Today's show tension? (4/19)

[KingLlama]

From what I hear, you're to blame for Michael Strahan ditching Kelly Ripa.

Don't believe anything unless you hear it DIRECTLY from me, and only after you've given me time to get my story straight.

Seriously. We all saw Bob give Kelly her fancy "25 years with the company" statue a few weeks ago, and that's definitely the cause of this whole situation. Definitely @KingLlama's fault.

Do your best to convince Regis to break away from those infomercials....

Wow...and to think I thought the biggest issue with the show was how mine kept freezing and then acting like a bad Max Headroom video.

Oliver was great on the show today. It's not easy coming into this and being on live for the first time and not only did he 'hold his own' but he presented himself very well.

I really echo this! There were a few times where he was quiet as I am sure he is still finding his footing but other times he jumped right in there and played along with the banter that good friends tend to have with each other

I don't know if there was tension but I do think there was some awkwardness towards the end with the top trip planning threads. Just my take.

I find those segments to be very enjoyable I think based on the attitude/style of those involved (but it could be seen as awkward):

"So Jackie, is the number one post going to be your post again?" Jackie (in her ever positive and loving way): "You guys are so silly!"

For the record, Bob Iger made this comment from the 9th tee box of The Magnolia while deciding between his driver or 3 wood.

and by "get to the bottom of this" - he was referring to his double pour of 25 year old scotch

Totally this!! So awkward but so funny at the same time. I admit to loving a snarky attitude and gravitate to those people. But I appreciate that Jackie can keep her positivity in the face of it. I don't generally care for the "always happy" people but thank goodness there are those out there to even out the snarky cynics like me. Let's keep the yin and yang, however cringeworthy

Didn't sense the slightest tension during last week's show. Seemed like everyone was giving Oliver some light-hearted initiation ribbing. And Oliver had some zingers... laughed out loud at his Minnie Mouse "letting herself go" line. But shame on Pete for giving a foreigner with a fantastic accent a job that should have gone to a good ol' American boy!

If there was one problem with the show it's the "top threads" segment. Jackie is a sweetheart, but that segment is always so boring. No one even chimes in anymore, and even Pete seems like he wants it to move along.

We're gonna build a wall around the DIS and Jim Hill is gonna pay for it!

I agree with this. The segment tends to drag. You noted that no one chimes in, and I've also gotten that impression that no one at the table is really listening. I'd be ok retiring this segment and maybe bringing it back at the end of the year, for the top thread of the year deal.

I loved the show. And I loved Oliver! And I am loving this thread - I'm sorry, but there were several times I snorted at my desk at work while reading the responses. Think I fall in the "snark lover" category. Hey, I'm going to put that on a bumper sticker! How about "I brake for snark lovers!" No? Anyone? Oh well...

I find that hard to believe. Pretty sure he has someone to make those kinds of decisions for him. One of the little people.

I think what actually happens is, someone hands him a dart and he throws it at a spinning wheel that has a bunch of options on it.

But geez Jes, you'd think we'd have even BETTER odds with this method!
