Osama To Replace Roth in Some Markets
(FiniteTimes.com) – CBS executives have admitted that they are in talks with shock jock extraordinaire Osama bin Laden to cover some of the slots made available by David Lee Roth’s sudden departure from the airwaves last week.
“We are currently negotiating with his people,” said an anonymous CBS source. “Since he essentially pulled himself out of the Katie Couric/Today show race, he’s been fair game.
“He’s no Howard Stern, but he’s a hell of a lot less annoying than David Lee Roth,” the source added.
With over a dozen demo tapes released to various media outlets over the past several years — the most recent this past weekend — bin Laden has proven that he has lost little of his edge from the days he used to taunt Soviet troops on the CIA-backed station KBUL as Yomama Osama. His career as a shock jock came to an abrupt halt in September of 2001 when an on-air stunt involving several airplanes went horribly wrong.
