Why did Jack Horkheimer change the name of his show from Star Hustler to Star Gazer?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30951points) May 8th, 2011

I don’t know when or why it happened, but I just realized it happened. Anybody know why?

Star Hustler

Star Gazer

Which do you prefer…? And… who in the entire cosmos is fit to fill the shoes of good ole’ Jack?

A series of guest astronomers are taking over the position of host until July 2011, when a new host will be selected.

Who? Who? Tell me who it should be?

According to the FAQ the name was changed because of the show’s increased presence on the internet. When children googled “Star Hustler” they were getting hits for something else.

Because the 1970s were over? I hope he retired his Dacron slacks, shiny polyester print shirt and any gold medallions, as well.

It even sounds ‘70s: Star Hustler. Like a Brian de Palma film or something.

He will always really be Star Hustler!

He was Star Hustler in the late 80’s too. I think it changed during the 90’s.
