I just fround out that Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper will call it Quits for at The Movie's.

Wow!

Big news indeed. Roger Ebert has been doing this for over 25 years. By the way, whats the latest on his health?

It wasn't the same without Roger anyways, it was time to leave a long time ago.

I remember reading an article on Roger. It was sooo sad to see his face now and how his cancer and the resulting surgery disfigured his face. His life is more important and the love of his wife is remarkable. What a truly happy and blessed couple.

I totally agree. The show became stale a long time ago, and they should've cancelled it a long time ago. I wish both Roger and Richard much health and happiness as they pursue their own careers and lives.

It's amazing that the show has lasted as long as it has. Both Ebert and Roeper have gotten on my nerves... often, but you are right. The show hasn't been the same without Ebert.

all I know is Mr Ebert lost his voice to Cancer 2 year's ago

MickeyMac · 07-22-2008, 06:41 PM

I know some people think the show was finished when Gene Siskel died.

Ireneparalegal · 07-22-2008, 08:44 PM

The show still was great even after Gene died. It was when Roger became too ill to return that it was time to close shop.

Roger did lose his ability to speak, he also lost part of his jaw to the cancer. Here is a pic of him (BEFORE HE WAS SICK) and his beautiful wife Judge Chaz Hammelsmith. She was a trial attorney who later became a judge:

MickeyMac · 07-23-2008, 07:01 PM

Wow I had no idea Ebert was married to a sister!

Scoobiedoo30 · 07-23-2008, 07:06 PM

Nice Picture of Roger and his Wife

Ireneparalegal · 07-23-2008, 07:12 PM

Isn't it Aaron? It is a beautiful pic of a couple in love. I wanted to post a pic of Roger that shows him at his best. With his wife and before cancer changed his face.

Lodee · 07-23-2008, 07:18 PM

I never even knew Ebert was sick! Is that why they're calling it quits?

Ireneparalegal · 07-23-2008, 08:03 PM

You didn't know Roger was sick? Oh my. Yes, he developed throat cancer. Because of radiation and surgery to treat the cancer, he lost a portion of his lower jaw and the ability to speak. Very sad. He hasn't been on the show for a very long time now. They brought in one guest critic every week to cover for Roger while the other guy remained on the show.

He still remains in my prayers
