What happens to Rush's radio show after he gets his wings?

Is there anyone who can fill that seat?

Only guy I can think of is Tucker, but he's not leaving his gig to do three hours on the radio.

Does the show just end?

Meh. I love Steyn, but I view him mostly as a political comedian. I don't see 15 million people tuning in every day to listen to his schtick.

It might depend on exposure. I have no idea how many people Tucker reaches on his show vs Limbaugh. And it wouldn't have to be 3 hours; that's an outlier and very few people can pull it off. Trim it back to two.

I say all that as somebody who's rarely in the car during that time period so I don't listen that frequently, so I may not know what I'm talking about.

I dunno. I think a relative of Paul Harvey tried keeping that going but it faded out.

It is a personality-driven show.

Gotta think that's Mark Steyn's gig if he wants it. Exalted mortals are nearly impossible to follow.

Buck would be a great choice. I used to listen to him when he had a Saturday show on the blaze. He's grown a ton since then.

Tucker would be my 1st choice. The added exposure could definitely help him reach millions.

A combination of Sexton and Stein would be the best. No one can replace Rush but I could see these 2 keeping it going for a bit.

After Trump’s second term he should merge his newly formed media company with EIB

I mean, yes, it's the Rush Limbaugh show. After he retires or dies the show does sort of just end. Even if they get a replacement for him, it's just another radio show at that point, it's not Rush's show.

Everything, good or bad, eventually ends. Rush will always be a legend.

Couldn't listen.

After 15 or 20 seconds I usually feel inclined to ram icepicks in both ears.

No. He takes 100 words to express a 20 word thought.
