Are you guys kidding me saying Taylor can't do the show by herself? She is one of the most naturally talented radio personalities out there. Don't get me wrong, Kenny will be missed. But Taylor could literally do the show with the wall as her cohost. There is no doubt in my mind that she can hold down the fort and do it with style. There's a reason the show is called Wake Up With Taylor.

She can't even maintain a blog with updates. Or commit to on time weekly periscopes. She is going to struggle doing a show by herself. Hopefully she starts scheduling interviews

Completely agree. There's no way she'll be able to host on her own. She doesn't have the work ethic that it takes to succeed. She's lazy AF and unless they hire a strong co-host, I can't imagine how she'll make the show work.

i think all radio shows need at least two hosts. Three or more are better if everyone is relatively funny. It's so boring listening to one person ramble on without any feedback. Like with dr. Laura, sometimes she goes silent and it's just dead air. It's like, umm, did my radio just die?

I agree. Three is the best. It makes for better conversation and it is easier if one person is off.

I don't think that it really sank in that Kenny had left until just now. I just watched chelseys newest snap where they just finished moving their furniture. It gave me a knot in my stomach 😢

What is her snap name?

Or anyone think maybe the show is done? Can you imagine if come Monday WUWT just vanished?

Omg! I wouldn't be surprised with as much they keep from us. Drat!

I don't care what they say, there has to be better way to notify us of these announcements.

BodyorAshes · 7/24/2016 11:25 pm

Like you ladies said, I do wonder if "the team" influenced him leaving. On Friday I heard Kenny say Matt came in with a PowerPoint on suggestions for the show. He was a listener for 6 years Taylor said. And he had an ex-girlfriend. All interesting. I thought he was gay. Anyway, I can see Kenny not liking the constructive criticism. I would love to get a hold of Matt's list though. I'm sure we also had similar suggestions.

Now Taylor with NEVER see Wegerino😁.

LOL! I totally had this same thought yesterday. I went to Kenny's website to see if he had any new shows posted and saw the Wedgerino ad. I still can't believe she didn't see it.

So far, not great. This lady and Taylor keep talking over each other. She also cusses quite a bit and Taylor follows. Missing Kenny.

Taylor said a few months ago she had seen it and how good it was. Still waited way too long for a "best friends" project, but she did see it.

Oh, good. I must have missed that but definitely glad to hear it

Kenny asked Taylor to wait so they could watch Wegerino together. They still hadn't got together to watch it. Taylor finally just watched it on her own and apologized to Kenny for not waiting any longer. They discussed that on the show.

I wonder if Matt pulled any of the suggestions from this board, since he (at least used to) frequent this site.

I also wish they notified us of these changes with more time. I'm certain Kenny told Sirius and Taylor at least a month ago. We know he tried to negotiate working remotely, Sirius wasn't supportive and they were relocating so all these pieces were already in motion. I just don't understand why they didn't use the audience to help support Kenny staying. People would have called, emailed, tweeted etc. By the time the theory was confirmed, it was way too late.

With that said, I do think there is value for Kenny in cutting ties and moving on. He is super talented but I don't think the show was the best vehicle for him. It always bothered me when Taylor would interrupt him IF he was telling a story. I know it's Wake up with TAYLOR but she hijacked everything Kenny ever tried to say. No wonder he started just agreeing.

Also, guess textgate with the Nanny doesn't matter now! lol

Awww, that's so sad One thing if it was totally his idea to move on to something else, breaks my heart he wanted to make it work and they wouldn't.

I agree. Man I miss Kenny so much right now. I think the move may be better for him too professionally

I was so disappointed in Kenny's last show. Don't know if I should blame Taylor for not asking Kenny certain questions we all wanted answers to or Kenny just did not want to share any info which is typical Kenny if you ask me. He never reveals anything. Taylor at least is super open about her life which makes her so entertaining. I was hoping to get answers to questions such as: 1) When did Kenny and Chelsea make the decision to move?, 2) what were the reasons K & C made the decision to move?, 3) How did Kenny go about telling Taylor that he was leaving?, 4) What does Kenny's family and friends think about the move?

What do you guys think?

Would love to know all of that!! i feel like we'll never know now. Maybe people will ask on Periscope.

Great questions. Maybe if he revives his podcast we can send him some questions. Or, if he decides to periscope again. I'm curious why he stopped all of that as he seemed in his element being more of the lead. Maybe he just didn't have the time.

micdrop · 7/25/2016 9:47 pm

There's a lot of mysteries. I feel like in the weeks leading to him leaving Wake Up he wasn't on social media much and he stopped doing his podcast. It's all kinda odd. I wonder if that morning Tay came on air crying was the day he told her

meepmeep · 7/25/2016 10:25 pm

Ohhh that is an interesting thought. I forgot about her crying that morning. Maybe next periscope she can answer why she was crying that morning. But she might act like she does not remember it.

TOKYO · 7/26/2016 8:02 am

Which morning did she come on air crying? I have no recollection of that for some reason...

Okay good. I missed that. I'm glad she saw it.

FKFriday · 7/26/2016 8:10 am

I'm thinking months ago, like maybe even still snow on the ground here? It was right after the first 7 things, Kenny tried to cover and she said something about not talking about it and went to commercial really quickly.

It was back in march. There's a thread on here about it. She was crying during the 7 things and had to go to a break right away.

micdrop · 7/26/2016 10:05 am

Ah I didn't realize it was that long ago.

TOKYO · 7/26/2016 12:28 pm

I guess that timeline would make sense. I know they said this came to fruition suddenly but I think leaving Sirius is the part that happened quickly, not the move.

So curious to know where they are living in Pittsburgh. Will let yinz know if I run into them.

kmswboda · 7/26/2016 2:40 pm

If Jenny McCarthy can do her show in Chicago, why can't Kenny call in from Pittsburgh?
