According to a CNBC announcement, stockpicker and Jon Stewart punching bag Jim Cramer celebrates his 1,000th episode tomorrow. (CNBC actually went to the trouble of counting the number of “boo-yahs” on Mad Money—over 1,500, a surprisingly low figure.) Judging from the reaction to the recent Daily Show smackdown of Cramer, many other people will be not celebrating his 1,000th episode.
I’ll be honest: since OD’ing on CNBC for a column a few weeks ago, I’ve been taking a break from the channel, so I can’t assess how Cramer has been post-Stewart. (Though I did read that he has declared the depression over. Break out the champagne! Wait—the cheap stuff; things aren’t that great.) Has anyone noticed any shift in Cramer, or CNBC generally?
