Pat O'Brien Forced From The Insider?
The New York Daily News reports that Pat O'Brien may be off The Insider at the end of this season. He gets paid $4 million a season and producers noticed ratings have stayed the same when he hasn't been there. So, why pay him so much? They likely won't fire him, but off him a lot less money which would make him walk. POB is already said to be very upset and not talking to anyone on the job.
