Ed Schultz Wants To Be In MSNBC Promos Or He’ll “Torch This F*cking Place”

video
» 85 comments

Seriously, people, who took Ed Schultz‘s stapler?

New York Post‘s Page Six reports the MSNBC host, whose 6pmET show features a segment called “Psycho Talk,” had an epic meltdown earlier this month after being left out of MSNBC promos about the election coverage.

From Page Six:

MSNBC talk show screamer Ed Schultz had a meltdown in the network’s 30 Rock newsroom, shouting at staff, “I’m going to torch this [bleep]ing place.”

The hot-tempered anchor of “The Ed Show” lost it during a phone call in the packed studio and slammed down the phone before exploding.

As astonished MSNBC staff members fell silent, Schultz glared around the room and yelled, “[Bleep]ers!”

A witness told us, “Ed was furious the network was running election-night promos and he wasn’t in them. He’d been arguing on the phone with marketing, then he slammed down the phone and exploded. It was like Mel Gibson had entered the newsroom.”

For an example of what this might have sounded like, check this out. The Post reports this happened August 12 – Schultz was on the air that night and the next, but was out the following week.

Inside Cable News catches what must have been a reference to the incident the next morning on Morning Joe, when Joe Scarborough pretends to walk off the set and shouts “I’m going to torch this place!”

A source told Page Six Schultz was reprimanded, told he would be fired if it happened again and “he broke down crying.” Also, “a spokeswoman for Schultz and the network declined to comment on the incident but said, ‘The only thing that’s on fire are Ed’s ratings, and the only people crying are at CNN.’” As a side note, this new CNN vs. MSNBC battle is surprising and enjoyable. Wait until things heat up in the fall when Eliot Spitzer, Kathleen Parker and Piers Morgan (probably) are involved!

Here’s Morning Joe the next day mimicking Milton Ed:

    haha i want to see Bill O’ and Schultz go at it…obviously Schultz is the smarter one but can he match the legendary vocals of O’Reilly???

  • Constantly

    what a shit ed

  • paulmdoro

    I don’t watch Ed because he seems like a self-important blowhard to me and the kind of person who actually is what he professes to hate.

  • DaTruth

    Gotta love the best line of the story: “…he broke down crying.” Tears of a clown.

  • writer

    Sick ‘em, Ed.

  • murf

    Wasn’t this buckethead crying a couple weeks ago because Obama didn’t give him an interview ?

    This man along with Olbermann are mentally unstable , and have major issues, and are gonna snap at any minute. 

    Along with being perhaps the dumbest and I mean duuuuumbest man on TV ( Rick Sanchez sorry ) , Special Ed’s violent rhetoric has a long track record. Yet he has the nerve to say the Right incites violence ?

    Hypocrisy and ignorance is a life style for these type of people .

    Again folks the left is unraveling at an alarming rate .. This is gonna be a great November to watch MSNBC ! 

    Ps. Dear Phil Griffin , I suggest you have Tom Brokaw due the election coverage on NOV 2 , for  Olbermann’s  Matthew’s  , and Schultz’s physical and mental sake. 

  • NORBIT

    WHERE’S THE ED SHULTZ STORY?
    Page Six has a lead story on how the Sarge LOST IT, for being shunned by execs in favor of Olbermann & Maddow!
    First he threw a Screaming Fit at the Studio, then NBC Brass called him into the office, and HE WHIMPERED & CRIED, like a little Sissy-Boy! – in fact, just like Olberman did when Donnie Deutch criticized him!!! LOL!!
    I mean, it’s getting pathetic over there at NBC! —– Are there no Men left?
    It seems that out of the three Axis-of-Evil Hosts at msnbc , Maddow’s got the Biggest B-lls!!
    LOL!!
    —————————————————–
    Kudos to Mediaite for running the story!

    They’re in complete MELTDOWN on the Professional Left!

    Did someone say Hope & Change? LMAO!!!!

    Just trying to be fair here,sorry!

  • lane

    Since MSNBC employs people like Olbermann and Shultz, perhaps the network could add mandatory professional psychological counseling to its employee benefits. Say what you want about Fox commentators, I don’t sense the depression vibe I feel from some of these folks. I’m not being sarcastic, I really think that some good counseling might be well, helpful.

    Wow, it looks like Ed might be the guy putting a gun to his head on election night. Alas poor Yorik, I knew him well.

    Alert… Alert….Alert to the suicide hot line…..If Ed calls hang up on him.

  • stoogedudes

    Read about this at Huffington Post and thought, “Next stop: Mediaite”, and whaddaya know?

    Even though Ed seems genuinely concerned for the middle class, I kinda have to agree with paulmdoro on this one. He has had his moments and does yell an awful lot on his show (but then, so does Glenn Beck).

    Its a good thing I took an early lunch today, because I just happened to catch Ed’s take on this on his radio show. He laughed it off and said it was half true, half BS and pointed out that the New York Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch and News Corp., essentially the Fox News of newspapers (his words, not mine, I don’t read New York Post) and that this was a shot at Ed by Rupe. He mentioned that tonight, he is going to be shooting the promos that he apparently was so furious about. So either MSNBC caved to him, or it was all BS.

    From what I’ve read about Page 6, it does sound like a gossip page, so I’m not sure who to believe, Page 6 or Ed.

    By the by, I watched Glenn Beck’s show last night. He seemed sane to me, although he was talking about the economy and the stimulus. I rather enjoyed watching it, but then he got into Van Jones and all that other schtick, and…that’s when I changed the channel. But there’s no denying Glenn’s charm. Other than his politics, I kinda like the guy.

    There. I said it. Thumbs down away.

    If this is true, it really is sad and, no, he shouldn’t have a show.

    If Eddy only understood he IS NOT a serious political commentator, but an alternative to Sanford&Son on TVLand, (NBC’s “feud” with CNN proves they aren’t even trying to catch FOX) he would better understand why even MSNBC isn’t bragging about his association with the network.

    So, you’re saying FNC has a lot of old viewers? Well, check the ratings, they destroy every other network in younger viewers too. The last time I checked, their demo numbers typically equally the demo #’s of MSNBC & CNN combined. Methinks you should find a better argument.

    When RRK posts I never read it anymore. He is an idiot and gets an automatic thumbs down.

    I know O’Reilly had that melt down many years ago when he was on that tabloid show, but since in recent years MSNBC and a host of leftist blogs monitor and record his every utterance; Were there any recent meltdowns I’ve missed?

    But we don’t read about them because the NY Post, owned by Murdoch, only prints gossip about behind the scenes freak outs of their competitors (MSNBC).

    That explains so much, like when I said in one comment section that babies are good, Hitler was bad and bin Laden is a bad bad man (or something to that effect), it got like 4 or 5 thumbs down, so either they don’t like me and thumb down my comment no matter what I say (which says more about the person thumbing down than it does the person making the comment), or they don’t think babies are good, they think Hitler is bad and that bin Laden is a good good man. People gave me a thumbs down for saying it’s wrong to joke about suicide, and thumbs up to Gordon for joking about Ed committing suicide. Sadly, I think some people read it and agreed with Gordon and disagreed with me. That’s where we are as a country.

    It shows the uselessness of the thumbs system, and no matter how good an argument you make, no matter how reasoned or non-abrasive it is, they’ll give you a thumbs down because they don’t like your opinions and therefore they don’t like you. Like I said, it speaks VOLUMES about the people who utilize the thumbs system to thumb down something they don’t even read.

    Schultz is the smarter one? Schultz – BA from Minnesota State University Moorhead, a small liberal arts school he attended on a football scholarship. Academic requirement for admission is a pulse. Has authored 1 book, tracking sales stopped when they slowed at 628 copies. O’Reilly – BA from Marist College. Less than half of applicants are accepted to this school due to rigid academic standards. MA from Boston University. MPA from Harvard. Has authored 8 books, including 3 #1 best sellers. Yeah, Meathead Schultz is definitely the “smarter one.” Good grief……….

    I’m mean if I got pissed off and got verbally abusive with someone on the phone at my work and slammed the phone down and then called the shocked people around me f@#kers, then threaten to torch the place my company wouldn’t fired me either.

    Well there is another paper in town called ‘The New York Daily News’ owned by Mortimer Zuckerman. They have a page six type gossip page. And they have nothing to do with FNC or News Corp. Zuckerman is also a frequent commentator on world affairs, both as an editorialist and on television. He regularly appears on MSNBC (YES! MSNBC!)and The McLaughlin Group and writes columns for U.S. News & World Report and the New York Daily News.

    So, do I see O’Reilly MELTDOWN stories splashed all over their gossip page.?

    If I put Bill O’Reilly in search about the best I can come up with is he has a problem with Jennifer Aniston. Did it result in an O’Reilly Meltdown? no.
    Now granted all I did was look up for the year 2010. If you folks want to go back into 2009 and beyond be my guest.

    Yeah O’Reilly can be a hothead, but to fall back on the old “Everybody Knows” argument with out any links or proof, well……

    BTW: If I put Ed Schultz in search at the Daily News Website I see they go pretty soft on Old Ed.

    Like I said, it speaks VOLUMES about the people who utilize the thumbs system to thumb down something they don’t even read.

    Who REALLY gives a fuck about the idiotic ‘thumbs up/down’ option for comments? Needy attention-whores, that’s who.
    Reminds me of the quintessential grade-school note to a classmate: “Do you like me? Check yes or no”.
    Some people just take this internet stuff WAY too seriously.

    I’m sorry but you’re getting a thumbs down from me.

    Can we ask him about the Victory Mosque? heh-heh

    Is he going to be harnessed to the desk, wired with electrodes in case he SPOTS OLBERMANN!!

    Gotta Love this!
    It’s hard keeping one damaging story to the Democrats, when the next ones

    WHAT AN ASSHOLE!

    I’LL SHOW YOU! I’M GONNA DO THE SAME TO YOU!

  • NORBIT

    usually so much better!

  • NORBIT

    Really, this is just too good!

    Here we are trying to keep the mosque story alive, because it’s such a downer for Dems; and out of the blue, Ed Shultz is BURNING DOWN NBC!!!

    Who’s writing this stuff, Seinfeld?!!!

    Why are liberals always so unhinged? So full of hate? Are they ALL that unhappy?

    For the record, your first thumbs up was from me.

  • FredCPA

    what do you expect staring into the tv set
    ed shultz!! burning down the house. ba da bum. his house. strange but not a stranger.
    if ed could just figure out which end of the match to strike…he’d be in business.

    the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire.
    let the mother f’er burn.
    hello my name is ed shultz and i’m a dumb white guy

    trying to work something with ohio players, fire…….
    that song is so friggin funky.
    i hope ed shultz never goes off the air. and never bruns anything down.
    we need to be reminded how a mind can be wasted.
    dont let this happen to you

  • NORBIT

    WHERE’S ED?!

    They have this Race-Baiting “Little-Ed” Spewin’ the HATE Tonite!!!
    Is this guy the replacement?

    He’s talking about the PROGRESSIVE (listed as such on his facebook) who attacked the muslim cabdriver.

    Loved the Milton ref, Steve.

    Really Ed, “burn the place down”?! Sounds like dangerous speech and violent rhetoric.

    But there’s no denying Glenn’s charm. Other than his politics, I kinda like the guy.

    There. I said it. Thumbs down away.

    Thumbs up from me, Stooge. Thoughtful, civil post.

  • newzmaker

    Listen to Ed’s rant against Air America., because a few others wanted his job. This guy goes nuts, when he’s angry. Also, I’m still expecting “Breaking News”, someday, when either Ed or Olbermann, goes postal, on the job.
    2 scary angry white dudes.

    I would be fired on the spot if I threatened to “torch the place” at my place of employment. I actually agree with some of his Ed’s politics, but this guy is just an egotistical jackass.

  • jk76

    AWESOME!!!

    more smacktalk, and this time CNN didn’t even say shit to get it. I wonder if it was the same spokesman that stung back the other night. I wish there were more bitchfests, but they can’t last long like maybe a couple weeks….Colbert and Stewart prove it’s tiresome after a while unless you’re a fanatic.

    wonder if this made his “FIRED UP” segment . he’s just a cheerleader no substance, but he get’s to keep his pompoms for now

  • Yoda002

    The Righties are just scared of Ed Schultz because he calls out their leaders Rush, Beck, O’reilly, Fox for what they really are, a bunch of lying fear-mongering a**holes. At least Ed is fighting for the little guy!! What is Beck fighting for Goldline. I think Beck will lose it way before Ed does. Beck cries on his set everyday.

    Temper, temper, Ed. I like his politics but something tells me I wouldn’t like the man too much. None of these talking heads seem very likable irl, except Willie Geist, Shepard Smith and perhaps Chuck Todd.

    You would like Todd. He needs to just end the charade and get on barry’s staff, hard to know where barry ends and chuck starts. Journolist par excellance.

  • Brett

    He probably has a very good reason for losing his temper. Somehow there is a common misconception that people are not supposed to be human. Human beings have feelings, emotions, dreams, goals, family, needs, wants and desires. He just lost it. Why? Upon further investigation one might find that he is being harassed / bullied in the work place like the college newspaper journalist recently in the news for fatally shooting himself due to unreasonable hazing at the hands of his boss. These packs of animals that harass people to death are bullies and from what I have seen is becoming a common Republican tactic that should be addressed immediately. Excuses like, ” I can’t change these people, ” sickens me spoken from a truly dishonorable coward. If we as a country are at such a level of escalated infighting over anything whether it be politics, race, sexual orientation, religion etc. that American destroys American then we truly are defeated. “United We Stand, Divided We Fall.” Remember those words but also remember to place checks and balances against special interest schemers or they will unbalance us all and we all shall fall as they ascend. If you think that nobody out there in the world wants to destabilize our country any way they can by setting hatred into motion then you are lost in the problem and too close to see it all the while thinking that you are doing the right thing for your team against the other team. While you are busy fighting your fellow American, someone is stabbing you in the back, invading and taking over. Bravo you won and lost at the same time. Sounds like this, ” BOOYAHHH! VICTORY! ….Crap, we’re dead or Alas we are Betrayed!

    I had heard about this loudmouth Ed and just had to see what all the shouting was about. I tuned in ONE time just to see what was going on. WOW! Never again! This Ed is a complete neurotic person. He would scare the daylights out of a lion or tiger. Is he for real? Is the only thing he can do is YELL, SCREAM and say such LIES? I think MSNBC will lose another million or so viewers if they DON”T get rid of him.

  • Some_Dude

    Let’s burn this motherfucker down Pookie!

  • WildMan

    Why in the world does put up with this fatass, loudmouth loser!!! He should be on New Jersey Shores as his childish attitude would fit right in. There are plenty of talking heads out there who would be 1,000 times better than this angry old man. In fact MSNBC needs to get off the present kick of spending all their time bashing FOX. They should be working on their own brand and not allow their envy and jealousy of FOX to show through all day long. Makes MCNBC look cheap and petty like a child always running to Mommy saying Johnny won’t let me play.
