Michael Ausiello's Exit: My Take
CSI's Warrick and NCIS' Jenny have nothing on this shocking exit. After eight years of breaking some of television's biggest news, Michael Ausiello is bidding TV Guide adieu.
Now, I don't know how many of you (outside of my proud momma and sisters!) pay attention to magazine mastheads, but Mike and I actually first started working together back in 1998, when I trolled the sets of As the World Turns and One Life to Live for "scoop" at Soaps in Depth. (Rule No. 1: No news tidbit about Roger Howarth is too trivial!)
I'm excited for Mike and his new opportunity. I hate him for leaving, oh yes I do, but I am also excited for him. And if you wonder why my eyes are red in the video I'm shooting later with David Cook (plug, plug, Ausiello-style), it's because of this news.
But I guess if you are going to gain a "frenemy," why not have it be one of your best friends, right?

You could have softened the blow by actually giving us some Roger Howarth news.

Matt, please tell me that the podcast crew (minus Ausiello) will be doing a special fall preview edition of TV Guide Talk in late August... I need some good news...

Matt - there is too much leaving around here. You are staying until you die. Got it?

Okay, I can *sniff* handle Ausiello leaving...
But if you take off, Matt (well, you and Roush)... where am I gonna go to get my TV info and daily dose of snark?
As long as both of you are still on the job, TVguide.com isn't a sinking ship! (At least, I hope not.)

"TVguide.com isn't a sinking ship"
I take it you don't read the news much.
