Hot 97 Fires Miss Jones
June 28th, 2008
New York radio station Hot 97 has fired morning drive talk show host Tarsha Jones (Miss Jones) and replaced her with radio personality Big Boy and MTV Entertainment reporter Luscious Liz Hernandez. “Big Boy has an unmatched reputation for being entertaining… he also has great relationships with artists,” said Hot 97 programming director Ebro Darden. “Putting Big Boy on Hot 97 in New York City helps keep the high standard of radio happening for us.” According to Darden, Miss Jones will work all of next week which will allow her enough time to bid farewell to her listeners. “Miss Jones is one of the hardest working radio people I have ever seen and she made history with Hot 97,” said Darden. “Miss Jones will have the mic in mornings all of next week so that she is given her proper respect to tell her listeners how much she appreciates them and reminisce about how great this program has been.” Miss Jones was recently named in a federal lawsuit filed by New York lawyer Kevin Hunter. It claimed rival radio personality Wendy Williams and her husband tried to hire a hitman to knock her off.

I remember Miss Jones when she first came out as a singer. Man – she use to look good, slim and curvy. I’m going to miss here. I stopped listen to the show, not as much, when Ebro got promoted and left the show. Ebro was good. As for Michael Sean and Envy, she could’ve picked a better team. I don’t think Big Boy is New York material. Hot 97 should go get Star and Buck wild. Star is funny and smart.
STAR AND BUCKWILD PULSE 87.5.
MISS JONES TRIED TO BE LIKE STAR BUT SHE COULDN’T. STAR WILL ALWAYS REIGN SUPREME.
I thought that it was def a time for a change way too much negativity before breakfast. It’s never going to work with someone like Big Boi doing NYC radio for too long. I think it’s time for Hot 97 to give a NY comic like Rob Stapleton and Cipha Sound a shot to hold it down just like KISS did with Talent and Jeff Fox.
Hell yeah thats a great idea! Those two would be great because Ciph is a funny DJ and could bring people like Jay -Z and Beyonce back into the studio for live interviews and Rob Stapleton is one of the most popular comics in NY right now! He’s funny and quick with his improv.
i have lived alot of places and i have heard alot of morning shows and i can honestly say that miss jones’ show wasnt that funny. her insults were the best but how long can you insult people. once people stop coming to the show, she has nothing. i dont know if i wouldve went with big boi. maybe russ par out of dc.. that show is the funniest.
C’MON BIGG BOY FOR REAL THE GUY THAT GOT HIS STOMACH STAPLED…PLUS HE’S IN L.A….THIS WONT WORK I THINK ITS TIME TO BRING STAR AND BUCWILD ..I MEAN ONCE THEY SEE THIS BIG BOY THING AINT WORKING…STAR, BUC I JUST WANNA BE THE 1ST TO SAY WELCOME BACK.
She couldn’t make it as a singer so she built her career dogging people who DID make it.

get your facts right. Miss Jones was loyal to Aaliyah. When star made those jokes and played that stupid sound effect she walked out and wanted no part of it and that is when she first quit that morning show out of respect for Aaliyah!So research before you speak! Good luck Miss Jones you showed these young girls that a black educated woman can be successful in a industry dominated by men. Her ignorance was only her radio personality if you meet the real Tarsha she is a very professional, respectful, stand up black woman.
hahaha, that dumb fat beatch finally gets it. hope she ends up in hell getting made fun of by those dead asian peeps she made fun of.
She sucked anyway. Too negative nothing positive about her. She wasn’t talented or had a good team.
Cheers. I wish her the best but, its a new day for Hot 97 I will start listening again. Her program just wasn’t witty or humorous too much dogging on people. Negativity is not a good thing to listen to in the morning.
Miss Jones did a great interview on The Bev Smith show,that airs nightly from 7-10 E.S.T. Miss. Bev’s type of show is, what I think Jonesy (Miss.Jones), Wendy and a like is aiming to be,…it’s great aim. Check her out at waok.com week nights from 7-10 and you can call her to let her know what you like about the show you can share your comment(s) live coast to coast . Be shore to let her know Redson told about the show. Call Bev Smith at 1-888-331-1210
Oh, and yes she is the same Bev Smith from B.E.T. Check her out.Hear what real talk is.
She was a %@#%#.. Point blank. Period
Lets be honest people.. I used to love Ms. Jones in the morning but he has been reall boring recently.With all the trash talking she does and all the calling out folks, she needed to be more serious about her own game!! Idon’t know the details but neither does the rest of us..but as a listener I was falling asleep with Carmen making prank calls ALL THE TIME and Ms. Jones always calling out!! At least Wendy Williams was fearless and consistent with all her mess and she is obviously standing the test of time!! Farewell, Ms. Jones..get ya mind right in Philly!!!!
Ms. Jones went to college. She got her college degree.
i hope they fire Envy too this dumb ass was a part of that song mocking victims of the tsunami disaster. And then he gets mad when star said he wants r kelly to pee on his daughter,who by the way is part asian. these niggas are battyboys who would do anything for ratings.
i hope the fat biatch dies.
bye miss jones; wendy william stand up rather big up
KICK ROCKS JONES!
I am so happy you got the ax. It’s about time. I was wondering, what were your higher ups listening too when you would be on the air!
You bring a negative factor to ‘all’ woman of all races everywhere. It’s sad your son have you to teach him right from wrong. Poor baby. If he could have chosen his mom, IT WOULD NOT BE YOU!
I am so glad that Wendy Williams is still standing. Fall down Tarsha, Fall down!
…and for those fans that are sad to see you go? They are just as RUDE and IGNORANT as you, otherwise they would be relieved as well.
GOOD RIDDANCE!
ALTHOUGH I’VE ONLY HEARD SNIPETS OF THE RADIO SHOW. CAN SAY THAT I DID NOT LIKE ANYTHING SHE SAID. RADIO PERSONALITIES, I THINK FORGET THAT THOUSANDS IF NOT MILLIONS IN SYNDICATED MARKETS OF PEOPLE ARE LISTENING TO THEM NOT ONLY DEGRADE THEMSELVES BUT US AS A PEOPLE AS WELL. FOR NY TO BE THE HOT BED OF BLACK MUSIC WHY WOULD ANY PROGRAM DIRECTOR ALLOW 1,2,3, INDIVIDUALS DESTROY RELATIONSHIPS, OF THEIR LISTENERS, ARTIST AND THE FEDERAL GOV. WHY?
Ok…Ok…Ok… That itch had to go… with all that crap she pulled before and others taking the blame… ya forgot she got Ashy Larry fired…. And all that crap she talked about Star & Buckwild… she went the same route…. Oh well… now she has the time to look for Dj Ron G and work on a new single. Hot 97 needs to bring back Battle Of The Beats…. remember that ish back in the days???
