Kevin Marshall's America
:(
CNN has cancelled Eliot Spitzer’s “In the Arena“, which was formerly “Parker/Spitzer” until co-host Kathleen Parker turned to him one day and said “wait, you’re that Eliot Spitzer?”
At first, the show was successful in repairing the public image of the shamed former NY Governor, but backstage squabbling led to the eventual departure of his co-host along with the forty-two people that were still watching. When word leaked that Parker had “stormed off” the set, Spitzer’s rep behind the scenes and in trades took a hit.
It’s unfortunate, because just recently I had come up with a list of suggestions for producers to improve the show:
- Change the theme song to “Steamroller” by James Taylor
- Go all the way with the “In the Arena” theme, modeling the set after the Roman Coliseum and forcing Spitzer to dress as a gladiator, complete with a visor that he would lift every time the show returned from commercial break.
- Along those same lines, he would start each segment with “and now, we honor our Empire!” and ending each broadcast with “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!”
- An intimate one-on-one interview segment accompanied by sexy sax music called “Socks On.”
- A segment where Eliot calls Jim Tedisco and leaves him threatening voicemails.
Man. I’m in the wrong business.

Good! He’s always tried to redeem himself in the public’e eye. Still can’t understand how he got away w/his ‘shell’ company he used to funnel $$$$$$$$ for prostitutes…wouldn’t you/I still be in jail. His wife, Silda, shoulda left him. But then again, having servants @ your every whim, etc. is the REAL deal! Good luck Eliot, just don’t run for public office anymore. This dem certainly won’t support you as I did so many times before.

How about taking viewer phone calls ….that would have liven up the show….” now on the line Kevin Marshall from Albany”
What a shock. Never would have seen this coming.
I have never watched it (a promise I made to myself). Unlike Eliot, I keep my promises.
cohost Kathleen Spitzer? did you mean Parker?
and for anyone who ever watched that show – I don’t care what party affiliation you have – it was just plain horrible
He looks like a Keebler elf to me and I just can’t get past that. Unless he’s baking cookies in a tree, he has no business being on my TV.
what a bruise his poor horrible humongous ego must be suffering!
@1- “This dem certainly won’t support you as I did so many times before.”
Yeah right! If he becomes a Democratic nominee for anything, you’ll vote for him. No way would you take the chance of a Republican winning.
