I was going to say that this is the best news I've heard today, but then I remembered that I don't watch this show (or Entertainment Tonight or Access Hollywood) anymore, so I don't really give a crap. But any news that makes sure someone like Pat O'Brien is seen on television less is probably a good thing.
Inside sources are saying that O'Brien's contract with The Insider will not be renewed when his current contract is up in June. O'Brien's current salary is $4 million.
Now the question is whether or not O'Brien will go back to sports full-time. I was crushed when I saw him on CBS' tennis coverage last summer and I hope he doesn't return to that. Come on readers, help Pat out. What's the best job for the soon-to-be former Insider host?

Phone sex operator?
3-way facilitator?
Coke procurer?
Who cares, he'll just be replaced by someone who will have to do the inane job of announcing where Victoria Recano is going next with the anorexic twins (btw, the answer is "Spring Break!").
Your value is inversely proportional to how many other people can do your job.
Marsh Mokhtari would be a good replacement:

Maybe he could play Flanders in a live-action Simpsons movie.

Wasn't he interested in politics once. Maybe he should run for Governor of his home state of South Dakota - he actually talked about it. As Governor of South Dakota he'd soon be forgotten by everyone - including the people of South Dakota.
