Leo Laporte Admits He Rode John C. Dvorak’s Coattails

This will be my final article and video. Others do still have access to post, even though they haven’t been, so I can’t say this is the site’s last post.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Thanks to a reader tip, we have the footage above from 2001.

Leo Laporte admitted then what we all still see is true today.

He is a washed-up DJ masquerading as a tech expert.

Additionally, he rode John C. Dvorak’s coattails into the position he finds himself in today, subsequently tossing John under the bus.

Is Andrew Zarian a Bearded Terrorist?

No, but Leo Laporte thinks so.

Or at least he feels it’s an appropriate joke to make at Andrew’s expense, while Andrew is busy making Windows Weekly possible on a regular basis.

Out of the kindness of his heart, Andrew Zarian provides technical assistance and sets up the show in the Microsoft store in NYC. He creates a feed back to TWiT with multiple cameras, audio sources, etc.

Andrew Zarian is a one-man network team and donates his efforts to help his friends Paul and Mary Jo, while the jealous Leo Laporte makes fun of Zarian for being a “bearded terrorist” and “wearing a tight t-shirt.”

Leo always wears tight shirts, but they’re the same ones that didn’t used to be as tight when he wore them in 1998.

Stay classy, Leo.


Side note: Andrew Zarian created GFQ Network, a tech podcast network that actually produces quality content — unlike Leo Laporte’s unwatchable SHiT.

He also provides a live stream and chat when shows are being recorded.
