I haven't been listening and don't know who Carly is.  So, what do I do?  Go to the Wake Up Facebook page for the big announcement with her photo and background!  Hahaha!  

No announcement about the new cohost on any social media. What exactly does her "team" do?

Carly and Taylor are hilarious together! Great choice!!!

I too  have liked the male female dynamic but am just as happy. maybe clay aiken and others will sit in/fill in as needed and it'll feel like an ice cream sunday with a cherry on top.  thru it all, I think tay has done well with the ever-spinning rotations and I'm sure she's glad it's over

I guess it's only 1 day a week, so maybe the hints of Rob and Lori being regulars is not false. I guess it will be a few co hosts rotating.
It's Carly Aqulino who was on MTV's Girl Code.

Yes there was an official announcement at 8. I agree that out of the women she was towards the top. I still prefer the male/female dynamic though. Oh well. It's not a deal breaker for me and I've actually enjoyed the show more lately.

HOWEVER...at the beginning of the 3rd hour...(cue the "duh, duh, duh" music!) one of them said, "She's officially here one day per week."  Huh?? Which is it?? So...I'm still holding out hope that we will get a dose of Rob and Clay because after today, I've decided (obviously, my opinion only!) that Carly is just a little Taylor clone with Katie's voice. While she's been funnier than any other comedian in the past, all they did the entire show is bash Trump (same opinion), smack food (same smacking), and Carly stuck up for Taylor in every situation (ok, both times) that a caller disagreed with Taylor's opinion. I can't even fathom 5 x week of that..at least challenge her a teeny bit so we have both sides of stuff! (And I will give her more time...however, she's been in already HOW many times as a guest host???)
As for today's show in general...a big fat UGH. More talking about the SILs sex photos, VMA dress, and politics...

<FWIW: I didn't/don't support Trump, but I also didn't support Hillary. Taylor, please stop telling the listeners/Americans who did support Trump to, "shut the hell up...you won" when all that is on the news are people from Hollywood crying about not getting their way. Looking back, maybe voting for him was a way to get back at the Hollywood elite for many people...is it too late to change my vote? Oh, that's right...according to Taylor, no matter who you are, you need to shut up, because he won.>   
(I know what you're going to say...before you yell at me...just stop listening.)  

I don't really have a dog in this fight since I pretty much stopped listening (I usually catch 10-15 min on my way to work) but I think it's better w/ a male cohost and def someone who will challenge T's outlandish statements. Btw I thought that was Katie talking today too, it's crazy how similar their voices are! I was really hoping someone would call in this morning and call her out on not voting since almost the entire segment I heard was all about Trump!

Listening to second hour from yesterday...Anyone else sick of all of the Trump stories, talk on the show? I know it's relevant bc it's in the news but it's something with how she delivers it. Let's move on.

Due to the fact she didn't bother to vote, she really needs to keep her mouth shut. She should  be called out on this. She's a scam who is full of sh** Most of the time she has no idea what she's talking about. She's as good as the last person she talked to. This is why I don't listen anymore. From what I've read, this new girl isn't going to change that.

Not that she'll read it, someone called her out on FB for not voting though 😂

I haven't listened in forever, is Matt still around? Nothing seems to be happening with the website and the blog posts are all about 2 lines long.

 
Ha! That's awesome. And I've been wondering the same- very little mention of Matt on the show.

He was in the studio just the other day. They were talking about the POTUS twitter, and Matt was saying that Obama had a special sign off for the tweets that came from him personally.

Oh yes, he's still there. She's talked about using his car to drive to Philly. He's not going anywhere unless he finally figures out her game. cause she's got a good thing going with him. His dad has the house in the Hamptons she can go to; she can get into concerts in the front row; I'm sure it was daddy's connections that helped get the first red carpet interviews where she played "High Five a Celebrity" and I am still not convinced it was a random application for the VMA's that got her on the red carpet. He's her "Jr. Sugar Daddy" right now. Trump supporter or not. I don't think he's sitting in the studio and/or driving her to work daily like he was at one point (she's talked a few more times about Uber recently it seems like) but he's still there.

I honestly think he's not been good for her. Before him, she was trying out new things (i.e. Dining Under, regular, more meaningful blogs, etc.). I feel like he sold her on him because he is a fan and just kisses her ass instead of hustling for her career. I think he was more interested in being her buddy than really managing her. And tay bought into it and is now doing weird interviews with random journalists instead of promoting HER brand.

Not sure if this is the exact one, it was along these lines though

Yes, and really, has there been any activity lately?  Seems like late-Summer was the last of even those bizarre and really unhelpful "news" stories.  Not sure if it's manager or client but either way, doesn't seem to be working.  

I haven't been able to listen in a while..has the show been live at all? My dumb Sirius app wasn't working today.
