Is Bob Levy's Fuck Up Worse Than Jackie's?

    Rhetorical question - the answer is yes.

    Just Googled "Bob Levy Twitter". Found http://twitter.com/#!/therevboblevy.

    Holy shit, it's hard to find something nice to say. At least he's still alive. Good for him!

    Jackie gave up millions of dollars and would still be in the mainstream like Artie is..Bob gave up Co-hosting Miserable Men starring Shuli and making $500 a week.

    Jackie would have easily made 25 million in the last decade.
    I think Bob's best year was 20k.

    Bob did Miserable Men for free for the first couple of years, after that he was given the princely sum of 100/wk.

    Quitting a $100/wk job is not a fuck up.

    Bob deserves an attaboy, not our scorn.

    I hate how most of the sheep fans have given Howard a pass for turning into (probably always was) the jerk that he claims Johnny Carson, Leno and Imus were.

    Kiss the ring/work for free/kiss the ring/work for free/kiss the ring/work for free... or I'll ruin you. Meanwhile I'll be squeezing every last dime out of Sirius while i bite the hand that feeds me...because I don't kiss the ring or work for free.

    Bob spoke in his opinion a truth. A drug fuelled imprudent to broadcast truth, but a truth. Isn't that we claim to want- raw honesty? Because we sure aren't getting much funny. No funny, no honesty, let the revolution begin.

    It's a fuck-up when the job gave you access to the Stern show and Stern audience. Nothing beats Jackie's fuck-up though.

    Sad thing is Howard could do nothing about getting his guys like Bubba and Ferrall more money because Sirius/XM wants to invest in Jamie Fox doing his 1/2 hour show a month for millions of dollars.But I wonder why these idiots like Levy and Riley Martin don't get it that their 1 hour a week show is just a format to get them to promote whatever they want.If Bob wanted money then get a real radio job and work your way up just like Bubba and Howard and even O&A.

    Levy should thank Howard every day for giving him all that exposure. The guy has no talent.

    What Happened was that Howard didn't like the excessive length of the plugs at the end of his show. He thought some people were taking advantage. Howard also mentioned Ronnie, Scott and Chuck Zito's plugs as being too long.
    Here's a transcript of the plug:

    "See the Reverend Bob Levy, Shuli, Beetlejuice, Jim Florentine and Colin Quinn Friday, September 18th at The Comedy Connection, Chickapee, Mass. Call (413) 593-5222 for tickets. And see the same show Saturday, September 19th at the Wilbur Theater, Boston Mass. Call (617) 248-9700, or go to Revboblevy.com for tickets. See Bob Levy and company Friday, September 25th at the Grove of Anaheim. Go to Clean Box entertainment.com or Revboblevy.com for info. See Bob Levy and Shuli Saturday, October 3rd at the Tree house Comedy Club at the Holiday Inn, Danbury Connecticut. Call (203) 702-7577."

    OK, that's a long plug. But you know what? It doesn't matter what I think. It matters what Howard thinks. If Howard thinks your plug, that he gives to you for free, is too long, you should shorten it. Period.
    Rev Bob didn't do that. He got butt-hurt and blew up at Howard, when all he had to do was shorten his plug.
    Suppose you owned a store and you allowed friends of yours to post signs in your window advertising their businesses. Most people put 8 1/2" by 11" posters up, but a few guys put up these elaborate, ugly 3-foot by 3-foot placards. You ask the guys to put up more reasonably sized posters. Everyone says OK, except for one guy, who starts cussing you out in front of your customers. How do you react?
    I'd throw him out of the store and tell him never to come back.

    Levy is a talentless hack who should thank God every day that he had any kind of career ever.

    Jackie had a career going and he blew it bob on the other hand I think his career never wen't anywhere, I really liked him on the miserable men, and you tell over the years he was getting screwed and not going anywhere. I always hate when people would say "wow bobs an idiot" yeah moron thats the joke. I wish bob the best.

    Saw Levy with the killers and he wasn't that funny. Sal killed - Howard needs to let Sal on more. Beatle was in a bad mood and wouldn't let me take a picture with him.
  21. Mama-looka Full Member

    Which Beatle?

    I know it wasn't John or George...

    Levy's a disc jockey now. I think he's doing better than Jackie.

    I think Bob's is bigger and here's why. Jackie may have lost the motherload from a money perspective. But he can still go out there as a guy that used to be on the Howard Stern Show and people would recognize the name. Now Rev Bob was nothing but a short blip on the radar, finding most of his notoriety during his Miserable Men show...a show that was on pay satellite radio. Jackie reached many more people in many more markets over the years.
  24. Cap420 Full Member

    Levy should of quit doing miserable men if he felt he was being underpaid. It's sirius though- everyone except the "stars" are underpaid,...they're "thrown bones" and "work for plugs" etc. I think he should of kept things good with Howard and simply went off and did his own thing radio wise like Kidd Chris, while still keeping in contact with the show, making occasional appearances, etc. . I think Bob fucked up in the sense that he said fuck the show, fuck Howard- fuck everything and everyone. With wiping all that shit out- Bob gave up probably the #1 thing that kept him relevant- his almost constant presence on the show/channels. Stupid, really, but you can't really fault the guy for making what he felt was the best thing to do. I remember reading he also went off on Howard for the way Artie was treated...so there was probably more to him leaving the show then money. Hopefully he's still doing shows and stuff. I've seen him a bunch of times live over the years and his shows are always a good time, and he's a super nice and friendly guy.

    Jackie had some good high paying years on the show and has managed to continue to support himself to this day with all the money he made in his hey day, despite not presently having a high paying gig. Levy obviously isn't as "well off" as Jackie. Bobs main goal is to get people to show up to his stand up shows. He cut all ties to the show, which also cut ties to his doing shows with guys like Shuli, etc. In the end, I think Bob fucked up worse then Jackie, because he was effected by his decision far greater then Jackie was in every aspect...money, notoriety, putting asses in seats, etc.

    His leaving the show has really left him Cabbie like. Almost forgotten about sadly.
