A Note From Conor
My dearest infoManiacs,
After almost six years in front of the same green piece of cloth, I'm off to experience a change of scenery.
I left Current at the end of last year. As much as I've loved hosting and producing the best standard definition clip show on expanded cable, it's time for me to try something new.
Keep your Thursday nights open, though - infoMania will continue on in 2011. Over the past few weeks, the staff has been working round the clock to figure out what the new show and season will look like, and they've cooked up some great stuff. Stay tuned for more news and previews on Current.com.
I'll hopefully be able to share some exciting news of my own very soon. I can't say much yet, but I CAN promise it will not involve me swapping wives, wrestling a little person, judging a plastic surgery competition, or participating in any form of cake decorating.
I'm so grateful for all of the support and laughs I've gotten over the years from our amazing fans. You guys are great/probably insane. Thanks.
See you soon. Now please stop emailing me links to weird magazines.

Brett is really nice, but he doesn't have the satiric edge that Conor has. I hope they bring in some fresh talent because now it's only a shadow of what it was.

As one of your older viewers (74), I probably did not get all your references to recent people/events but I did find your approach intelligent and reflective of a good understanding of the world. I was out of the country for a few weeks and was surprised when I found out that you no longer were hosting Infomania. I wish you well in your new ventures.
However, I like Brett and loved Rotten Tomatoes so I am happy to see him getting more air time and am looking forward to the new Infomania.

it was good while it lasted. i sort of knew Current's programming would change. i said it to my gf watch it because it will be gone soon. And there it was: supernews! canceled, rotten tomatoes canceled, infomania of live support but we have SWAT: Miami Dade lolololololol
Good luck Brett, Sergio,Erin, Ben and Bryan. I will keep watching :)

I'm just guessing here, but Joel McHale is developing a career with a hit show on NBC. Might decide to leave the Soup. I'm thinking that vacant spot is a perfect fit for one Mr. Knighton... Just a shot in the dark though...

Pollo_Loco_:
That reminds me: when it was Talk Soup in the 90s, John Henson left for an ABC development deal (Long time to wait for Wipeout). But reincarnated as The Soup, it is only weekly instead of daily. I think this allowed McHale to do both without issue.
I almost wish Knighton could have done the same: a quick guest stint here, and back to IM. IDK if he could have split his time between IM and "…" the same way McHale does now. Ten years ago, it would not have been possible. Consider the animosity that greeted Caruso when he left NYPD Blue to do films again in the mid-90s.
But Knighton has been with Current since its debut in 2005. Would he even want to consider another green screen routine on E! ?

Conor. I created an account to find out what on earth is happening to my beloved CurrentTV. I've watched you since you started here. If you are becoming producer of a new YouTube Television Channel or better yet OWN... well I applaud your courage! TwitherTV here I come! If you need a friend in Seattle, I'm sure you'll find somebody. Conor, you're funny as hell. Google Conan O'Brien goodbye speech. I found it helpful when my girl friend decided to leave me for 24 hours of commercials. She stole my Life Alert bracelet. Oh, sorry about that. Um, hey, from the bottom of my heart, thanks. You never know how many or how deep you have touched someone, until the restraining order is issued.
