Larry Kudlow wasn't just a CNBC host. He also hosted a radio show. What will happen to that? Tom Taylor's NOW column tackles the subject...
Talk radio host Larry Kudlow joins the Trump team as an economic advisor. How about his Saturday syndicated radio show? Westwood One tells this NOW Newsletter that Kudlow will do his show live this weekend - and we'll see what happens after that. The talk community’s been split on whether Trump attorney Jay Sekulow should continue hosting his radio show. (He kept it.) Now Kudlow – an old friend of Trump’s whom he watches on CNBC – faces a similar question. He’s anchored various radio shows for years, including his current one for Westwood. It’s subtitled “Where money meets politics,” and airs 10am-1pm Eastern time. Kudlow’s new title is “Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and Director of the National Economic Council.” He succeeds Gary Cohn. Kudlow told CNBC yesterday “I’m honored to take this position” – and does indicate that he’ll leave the talent-roster there.
Trump is also talking about installing a Fox & Friends host as the new VA director (not kidding). You know, as long as he's naming media types to government jobs anyway, let's get Rush and Hannity off the air too. I think Rush would be a great ambassador to Brazil. And Hannity can be our spokesperson to the Far East. America would be a better place overnight. Oh, and put Tucker Carlson in the overhead bin on Hannity's flight to Hong Kong. What's the worst that can happen? (See story below)
