Internet fuckup and TNT’s very own shitty host Mike Elgum is such an idiot. Listen in on him falling prey to one of the oldest jokes in a high-schooler’s prank toolbox, the infamous and always-funny Heywood Jablome. But of course, Elgum can’t be counted on to pronounce it correctly.
Still not getting the reason for all the Mike hate but, that was good for a laugh.
Stay classy Petaluma.

I agree. It’s not his fault what happened to Tom or that he wasn’t quite ready to do a daily show like this. Doesn’t seem to warrant so much hate (but would love to be enlightened).

Agreed. The only thing he’s ever seen guilty of is accepting a job offer. Probably attending a hosting intensive for a week would get his presentation up to par pretty quickly.

Just no talent, not hate, just disappointed after what twit promised the listeners with a new news director. He just came off very snobbish and few can relate to his style. The reporters he has on have no charisma, no charm, nothing special to add to the story they already wrote.

I always love it when people read off fake names like Moe; it shows the unprofessionalism and stupidity of the TWiT staff.

Well Grifter #GUM is so determined top prove to the world, well at least #Soup, that there are still fans of the show. Tho stretch his scam out at little longer, at least until the end of the year when he will take his leave and head off to another remote location to hide out and return to just writing his biased drivel rather than have others read the drivel to him and have to try and slant it how he needs his trolling too be directed.
It will also slew him to do a better job of plagiarizing other people’s work where it won’t be so ridiculously obvious as some of his pieces of writing have been lately.

I actually liked following him on G+, when he took over for Tom it was immediately evident that he was in over his head, unwatchable. I still followed him until he posted a dozen iPhone 6 test photos, that was it.

A “news director” needs to be able to recognize the fact that what is written in his telepropmter says, “Hey would you blow me.” Any 12-year-old would know that. So it stands to reason then that all of his other judgments are suspect.

Sadly I don’t have any sympathy for Elgum. It just amazes me that he didn’t even check the background of the story. Never mind, regardless of whether it was anyone that frequents #Drama or whether it happens to be just someone disgusted with the goings on in the Shit House it will be #Drama that gets blamed for this wonderful act.
LOL

I am amazed that after all this time Leo hasn’t done some broadcaster training with him.

“The only thing he’s ever been guilty of is accepting a job offer?” Do a search for “Elgum” on this blog and you’ll find plenty of evidence to convict him of enough to keep the Nuremberg Trials court busy for 20 lifetimes.

Wow, that tweet to him and his reply just reinforces how incredibly stupid he really is. He thinks that just because an account is old does not mean that it is a genuine account. What an absolute tosser!
I wonder how many times he has been beaten with the stupid stick. ISIS could kidnap him and he would think that it is a job offer that he is taking up.
I’ve seen Coyotes laying dead at the side of the road with a higher IQ than that cretin #Gum!

Actually that wasn’t the account name. Just the first and last name you can change at anytime. Guess he doesn’t know how Twitter works.

Who’s this cookie cutter? Never heard of Mike Elgum.
