Legit! I can see the others as things weren't great towards the end, but he didn't just decide to pack up his family this weekend and move them. One show is not enough to say good-bye

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I need Mr. Mans on the show!!!!!!!!!! But good for him and his family. Boo. I have been listening to him since he was on the radio in Charleston, SC

Does anyone feel like this is the nail in WUWT coffin? I am pretty sure they struggle with ratings to begin with and this might be enough for a lot of people to just give up. I like Taylor but I liked that Kenny brought her down to earth (at least a while ago). I think he's been checked out for sometime. But I fully believe you do what you need to once you have kids and being near family is invaluable.

Kudos to golden shower for first suggesting this...very impressive! I was skeptical at first. So sad it's true.

BathiesTime · 7/21/2016 9:05 am

We seriously call everything! Spot on with everything we speculate about! Not happy about being right this time, but whatever is best for their family. Poor Kenny will be so displaced... I wonder if he will like suburb living...?

DontDoItGal · 7/21/2016 9:06 am

It's the end of an era. I'm so sad.

So much change! I can't handle itttttttttt

Can someone fill us in on why since on demand won't be up for a while?????

Don'tEverGoToTheBeach · 7/21/2016 9:07 am

It sounds to me like he might be a stay at home dad now? Taylor kept saying she's so proud of how good of a father he is.

A couple of comments already on FB about people cancelling Sirius.

I think depending on the new co-host, this will be a turning point for the show. Either awesome or over, it can't keep up the way it has been.

This was my exact thought! I hate that they tell us at the last minute.

That's a good point. He could still do comedy and travel on weekends but get rid of nanny pay and you can probably survive on one income especially if family can help Chelsea on weekends when Kenny is away. That's how I manage my "work" and stay at home.

Virginia · 7/21/2016 9:11 am

I'm so sad. There's been WAY too much change lately. Kenny was my favorite part of the show. One day is definitely not enough to say goodbye.

Husbandpillow · 7/21/2016 9:15 am

Oh no, I'll miss Kenny. I just can't imagine moving from NYC/Brooklyn to Pittsburgh. Good god, I would be SO friggin' depressed. Hope he likes it there...eeeek.

MrsGreen · 7/21/2016 9:15 am

Did they discuss how the show will be now? New co-host?

True, good point!

squadleader · 7/21/2016 9:30 am

I wonder who the common denominator might be with everyone who has left the show in the past

What will his best buddy, Greg, do without him??

Red replaced Taylor's announcement with that. So sad.

BathiesTime · 7/21/2016 9:38 am

I think I am going to end up listening to old shows on Twitter, rather than the new show, and just keep an eye on this board to see if I should ever go back and listen.

GoldenShower · 7/21/2016 9:43 am

Aww man, I didn't want to be right. I wonder about the future of the show now, she definitely needs another male to balance her out, or a strong female like Victoria. She cannot have another one of these high energy, squealing girls (or RV) or else the show will be un-listenable. She's too competitive with other females.

DestinationAwesometown · 7/21/2016 9:44 am

Wake Up will never be the same. I'm going to go stab myself in heart now.

Husbandpillow · 7/21/2016 9:45 am

I'm interested to hear exactly why they're moving? Is it b/c Pittsburgh is affordable? Does Chelsea miss it? So many questions...

100% agreed.

To be fair, I think Chelsea moves to NYC (via Connectict) to be closer to Kenny. So it might just be time for him to return the favor and move for her.

My theory... I'm sure being near Chelsea's family has a lot to do with the move. the recent nanny incidents would be enough to make most parents reconsider their priorities. Kenny travels so much on weekends, it will be amazing for Chelsea and Duke to have family nearby. Maybe Kenny got one of those gigs writing scripts for SnapChat shows that he said his friends were doing.

Plus, cost of living is much less in Pitt compared to Brooklyn.

TOKYO · 7/21/2016 10:06 am

These Pittsburghers ALWAYS come back. I moved here 2.5 years ago and it seriously was so hard to make friends. I also work from home so that adds another component. I met a ton of people at networking events and the gym and stuff, but no one needs a new girl in their group. All these SQUADS (lol) go back to at least high school - some of these people have been friends since preschool - I'm serious. I'm friends with a bunch of girls who are all transplants like me & didn't grow up here. But most people who grow up here seem to leave for college (maybe) then come back and start their life.

Kenny will have an instant crew though through his in-laws and their friends I'm sure. Cost of living is so much lower and he'll still be within driving distance to NYC - he and friends like Greg won't have to take a flight to visit but it won't be the same. Moving is always such a major adjustment.

Feminist Hero · 7/21/2016 10:07 am

Aw man, this sucks. I wish he could have stayed on in some capacity and worked remotely. I really hope we hear tomorrow that he will be doing a podcast or something.
