Does this mean that Buttner and Keenan aren’t getting their own shows on FBN?

I doubt Varney will be getting his OWN show on Fox Biz…he will put people to sleep. Fox Biz is looking for pizzaz and the WOW factor…Varney can’t deliver there. Too bad Varney can’t wear short skirts LOL…that would get him prime time!

Varney does a better job than Cavuto when he subs for Neil. Neil has to be the most boring person on FOX News Channel when he talks about business… Asman and Varney will quickly become stars. They have both subbed for Neil Cavuto on his program, and the show is a lot better when either of them host. David is full of energy and he knows his stuff… Varney is very wittey. Neil… he doesn’t engage the guests enough. He just sits there and doesn’t talk… have you noticed a lot of times they’ll put up a split screen with a guest who is yapping away, and Neil is just sitting there looking at the screen bewildered? Neil needs to put some pizaz back into his program and if they have him on camera, he should try to speak once in a while, not just look at the camera for 1 or 2 minutes and not say anything…
