I remember when Anscombe just suddenly wasn't there anymore at some point in the late 1990s. The network didn't say anything at all. I was a teenager but I remember hearing that he got fired because Susan Hay didn't like him and that he offended her. She was married to one of the network executives if I'm not mistaken. I can't remember the whole story but I figured that Anscombe was let go but probably got a pretty good settlement of some sort.

McAdorey was hilarious. He was never afraid to say if a movie or musical artist's album was terrible. And he did it in such a funny way. He was so good at making fun of celebrities.
