I'm guessing liberal conservative? Which always seems to me to be a bit of a contraditiciton in terms.Last edited by Ubik; 03-14-2013, 03:22 AM.Captain John Sheridan: I really *hate* it when you do that.

In the top 10 too, congratulations Jerry Doyle!
I listened to him for a while. He comes across as being a hard-boiled, world weary, old curmudgeon.
I guess to be successful in that biz, you need a lot of bluster and I could hear a lot of Garabaldi coming through his tirades.
Occasionally Jerry would reminisce about his days on B-5 which was very cool!
As much as I like Doyle/Garabaldi, I got to say that the best shows where the ones that Dwight Shultz subbed for.
Dwight is a fantastic talk show host and I wish he had his own.Comment

Ubik - Talkers is the trade magazine for talk radio, it would be like being named to a list of top 100 businessmen by Forbes magazine.Got movies? www.filmbuffonline.comComment

The one time I listened to his show was when he was rambling wildly about wanting to sue WB for breach of contract when the planned Garibaldi segment was dropped from the Lost Tales disk - despite the fact that he freely admitted that he didn't actually *have* a contract. I found the lack of logic disturbing.

Huh... given nothing was committed to film, that does seem a bit over the top. I imagine talk radio thrives on that kind of thing anyway.Originally posted by Jan View PostCaptain John Sheridan: I really *hate* it when you do that.

I agree with his libertarian politics and think he's awesome. Good for him.
I saw him on the Communist News Network the other day being talked over by the host.Recently, there was a reckoning. It occurred on November 4, 2014 across the United States. Voters, recognizing the failures of the current leadership and fearing their unchecked abuses of power, elected another party as the new majority. This is a first step toward preventing more damage and undoing some of the damage already done. Hopefully, this is as much as will be required.Comment

Exactly why I never listen to it.Originally posted by Ubik View Post
Nice to see he's doing well, though. Good luck to him."And what kind of head of Security would I be if I let people like me know things that I'm not supposed to know? I mean, I know what I know because I have to know it. And if I don't have to know it, I don't tell me, and I don't let anyone else tell me either. " And I can give you reasonable assurances that the head of Security will not report you for doing so."
"Because you won't tell yourself about it?"
"I try never to get involved in my own life, too much trouble."
