I try to listen to him, but the show really does not work for me. There is just something missing.
 
Guests aren't on long enough and he doesn't actually listen and react to callers!

People will call in, make a statement or ask a question and he says "thanks for that call, let's go to Jimmy in Hoboken next". That's what's missing for me, the TV pacing and the lack of real interaction with the callers.

To me that's an old school approach to talk radio...pre-Rush...where everyone gets a chance to say their thing, and move on to the next caller. The bad news about that is that the radio audience today is motivated by confrontation. So it sounds very dull today.
 
I'd say Bob Grant and even Long John Nebel invented the more confrontational form of taking callers. Rush usually lets them go on way too long, and most of the time they're agreeing with him.

There was nothing quite like when someone got on the wrong side of Grant!

If you want a laugh, Google Long John Nebel pranks... he gets so mad it's hilarious!!!
