I just checked his FB pages. He has not posted since April 24th - which is the last time he was on the air (it was Friday...ten days ago).

I knew that was an issue when the rebranding became official with the Versant- or whatever their corporate masters-transition.

I suspect he's just on vacation and/or doing some documentary for MSNOW, but it did occur to me that we never heard about a new contract.

Maybe someone who doesn't try to be the Cool Dad who embarrasses guests by quoting rappers they've never heard of?
