Ari Melbatoast is such a Moran (sic)

He had Dennis Ross on, who actually knows what he’s talking about and is very cogent and experienced. Ross described some instances and occurrences and was making his point as to what links them together and failed-rapper Ari jumps in, interrupts, prefaces by saying “I’ll let you finish but…” and proceeds to make an inane point. To Ross’ credit, he patiently waits for the word jumble/salad to finish and then manages somehow to finish what he started but it was disjoint.

If I were Ross I’d tell the producers to tell this faux-Eminem to cut that shit out or he won’t appear again. It was idiotic. And unnecessary.

And oh yes, I just KNOW how many of you just Love Ari. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄.

He does this to EVERY GUEST HE HAS ON.

It's FREAKING ANNOYING!

I wish they'd replace him with someone else.

or any of these overpaid media celebrities. Those who are more honest I do have some respect for but no one is above criticism.

He interrupts guests with some inane comment tangentially related to rap lyrics that the guest probably has never heard and that just comes across as obnoxious, like Let me inject a reference to my favorite hobby into this conversation so the audience knows how cool I am. It's embarrassing. He's like the middle-aged dad who likes to hang out with his teenaged son's garage band even though they wish he'd just go away and mow the lawn.

Damn, he is even worse than Chris Matthews was. Why is he still on TV at all, let alone a prime slot for viewers?

Does anyone even like him? I have not a heard a single positive thing about him. Is he compromised or something? There is no way his obvious lack of talent accounts for this.

He is annoying at best. The only time I ever see him is when I am busy in the kitchen with crap all over my hands so I can't even hit the mute button on my remote control.
