This week Danny Bonaduce has been filling in as co-host with Dr. Drew on Loveline.
Adam Carolla co-hosted the program for 10 years and was promoted to Howard Sterns previous radio position.
Anyway, Danny has been co-hosting this week. I guess there have been many, many calls from older people (in their 30's and 40's) asking whether or not Bonaduce is going to be Carolla's permanent replacement. Inquiring minds must want to know...
A friend and I had the same idea so she called in a few days ago, not to talk on the air, but to ask the producer if Danny is the replacement.
The producer was cool, but when asked if Bonaduce was replacing Adam Carolla, the guy yelled at the top of his lungs:
NO WAY IN HELL! NEVER! NOT EVEN FOR A HALF-SECOND...OH MAN, NO WAY, NO FREAKIN' WAY! (except he didn't say freakin' he said the other thing 2 or 3 times).
He kept going on and on and on and on at the top of his lungs! He was teasing us, but he was serious about the answer. He yelled.
I'M NOT PUTTING UP WITH HIM! NO WAY! IT'S NOT EVEN BEING CONSIDERED!!!!
Then he got quiet and said, "How old are you?"
We told him early and mid 30's... He yelled...
...AND THAT'S WHY DANNY IS NOT DOING THE SHOW PERMANENTLY, BECAUSE HIS GIRLFRIENDS WOULD BE CALLING!
We said, nope, try again
He laughed and said alot of older people had called and asked. Then he yelled:
NO FREAKIN' WAY IS THAT EVER GOING TO HAPPEN!!!
He was serious when he said that it was never going to happen. He meant it. I don't think he was trying to joke with Danny Bonaduce at all. The producer was screening calls and the hosts of the show did not hear him talking to potential callers.
I kind of feel bad about that, because if Danny could work with Dr. Drew everyday on the show, Drew would interrupt and correct Danny, just as he did when Adam Carolla was first on the show... Adam Carolla really matured working with Drew. When he left, Adam had a much better viewpoint on life.
Eventually, Bonaduce would be helped by that association as well.
It's one thing to go into rehab over and over, but to have consequences repeated to you day after day and call after call, plus going to outpatient rehab or whatever Danny is doing now... That may ingrain some positive life lessons for Bonaduce, plus he is a good radio personality and adds his own stuff to the show..
I really wish KROQ would consider Danny. I know there will be a new season of Breaking Bonaduce out soon, but he could still do Loveline. Believe me, any opinion he has that doesn't set right with Drew, Danny would be confronted on and off the air. If Danny did drugs, Drew would know it and commit him. Then they could do the guest-host thing until Danny got it together and he wouldn't cross Drew Pinsky again...
