Rukeyser and show won't return

WASHINGTON -- Nearly one year after Louis Rukeyser last appeared on the Friday night financial show that bears his name, cable network CNBC said last week that he has told them he will not return and asked them to shut down the program.

"Louis Rukeyser's Wall Street" will cease production "by December 31," the network said.

Rukeyser announced in May that doctors had found cancer in his back after performing back surgery; at that time, CNBC said he was on medical leave and guest hosts would fill in until his return.

The 71-year-old Rukeyser issued a statement that he is "still recuperating from serious complications that have taken much longer than seemed reasonable over the past year." He did not elaborate, nor did a CNBC spokeswoman.

2. Rukeyser...

... is the biggest snake oil salesman of modern times.

Buy stocks, buy stocks, buy stocks - a parrot could do just as good a job.
