After many years, it looks like forced retirement for long time TWiT contributor Dick Debartolo. Chad is leaving Petaluma and the GizWiz did not make enough money to justify its continuation with another replacement host. Show business is a business after all. Unless Leo can get Padre to host another show for free, the slapstick gadget program is Kaput. We expect the retirement communique to be postponed until after this Sunday’s surprise announcement of the Screen Savers reboot. Leo will not let Dicky’D take away from the Sunday self-love-fest. Good timing Chad!
Maybe he can announce Dick as a contributor to the ScreenSavers to fool the fans? Maybe make Dick the Head Writer? Maybe pay him a stipend like TWiT is doing for Matt Ingram appearances on TWiG? Well, one less show to cancel when they bolt the place up for good I guess. I for one am looking forward to the spindoctor spinning this one. Remember, everything is great and they are doing great. Happy happy happy you asshole fans, HAPPY WE SAID.

another sign that twit is failing under the watchful eyes of the sucubus, aka Ms. Laporte. guess no $17k apple watch for leo this year.

Gizwiz has been on chopping block for a long time. When Leo leaves a show (net at night) the sand is running out.

If it is not dead please let us in on who you think will be taking over as the host?
I’m guessing they are trying to force Needles on Dick. That way Leo can claim Dick decided to not continue the show.

Amazing prediction. I reread the TD.O article from when Chad was fired. On Oct 28, 2014 you guys said he would last 180 days. He lasted about 7 days less then you said.

That show is entertaining as heck. I really enjoy the inane banter between Dick and Chad. They should keep the show going on their own, away from twit. Rename it, repackage it. Just like Justin Robert Y, Brushwood, Merritt have done. Why should Leo dictate what you do with your fans?. They’re your fans after all

pretty sure Leo doesn’t own The Giz Wiz name, so they don’t even have to rename it. Dick’s been using that moniker for years.

Interesting that Dick Debartolo did not show up for his segment on the radio show for 4/25/15. Leo brushed it off as a technical glitch.
