For the latest 7 a.m. Eastern ratings book, ESPN's absurdly expensive morning program Get Up finished dead last -- 109th out of 109 programs -- with a net viewership of less than one person watching, per thousand counted. That equates to a 0.09 rating.

Just in case anyone is wondering, Mike Greenberg is making $6.5 million per year for this show, while co-hosts Michelle Beadle nets $5 million, and Jalen Rose pulls in $3 million. Now that's how you win at broadcasting.

Is ESPN trying to fail this badly?

I don't know what ESPN was thinking. Greenie's schtick has been old and stale for a while now. That show never had any hope.

Talk about being WAY overpaid.....

Greenberg hasn’t done anything at ESPN to earn a million a year.... he is horrible.....

That show is so bad that I intentionally turn my TV off ESPN at night if I'm watching late sports. Just so they don't get to count me as a "viewer" the following morning.

I think it was supposed to be a "Today show" for dudes. Obviously it has failed at that endeavor.

What did they think would happen? They took the most annoying Mike (which is saying something) from Mike and Mike and gave him a show.

Fire all of them and save the money. As Branch Rickey said to Ralph Kiner, "We can finish last without you".

Mike Greenberg just isn't interesting or controversial enough to build a show around.

He can give you twenty unscripted minutes on Caprese Salad if you need to fill time on air.

That's the only remotely positive thing I can say about him.

Greenie plays his role well. Beadle is the yoga wife, Jalen is the bull and Greenberg is of course the cuckold. ESPN has been very clear on their vision for their programming

I watched this past week. I really like Maria Taylor and Jay Williams on there. I hope they consider some type of change because Jalen is not good...at all. Beadle is ok
