Bert Weiss, the lead on the Bert Show, laid out a bombshell Tuesday morning: he had to let go Davi Crimmins, who has been a full-time cast member since 2018 after several years as a producer.
He announced the news on air but didn’t say specifically why beyond vague issues with chemistry with other radio team members off the air. The Bert Show is syndicated in 23 markets including Nashville, Tennessee; Kansas City, Missouri; and Des Moines, Iowa, and is shot out of Q99.7 studios in Atlanta.
“For reasons I cannot detail on the show, this is the move I painstakingly chose to make,” Weiss said Tuesday on the show. “Some of you guys will get it twisted and assume that Davi must have been the problem. I assure you with all sincerity that is simply not the truth. In my eyes, the spirit of a studio is defined by all its members so this is not just a Davi issue and that’s why she’s not here anymore... We all have a responsibility in this.”
