Congratulations, Sean Hannity, on a Cable News Milestone

22 Apr 2022

CLAY: Do you know that Sean Hannity has now been on air 25 years at Fox News, and that is the longest running cable news host in the…? I don’t know that anybody will ever beat that number because it’s so hard to get to, you know, five years of doing a successful show. He hit 25 years yesterday. It’s a new all-time high in terms of length of time that somebody’s been on cable news.

BUCK: That’s amazing. I was a sophomore in high school, 25.

CLAY: Yeah. So when he started I was… Yeah, I was in —

BUCK: Yeah, you were in postgrad studies, getting your PhD.

CLAY: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Twenty-five years ago, I was just… I saw that yesterday, and I was thinking, I don’t even know who you would point to now — Maddow tapped out after a few years. She’s not doing a nightly show anymore. Rush went over 30 years on radio. But that longevity is pretty impressive.

Then you look, and kind of we’re talking about how crazy Keith Olbermann is, but some of these people they truly get driven insane. I legitimately believe that Keith Olbermann is insane now. That’s not even hyperbole for me. I think that he has lost his marbles. I think that he is almost unable to think rationally as an adult.

BUCK: Yeah, I think when your entire life just becomes your brand and self-obsession, you lose touch with a lot of things that make us all normal and people able to understand and connect with others on a level beyond “What are my ratings?”
