Stephanie Miller

[peaches2003]

Don't flame me, please, but am I the only one who just cannot stand SM? I have been listening on a regular basis for several weeks now on XM just to see if I could learn to appreciate her show, but truly I think it is a complete waste of time. Her non-stop comedy routine is now wearing on my last nerve. :silly:

[seemslikeadream]

1. I love her

can't get enough

[Johonny]

21. same

I handle non-stop political ranting before noon. She gives me 30 seconds of Glenn Beck and turns it into 30 minutes of humor. It's like magic.

[SteppingRazor]

2. My favorite talk radio host, actually.

To each his own, I suppose. Of course, since our local left-talk station became a sports talk station a week ago, it's not as though my opinion matters for much. x(

[NightWatcher]

3. I stream KPOJ's local morning talk (Hartmann's station and local show) instead of Steph

I listen to her when I drive on XM, but if I have the choice, I'd rather listen to something else.

[librechik]

4. lots of people find her hard to take

just nobody around here.

Try listening to Lionel instead, on AirAmerica.. Everybody here hates him, so you might like him.

Different strokes.

[peaches2003]

24. Lionel is a LOT WORSE than Stephanie!

[lunatica]

5. The mooks make me laugh quite a bit

I listen on my way to work and it starts my day off in the right mood.

[Larkspur]

6. Stephanie is my favorite talk show radio host

Thom Hartmann is a close 2nd. Love listening to the 2 back-to-back.

Lionel is the worse progressive talk show radio host. Can't stand him and turn him off as soon as he comes on.

[ShortnFiery]

14. We are of like mind. Have to hear Stephanie and Thom before any other radio host.

:hi:

[The Gunslinger]

33. They are my two favorites

Total opposites, but both great shows.

[driver8]

7. I like Stephanie and Jim, but I cannot stand that guy, Chris.

Every time he opens his mouth, it is like nails on a chalk board to me.

[smokey nj]

8. I think Steph and the Mooks are funny. Some of the sound effects, however, do get on my

nerves a bit. I prefer the comedy styles of Sam Seder and Marc Maron (I absolutely ADORED Morning Sedition), but Stephanie is ok as well.

[seemslikeadream]

29. Are you upset cause Mike doesn't have sound effects like Steph?

:hi: :rofl:

[TuxedoKat]

9. I like her

but the non-stop comedy gets tiresome for me too sometimes. I think I first heard her back in the early '90s out in CA, when I was visiting at the time and I wondered who is this smart, funny liberal woman? Does anyone know if she had a local program out there back then?

[tishaLA]

27. she was on KABC when I moved here in 1999

I think she'd had that spot for a few years. I liked her then and I like her now.

[TuxedoKat]

35. It must have been

her then -- it was in the San Francisco area that I heard her. I'd never heard anyone like her before - so funny but super smart too and not missing a beat. I'm glad she is on nationally now.

[itsrobert]

10. She's a drive time personality

At least in her primary market in L.A. These programs operate on a morning zoo format, because most people listening are in and out of their cars and they only have a few minutes to grab their audience. A little comedy has worked best in the morning.

[Botany]

11. "Her non-stop comedy ..... "

Hint she is a comedian and it is mostly a comedy driven show.

[Raine1967]

12. Love her!

I like being able to wake up in the morning and have a little laugh before the rest of the news sinks in each day.

[ruggerson]

13. I like her humor but I believe she's dishonest

so I don't respect her.

[ShortnFiery]

15. What the .... FOX!

:evilgrin: Nobody is 100% genuine. We're not even totally real with our significant others. Damn EGO! ;)

[ruggerson]

17. true

but I think she goes out of her way to misrepresent herself. Which on a political talk show is pretty shady.

[Botany]

18. How dose she mis-represent herself?

And does not she have a right to a private life?

[bullwinkle428]

20. Can you elaborate on how she misrepresents herself?

No snark, I'm just curious, as I've been a big fan for a while...

[seemslikeadream]

32. What the.....What the......What the.....FOX!

Can't get enough of the Beaver stats

[The Gunslinger]

31. examples........

[lordsummerisle]

16. One of my favorites

she is a comedienne after all, hence the comedy routine.
The sound effects get a little old, and some of the Jim Ward bits need to be refreshed more often, but I applaud anyone who can make me laugh...

[TexasObserver]

19. I like her on news shows, but don't listen to her on the radio.

I'm just not a radio listener.

[ellacott]

22. I love Stephanie but...

What is a mook? Why do they call themselves that?

[AllieB]

30. The first time I heard the term 'mook' was in Scorcese's 'Mean Streets'.

I have no idea why they call themselves that.

[JSK]

23. She's a comedian

She was one long before she was a "political" talk-show host. Daughter of VP candidate or not.

[20score]

25. I think she's great. I'm really surprised to read this.

No flaming, but I am surprised.

[AllieB]

26. Laughing my ass off right now because of her 'Gerry in Chicagi' montage.

:rofl:

[The Gunslinger]

28. Im a big fan of the show

[peaches2003]

34. Just so you don't think I don't like anybody-

I don't like Steph and Lionel, but do love Thom Hartman (listen to him everyday), loved Morning Sedition and wish Marc Maron would get back on the radio on XM permanently, enjoy Ed Schultz on radio and his new MSNBC show (which may not be popular here) and Mike Malloy of course. Loved Rachel on Air America and now watch her and Keith on tv every night. I pretty much have XM talk shows on all day and half the night in addition to tv political talk shows. I just find Steph too silly for my tastes.
