He was excellent. More of him and never hearing LJ again would be even better. They have Tony Mazz., Buck, McAdam, Rob Bradford, Bill Burt, Steve Burton, Paul Perrilo, Tom Curran, Tom Caron, and now Lou Merloni. Why should LJ ever be on again?
I know that the show is extremely successful, but I think the three man format is an improvement. There's a lot less yelling and talking over one another. When Ordway returns, they should consider having only one guest host. Either that or limit Sheppard's role. Sometimes there are five people (including the caller) talking at once.
