Yeah, if she was fired there are no more Sirius shows that are going to happen. And Andy probably won't offer her anything on Bravo because of his affiliation with Sirius either. I wonder what else she can do....? She isn't an actor, so I'm thinking podcasts or more TV hosting jobs would be her only shot.....

I'm really hoping Sirius hires a new personality to take over that slot. Might be awesome to have someone new to listen to. Fingers crossed

Sad thing is with her complete lack of social media presence and savvy I just don’t see how podcasting would pay the bills for her. I think she’s going to have to take something cheesy or a regular job like the rest of us :/

LMAO, your user name is amazing!!!!

Didn't she say she would be a real estate agent if she wasn't on the radio?

Guys, it had to be this trip that did her in.

She affiliated it with the show saying she would broadcast from there, but the website wasn't sponsored by Siruis. I mean sending your CC info over email? That was REAL shady and probably out of contract for Sirius. That's some major stuff. You can't say that a company you work for is sponsoring your getaway with your girlfriend, expect people to pay you $1400 and expect Sirius not to be mad about that? You are using their name and was she giving any money to them?

No abs not. This was her own greed and arrogance that caused this. She got herself fired.

I should preface that I feel terrible for her. I mean I bagged on her a lot. I didn't like the show. Said I was done. It was stale and she had no new content. But I listened from the start.

it's horrible to be fired. Especially so publicly. Especially when it was your own stupid fault.

I would want to crawl into a hole.

She better start her podcast like tomorrow. She needs to keep whatever momentum going at this point.

I noticed her followers on IG went up by 1k since yesterday.

👆
Exactly. I would bet money that it was the trip. She fucked up big time.

Kenny & Wider's podcast has gotten pretty good- it's mostly just the two of them shooting the shit, but I really enjoy it.

micdrop · 10/16/2017 6:07 pm

I enjoy their podcast and think Kenny might look at these pages from time to time. I love them. I hope they keep the podcast going and lengthen it a bit.

Durst_Burp · 10/16/2017 6:11 pm

I agree that the trip is probably the reason she was fired. I'm listening to the replay of Jenny from this morning and from the way she is talking about the situation there is no doubt in my mind she was fired and it was relatively abrupt. And I would think if this was a planned thing and Taylor quit because she had a new gig lined up, she would have announced it already.

Sometime in the last year she mentioned that her dad said she should get her real estate license just in case. I don't remember if she sounded interested or not. If she does, she'll probably try to glom on to Fredrik but when it comes to business that guy is no joke and she wouldn't last 5 minutes with him. He is the definition of a hustler.

No1WiderFan · 10/16/2017 6:22 pm

Welp, this was the impetus for me to call in and get the half-price annual deal offered. I decided to call and cancel and if they offered me the half-price deal I would stay, if they didn’t I would go. I like Jenny McCarthy’s show and occasionally a few others, so glad I don’t have to find other ways to listen.

I have no clue why the show ended, but that was definitely not the first time she shared that story. I have heard her tell that story at least 5 times over the years.

Satellite radio can drop a show without warning, and they do it frequently. If ratings are low, or complaints are filed, the show is off the air in a snap. It could be as simple as that.

youcaaango · 10/16/2017 6:56 pm

I haven't listened in quite a while but kept up with all things WUWT on this board (thank you!) since I was a listener from Day 1. Does anyone find it coincidental that she is let go the same day that Bobby Flay's show starts on Starz? Perhaps it's just a case of lowest guy goes?

I can think of many reasons why the show should have ended (laziness and unprofessionalism at the top of the list) but maybe we're reading too much into this. Sounds like it could just be a strictly business decision.

Longtimelistener · 10/16/2017 7:06 pm

Bobby started a few weeks ago. His show sucks so far. I heard two episodes. As we frequently debated on here, radio is not the medium for food discussions.

Ugh, no kidding- when are they going to learn? Food talk sucks when you CAN'T SEE THE FOOD.

If this was the case though, Carly wouldn't be talking about her contract being renewed. Something had to have happened over the weekend.

I think whoever mentioned something at the wine show, except there is NOTHING online anywhere about her being fired. Other then here, FB and IG, there is no mention. At an event like that, if something had happened and she was fired as a result, someone would be reporting on it.

What post and or screenshots? Can you share or send privately?

FKFriday · 10/16/2017 7:47 pm

Yep! I have it as well, I can't post from my phone though

Lboog · 10/16/2017 7:49 pm

Can you summarize the post???

FKFriday · 10/16/2017 7:51 pm

Prya promoting being on the show next week. I just texted the pic to DB to post, she's way better then me!

It was her announcing that she is going to be live on Wake Up With Taylor starting next Monday at 7:30 AM.

Also, I just relistened to Jenny Hutt's intro this morning and she said "while I'm filling in in the mornings." So, maybe they do have other plans to fill that time slot. It also sorta sounded like Taylor could have left on her own??? That along with her manager Matt's comments on IG make me think she might have something else in the works.

who posted this?!?! That certainly isnt the first time that she has talked about this, she has repeated that story a thousand times... I highly doubt that is it.

kbk88 · 10/16/2017 8:10 pm

I know a lot of people are talking about podcasts. I'm a big podcast listener and it's very tough to make a significant amount of money (like, enough to live off) from a podcast. If she joined a podcast network she could make some money but she'd for sure need other (relatively significant) income streams as well.

LilEffer · 10/16/2017 8:16 pm

I wonder if she is bound to a noncompete clause that covers podcasts for a certain period of time.

Siriusnj · 10/16/2017 8:18 pm

She has no real skills. What is she going to do?

So, I have read every post on this board, probably from day one, but never registered and never posted. I am a WUWT fan from the beginning, almost always on demand. Since it is over now, I don’t know why I decided today is the day to comment, but whatever. This is what I think happened.

Sirius got annoyed with her always plugging her Younger aftershow on Sirius airtime. Then complaining about how tired she was the day after the show on WUWT. Remember when Kenny would plug his shows and for awhile had to do the 7 things first so he could “earn” the right to plug his comedy shows? So I think they were already annoyed. I even think maybe Sirius had a conversation with her about plugging these outside jobs during Sirius air time, all the time. So then, when she talked about this hair brained half-assed idea of getting people to email her the credit card information (the most unprofessional crazy thing ever!) Sirius just could not risk their name being associated with the disaster that will come of it that they had to let her go. So when she said that she won’t do something without asking Katie first, it might be a joke about the conversation. I can even imagine the Sirius execs saying, “If you are ever in doubt if something is a conflict of interest, ask Katie about it first and she will let you know.” So all of that combined, with possible low numbers, and the fact that all she does is repeat the same stories and invite people on to get free services and/or food, Sirius said enough is enough and fired her.
