Alan Colmes' Replacement: No One, Sean Hannity To Go It Alone

New York Times:

"Hannity & Colmes," the longest-running program on the Fox News Channel, will soon be without Colmes.

Alan Colmes, 58, the liberal half of the 9 p.m. show, will leave his daily hosting duties at the end of the year, the network announced Monday.

While the network remained quiet about its plans for the political debate program, two people close to the network said that Sean Hannity, 46, Mr. Colmes's conservative counterpart for the last 12 years, would become the sole host of the hour. The people requested anonymity while speaking about private deliberations.

Mr. Colmes's departure, coming as a Democrat prepares to take over the White House, is a sharp change to the prime-time lineup of Fox News, a subsidiary of the News Corporation. A Fox News spokeswoman would not confirm that Mr. Hannity would be the sole host.

I'll miss Alan's paint job on his hair. I think he goes to same guy who does Chris Wallace.

I nominate Juan Williams to take Alan's place.

It's been the Hannity show for years now. Why not just let Fox admit it? Hannity will no more tolerate another voice in his studio than Billo would. Irrelevant anyway.

It is hard to be a human punching bag at 58, though Insanity couldn't have much of a punch. Sean should be much happier without anyone offering an alternative view of the world, not that he's ever paid much attention to alternative views.

Hey FOX -- where'd the 'balanced go'??

They sure are building a strong, relentless daily lineup of anti-Obama programming on that network.
