message: Is it really necessary to note that Kornheiser's parents are both deceased? He's 59 years old, so this isn't very remarkable or notable. Faithlessthewonderboy 21:51, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Tony's parents.

message: As a longtime Kornheiser follower, I really believe his over-the-top response to criticism is made primarily for comedic effect and doesn't genuinely reflect his temperament.  This a subtle distinction that should be considered for mention in this section.
Kornheiser deftly adopts different personalities on PTI, MNF and his radio show.  The radio show, where all the referenced comments are made except one, is where he is most curmudgeonly.  The exception is the Dave McKenna incident described in the NYT article, though I cannot find the original McKenna column in question or any other primary sources referring to the incident.
Anyone else share the same take?  Suggestions for citations to support the argument?  One example might be Kornheiser's repeated on-air ripping of occasional PTI co-host Dan LeBatard, whom he seems to like nonetheless and continues to keep as the primary backup for the show. Jim Lipsey (talk) 20:05, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm a Kornheiser fan, and agree with you that most of what he says is tongue-in-cheek. However, that isn't for us to decide; we can't interpret the meaning behind what he says, all we can do is write about what has happened. Cheers, faithless (speak) 20:29, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree this isn't for us to decide, which is why I recommend adding the alternative viewpoint and allowing the reader to decide.  As currently written, this section leaves only the impression that Kornheiser is mean and vindictive.  It doesn't mention that this behavior may simply be part of his shtick.Jim Lipsey (talk) 00:17, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, I disagree. Obviously, he is friends with LeBatard, but I believe his disagreements with Paul Farhi and Deborah Howell are genuine and not part of a shtick. He seems to have thin skin when being criticized, and hold grudges from them. MDfoo (talk) 01:59, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: While I think that part of what he says is in jest (like threatening physical violence), I agree that he is serious in his dislike towards these guys (Lebatard obviously excluded). The thing is, Jim Lipsey, that only these disagreements have happened, so that's all we can write about. Us writing something which suggests something else would be original research (unless, of course, you have a source for it). faithless (speak) 13:50, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Criticism section

message: On his Twitter account, Tomy Kornheiser is said to be a "proud Canadian", so I thought "Oh, okay, so that's why he waves the Canadian flag at the end of 'Pardon the Interruption'. But he can't be...his strong, rich, unmistakable New York accent...oh, well." In this article there is no mention of Kornheiser's relationship, if existent, with Canada.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pr.Dr.PediatricianPh.D. (talk • contribs) 04:15, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

message: In the wake of a cold spell in the Washington, co-host Victoria Clarke asked the others on the show why when the temperature increases from 4 or 5 degrees to 11 degrees it does not "feel twice as warm?" 
http://www.stationcaster.com/player_skinned.php?s=65&c=580&f=3827973 (discussion begins around 04:30)
None of the others attempted an explanation, seemingly baffled, but all concurred that "it should feel twice as warm" -(04:43) 
A fine example of the caliber of radio personalities - shouldn't this be mentioned?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.179.181.238 (talk) 22:48, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

message: There are a lot of websites out there (not sure if any of them are credible) that say Korheiser was married in 1973. In his book, The Baby Chase, he writes, "In 1978, after six years of marriage..." (p, 83). That would place his year of marriage as 1972. Later in the book he writes, "I was twenty-three and Karril was twenty-one when we married" (p. 133) and "... at twenty-three, I married..." (p.181). Using his date of birth, he turned 23 in 1971 and then turned 24 in 1972. This makes it most likely that he was married in 1972, but if the wedding was very late in the year 1971, that would be consistent with these three passages. Either way, he didn't get married in 1973. I have removed the year of marriage from the article. 134.41.101.166 (talk) 22:38, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
