So Mike Rowe posted this today - I was guffawing listening to it. Big Grin

Hey Mike - Whatever happened to Ghost Hunters? You were fantastic on that as a narrator. Then you were gone. Is there a story?

Andy Greenberg

Hi Andy

You mean like, a “Ghost Story?” Not really. I was simply fired. Happens all the time. I can’t speak for the network, but I think the decision was based on two issues. First, I don’t believe in ghosts, and I may have said some things publicly that were in "conflict with the overriding ethos of the show." However, the more likely culprit was my increasing inability to get through a script without falling to pieces. Here for instance, is a rough cut from one of the last episodes I recorded. After listening, I’m fairly sure my firing was justified. Tell me if you disagree…

Did he eventually get through that? If he did, it was no small "feet."

He was like a receding tide. Every take, he'd crack up and fall apart a little short of where he'd gotten before.

I hear the nurse wanted to be a soccer player, but that idea got cut off at the knees.

I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

THAT was pretty funny. I can tell you from personal experience behind a microphone that once you read a script that is strange sounding, unbelievable, funny, or just plain idiotic, and the laughter starts, it can be damn hard to recover, keep a straight face, and do the take.
