HBO Cans Bomani Jones, Cancels Game Theory
Bomani Jones is officially untalented. The ratings for Jones’ show Game Theory were total garbage and HBO has responded. They are canning Jones and his show booting it from their network after two seasons. Jones brings absolutely nothing to the table so this news wasn’t surprising at all.
The news was first reported by Outkick:
“HBO has canceled Game Theory with Bomani Jones.”
“The network will not renew the show for a third season, three sources tell OutKick.”
“Game Theory debuted in 2022, first airing after Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and then Real Time with Bill Maher for the second season.”
“Each season lost on average over 80% of its lead-in viewership.”
Bomani just isn’t talented. His ESPN radio show got canceled. His ESPN TV show got canceled. Now the HBO show is done. Bomani survived the first wave of ESPN layoffs but that’s not expected to be the case. With this news, Jones could be on the chopping block at ESPN. At this point, he only hosts a podcast for ESPN. If he wants to stay on, Outkick reported that it’s going to have to be at a discounted rate.
I present you Jones’ resume. It’s a doozy.
- He set an ESPN Radio low in the afternoon.
- Lost a damning percentage of Stephen A. Smith’s television audience on ESPN at noon with record lows.
- Got canceled for record lows at 4 p.m. on ESPN.
- Tanked 80% of John Oliver’s lead-in ratings during his first season on HBO.
- Tanked greater than 80% of Bill Maher’s lead-in ratings during his second season on HBO.
- Failed to register on HBO.
- Failed to register on TNT.
Add this one to the list. Nobody knows how this guy keeps getting jobs. Hopefully, this is the last we see of this bum.
