could chad zumocks 2nd DUI cause some stability issues on the ACS?
- Thread starter dasfonzie

I wouldn't think it would be as big of a deal on that type of show as it would be on a Lannigan or Triv type of show....or with a television newscast personality. Not to belittle the charge, driving drunk is DEFINITELY a serious thing, but I'd wager that half the Alan Cox audience has probably been pinched for a DUI (not me included, for the record). Its a real shame though, driving so drunk that you hit a tree, hopefully he learns from this experience, lucky it was just a tree and not a person that he hit.
I can see Clear Channel dumping him. They usually don't tolerate this stuff.
No big surprise. He crashed a sponsor's car. Clear Channel says his contract was up and that was their out. I think he needs to seek some serious help. It is obvious he has drinking issues. Joking around about drinking and driving is not cool. Hopefully he learns there are better things in life than the bottle.
What a smuck. He lucked it in to the gig of a life time and blew it. What's funny is he talked on air all the time about getting totally hammered and sometimes waking up in strange places. One time he said he had trouble finding his car after a night of getting plastered, so I'm sure this wasn't a one time incident. Alan Cox isn't much better thought. He rips on people for DUI, but says he gets baked and drives all of the time.

The Alan Cox Show has been sounding very different and strange since Chad was let go. A lot of people on social media are calling for him to come back. Some even use Lanigan and Rover's co-hosts as examples of those who are still on the air after headline-making events.
Meanwhile, the show is auditioning co-hosts again similar to when Alan first signed on locally. I'm not too sure if the local comics who are still close to Chad would want to audition. I do think the show is missing something when its just Alan and Erika Lauren together.

He is not coming back so all those people wanting him to come back or are signing petitions are wasting their time. Chad blew it with his own personal irresponsibility. Hope the guy gets some help for his drinking issues.

People think he'll be back must not know Clear Channel very well. They fired Jim Krenn in Pittsburgh after 24 years of service for no reason whatsoever. He was a Pittsburgh legend. If they'll do something that low, I doubt they'll give yet another chance to a co-host who smashed up the sponsors car while drunk.
BTW, Alan Cox hinted on the show last Wednesday that it was not that single incident that got Zumock fired. More of a last straw.

Another local comic.
The show is fine when it's just Alan & Erika, IMO.

Great another in the line of unfunny comics from Cleveland. I know tastes vary among people but the local comics around here are just not funny at all.
Jimmy Malone is a good guy. I like him. How many years ago was that though? As far as Chuck Booms he is not funny at all, he complains all the time on the air and no matter what the Browns do it is wrong. Very boring to listen too because I think Kevin Kiley actually brings a fair perspective to the show.
Comedy is obviously subjective, but it's tough to call someone "unfunny" when they were a national headlining comedian and getting national television reps based on their comedy. You should probably amend your statement to include "to me" after the not funny part. There are people that don't find Louis CK funny, does that mean they're not funny? Chuck is not for everyone (heck, I'm not a huge fan), but you have to respect someone who could do it nationally. There are plenty of local comics who never could get that kind of exposure.
And Chuck is boring? I've heard plenty of ways to describe him and that one is a first. Childish? Silly? Petulant? Whining? Grating? Negative? Indecent?
I've seen some of those, but never boring.

Really? Of course, you've seen everyone local comic perform, right? So you're an expert? Because Mike Polk Jr. is so unsuccessful after all. How can EVERY comic in the Cleveland area be unfunny? What an awful blanket statement. Bill Squire is a touring headliner, but I guess that doesn't matter either... Because he's from Cleveland he's unfunny to you
There is this other guy I have heard of from Cleveland. A real up and comer. His name is Drew Carey.
