This show was terrible, I'm surprised it lasted this long.
From NewsBlues:
MSNBC has extended Jesse Ventura's talk show holiday hiatus "indefinitely," according to an internal memo from MSNBC news chief Erik Sorenson.
"I've decided to focus the majority of our resources on Monday-Friday primetime in 2004," Sorenson wrote to staffers. "Consequently, the holiday hiatus for 'Jesse Ventura's America' will continue indefinitely."
Rumors began filtering into NewsBlues more than a week ago that Ventura had hosted his final show, but MSNBC spokesperson Jeremy Gaines insisted that the former Minnesota governor was on a two week holiday vacation.
Others told us that the decision to cancel "Jesse Ventura's America" had already been made, but that MSNBC officials had been unable to contact Ventura directly to give him the news because the former pro rassler doesn't carry a cell phone.
MSNBC says Ventura will fulfill the remainder of his network contract as a political commentator thru next year's presidential election.
