Your Moment of Glenn: Beck Fulfills His Gazillion Dollar Contract At Great Personal Risk!

Watching Glenn Beck these days is a bit like witnessing Evel Knievel being reborn as a cable TV host: you simply cannot take your eyes off his increasingly crazy stunts, and you know at some point there is going to be a spectacular fail, which you do not want to miss. I admit that over the past few weeks I’ve become a regular watcher. In case you don’t have time for the magic, we here at Mediaite are happy to provide you with a new, Daily Show inspired feature we like to call ‘Your Moment of Glenn.’

Today Glenn wants us to know he is raking in the millions at Fox at great personal risk! He’s a clown! He’s a capitalist! Alas, he does not choose to break into song this time around.

Glad to see you are going to ad a daily segment about Beck — he is kicking everyone else to the curb with his ratings.

You might want to cut some of the snark though. If you are watching just to wait and see the “spectacular fail” perhaps you should be tuning into Olberman at 8pm.

I guess I’ll be banned and all, but Glynnis MacNicol seems to have a problem with Glenn Beck. If she thinks that hanging around just to catch him make an ass of himself is creative or fair or journalistic, she’s kidding herself. The sad thing is she is missing the truth behind what he’s saying. Glynnis MacNicol thought is was reasonable to have the government at a switch to turn off the Internet in an emergency. (Has no one at Mediaite read 1984?) I guess she thinks the segments with Van Jones communistic ravings are inspirational. Maybe she will apply for an NEA “Government Propaganda” Grant (one of Glenn’s best segments). I always used to wonder how Leni Riefenstahl managed to convince herself that Triumph of the Will was a useful artistic project. This is all very scary!!

JimW, you seem to have the same misguided obsession with Glynnis that you claim she has for Glenn Beck.

The difference is, she’s here to provide commentary on Glenn, and you’re just plain creepy.

Glenn Beck Makes ‘I Heart Mao’ T-Shirts, Reads Mediaite

by Frances Martel | 2:59 pm, Thursday

your moment of Glenn

Glenn Beck received a very special present this St. Patrick's Day from one of his major chalkboard villains, SEIU president Andy Stern: an SEIU smock and a letter written in "little girl's writing." Beck responded in kind, making his own custom t-shirt designs to match each recipient's personality. The answer to your question is no, Che Guevara does not appear, but Chairman Mao does!

South Park Returns in Fine Form, Lampooning “Sex Addiction”

by Glenn Davis | 2:33 pm, Thursday

There's been no shortage of controversy in the news since South Park last aired in November, and as you might have been aware, Tiger Woods found himself at the center of much of it. It was inevitable show creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker would take on the Tiger scandal at some point, so they got right to it last night, and delivered a classic, if by-the-book, South Park episode to kick off the show's 14th season.
