Conservatives Clay Travis and Buck Sexton have been designated the successors to the Rush Limbaugh Show on the Premiere Radio Network, taking up the esteemed three-hour timeslot starting June 21st, the Wall Street Journal Reports.
Sexton, 37, and Travis, 42, mark an attempt by the network to draw a younger audience than the elderly-leaning demographic that listened to Limbaugh, who died February 17th of cancer after a lifetime of drug abuse and cigar smoking; Limbaugh was 70 years old.
Sexton already hosts the Buck Sexton Show on Premiere, and was also host of a show on The Blaze network. Travis, a self-proclaimed “radical moderate,” has recently endeared himself to conservatives by spreading conspiracy theories about the coronavirus vaccine. He’s never hosted a political show, but he is a sports commentator. The duo’s coronation is no doubt a disappointment to the previously rumored replacements – angry meathead podcaster Dan Bongino and the unhinged NRA woman who thinks Thomas the Tank Engine is secretly in the Ku Klux Klan.
