There seems to be some uncertainty as to whether Best Week Ever is gone for good. The blogosphere is reporting, in one or two places, that it’s gone. But VH-1 is saying it’s gone until January 2010 but even they’re not sure. But Tompkins himself, via his Twitter account, is saying:
Thanks to everyone who stayed with Best Week Ever with me as the host. Please watch tomorrow night. I am not taking questions. Thank you.
and
And, in the absence of any word to the contrary from VH1, it’s safe to assume the very last Best Week Ever with Paul F. Tompkins.
And, for pure, Tompkins-hating bile (complete with Tompkins’ name spelled wrong), check out TheInsider’s re-run of a hacktastic blog’s rundown of the entire matter:
Admit it, you’ve seen the show go off the deep end once they took away every funny comic and left us with the creepy and strangely hairy Paul. You probably even stopped watching entirely because every joke he delivered was as bad as his wardrobe choices.
Ouch! Bonus: TheInsider carried the misspelling over to their re-run! Complete with a graphic that spells his name correctly! (Knowing Tompkins, that probably pissed him off more than any cracks about his relative hairiness!)
