Thank you Craig. As an addict who didnt have to go through nearly as much as you have, i understand and you are definitely an inspiration for many, to get clean and live a life and amending your past! I can't imagine what better living amends to your family than being there for them! Sending you many years of health, happiness, and serenity. Gods will not mine be done!
Craig drives me nuts sometimes with his outrageous takes but I give the dude credit. He 'crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.' It takes determination and balls to not give up and resurrect not only his career, but his life . Wishing him the best.
Very true. He still gets a ton of hate but i give him credit for making a big mistake, and doing his time. And then trying to educate people on gambling and be a better person. The guy clearly wants people to not fall into the stuff that he fell into. You cant ask for more then that
Carton, KUDOS!!! You have a great opportunity that you have thoughtfully considered and have remained true to your family needs. Yes, it was hard to see your future impacted by wrong decisions but you earned the respect of many for having the courage to admit to wrong and considering the best decisions!!! I enjoy watching you in the morning.
Craig thank you for coming back and doing your thing. Congrats on move forward I will miss you and that fans of WFAN. But as a father I understand. Good luck to you and your family . As for Evan congratulations you will always be great. Thank you
Ayyyy props to you man. I didn’t know how whole backstory when I began watching this show. Takes a big man to come back from that kinda shit, and admit what he admitted. Proud of ya Craig!
Hey Craig nothing but love and support. I'm a firsts things first junkie and have been watching from day 1 of the carton show on fs1. You inspire me to be a better man in my journey. so much respect to you! Keep doing what your doing and I'll continue to watch your journey and I'll be up at 630am getting ready for the carton show. Big ups. Honestly the best morning tv show around. Love gj jj codey, Timmy. Hope things keep going strong. Love from Pittsburgh!
Your kidding. The guy made a living out of fucking people over. He didnt do enough jail time. Havent listened to him since the felon was caught. What a slime
This is great news as I found him to be unlistenable. We may actually get a real sports show back on the afternoon drive. On a personal side, I do wish him luck in his future.
Congratulations Craig. I didn't know the entire story but when you had gotten in trouble and was pff the radio i was sad for you. I celebrated you coming back and now i celebrate your future thank for all you're doing
Craig - I have so much respect for what you went through and the man you are today. Your honesty is inspirational. You are an officer and a gentlemen ! Good luck my friend !!
Count me as I wish you were always going to be on WFAN. But I totally wish you nothing but the best in both your personal and professional life. All the best.
I have read comments in different locations criticizing Craig for the choices he has made. There are others who have said that "crime does pay." Craig served his time and didn't earn this moment because of his crime. This is his God-given talent and it's on full display as he delivered a speech that doesn't seem to be pre-written but directly from his heart. He has spoken out about the choices he made, he has tried to make amends, and he spends time to educate and help others who may be faced with the same demons. He was blessed to have friends stick with him. He is blessed to have those who still support him. When we talk about prison and the hopes of rehabilitation for those who are imprisoned Craig has done well. I don't watch FS1. I won't be watching FS1. However, I will continue to root for him to make his full amends to those he hurt and pray that he can be whole again in his personal and professional life.
He served the time the federal system made him serve. Most of his pay goes to legal restitution, so he's still 'serving' in the sense that he's making amends. What more do you want? He's obeying the law. Let the past bury the past.
Thank you Craig for the laughs throughout the years with Boomer and Evan. Greatly appreciate your honesty and only with the best in your professional & personal life
I think it was both. He gets up at 2:30 am, at FS1 by 4:00 AM. Gets home between 7:00 and 7:30 PM. In bed by 8:30 PM. Five days a week. He's about the same age as me (50+). As he said, needed the WFAN return to get the FOX gig. Kicked Michael Kays ass, 2.5 years in. Plus I think they wanted to give the new afternoon team a couple a couple of months together before NFL season. And the (reportedly) seven figure contract. Lol
@@jggonzalez6299He didn't screw up. They hired him back because people always liked him so much, so why would anyone watch him hoping to watch him fail? Lol. If people already like your personality, how dumb would somebody be to tune in to watch your personality fail? You're one of those crazies who call into these shows, huh?
@@jggonzalez6299 Tell me a single way a radio personality "screws up." Lol. People pay attention because they are fascinated with your personality. He was hired back because he was so well liked. You can't screw up being yourself on a radio show. People like you just say whatever nonsense crosses your mind.
Bring back JJ and with Evan we can have the new Mike and the Mad Dog...You have to give him credit bounced back from going to prison. He kill the ratings...Was #1 and it wasn't even close. Who replaces him will have a hard time trying to keep those numbers good luck!
I listened to WFAN since the beginning, Carton did a radio show in NJ before The FAN. He was an obnoxious idiot before WFAN. I listened to the fan constantly except when Carton was involved. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Thank you Craig for making me laugh so much in the car during my delivery job, even when the day doesn't seem that good. Thank you and Evan for all the laughs and all the stupid arguments you guys have gotten into, priceless memories. Never the less, looking forward to your new show and if we had to get someone to replace you we either run it back Joe and evan style or we gotta have lugie and evan 🤘 I hope to call in and finally speak to you guys before you leave
Damn been watching carton since i was a young teenager.. remember when he got arrested and how it was depressing at the time but it sucks he is leaving.. i dont listen everyday, havent listened to any sports radio, since the knicks got eliminated but i was going to start again, for the jets, cause football season is around the corner but mannn he was the perfect radio guy and leaving to do something else, is just weird… of course he is leaving at the worst time, cause the jets are finally really good and exciting, the knicks are good and other New York sport teams.. feel like he is going to regret leaving one day but if he really is making that much more money and gets more free time, then it is all worth it.. respect to him for changing his life around
Got to love a success story like this. Good for Craig. Wishing Craig and Evan all the best. And let's not forget about Evan. He will be FINE! He was a success with Benigno and he was a success with Carton.
Heavy stuff right here.... real life staring everyone in the face here. This man is keeping it 💯. Prayers, good energy and all the luck in the world to you in the only fight that really matters in life, that is to keep your family.
Love you Craig to me you are good at what you one the best on radio you just get how to do radio I hope you keep the carton show going and continue to build that fs1 show and eventually it can get to the level u got to on radio
Congratulations, good luck on you new opportunity. Thanks for what you did on this show and how I could get away from everyday issues and just enjoy a discussion of sports. You will do great in your new spot and prosper and start a new chapter in life. So again good bye and thanks and hoping the best for you and your family.
I will follow Craig Carton wherever he lands, I will miss him on WFAN, because he is 1 of the personalities I most associate with WFAN, but I wish him the best. CONGRATULATIONS CRAIG CARTON on your journey. You have worked hard👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎
In my opinion, he never should have been rehired. He’s not a sports guy and he isn’t funny. Again, my opinion, he’s not a good guy, facts agree with me.
However crazy u may think this man is..He is the best ENTERTAINER at wfan..Him & evan were the dynamic duo.Tommy & Big Mac put the finishing touches on the greatest sports duo to ever do it at wfan
Carton is crude. I can't believe the garbage he talks about when kids are listening. He does a mea culpa on Saturday Morning and does a show promoting gambling. You just can't make this up.
Family first Craig ! Good choice, brave choice ....... Thank you, God bless....and have fun with your kids! And work hard to conquer you misses beck !!! Rooting for you !!!
Yeah, two big personalities, but the problem is that Craig barely pays attention to actual games for any pro sport. Sports world gossip is his primary interest.
Whether you love this man or not. Whether you lost faith and trust in him he was forthright and honest in his farewell. I can only wish you Craig the best in your future endeavors. Praying that this change helps you get closer with your family.
I'm sorry the article sped up the timeline and forced him to come out with this sooner than expected, but that speech was perfect. Anybody who screws up and wonders if it's worth trying to turn their lives around should look to Carton as an example of how to do it right. Enjoy your nice new gig and time with your family, Craig. I'll miss your jabs
Pair Big Mac with Evan, or bring back JJ and pair him with Big Mac, or Evan. Either way, I'll be happy to see the show get back to talking sports, as Carton's frat-bro schtick has grown tiresome. And the pairing of Evan and Craig was never good for Evan, too often he was made to look like a dweeb, clueless about basic guy-code, and so never for a second did I believe that Craig wanted Evan as a partner, or respected him. What most surprises me about this move is that I understand that Craig has a long way to go in repaying the stolen funds, how can he afford to cut his work day in half? FS1 doubled his salary?
I never knew anything about this, and I respect him for it. Anyone who overcomes their adversity, their biggest vice is absolutely a great person. It's hard... but your takes still make me wanna call you a moron lol
Thank you Craig. As an addict who didnt have to go through nearly as much as you have, i understand and you are definitely an inspiration for many, to get clean and live a life and amending your past! I can't imagine what better living amends to your family than being there for them! Sending you many years of health, happiness, and serenity. Gods will not mine be done!
Boohoo
Time for Beningo to UNRETIRE!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Oh the pain brooooooooooooooooooo
He can do it remotely from Florida.
@@Baci302 he still lives in jersey
I thought the same thing instantly
Think Evan said it's not going to be him.
Craig drives me nuts sometimes with his outrageous takes but I give the dude credit. He 'crawled through a river of shit and came out clean on the other side.' It takes determination and balls to not give up and resurrect not only his career, but his life . Wishing him the best.
Very well said
But I'm still so glad he's leaving Wfan. 😅😅 It seems he likes to talk about anything except sports(he gets bored with that)
fr he might b a dumbass but hes a wfan king
Yep. He bounced back.
Very true. He still gets a ton of hate but i give him credit for making a big mistake, and doing his time. And then trying to educate people on gambling and be a better person. The guy clearly wants people to not fall into the stuff that he fell into. You cant ask for more then that
This was the best show on radio. Congrats to Craig on making it back but I will miss this show tremendously
This show was awful they don’t take sports and carton has terrible humor
Same man i remember tuning in day 1 time flies
I wonder will the fan bring the Jim Rome show to this market
Carton, KUDOS!!! You have a great opportunity that you have thoughtfully considered and have remained true to your family needs. Yes, it was hard to see your future impacted by wrong decisions but you earned the respect of many for having the courage to admit to wrong and considering the best decisions!!! I enjoy watching you in the morning.
Just a strait from the heart speech . Wish him well.
For the love of god, do not replace Carton with Tiki
Right. Tiki is a bad choice.
They’re both unfunny nerds (Carton&Tiki)
Congrats to Evan. You were making it work, but you were playing down to your competition.
Who was his "competition"?
@Chris Nalina Carton. When he was with Joe, he was much much better. Sometimes he mirrored Carton's style.
Craig thank you for coming back and doing your thing. Congrats on move forward I will miss you and that fans of WFAN. But as a father I understand. Good luck to you and your family . As for Evan congratulations you will always be great. Thank you
That was powerful. Thank you.
Ayyyy props to you man. I didn’t know how whole backstory when I began watching this show. Takes a big man to come back from that kinda shit, and admit what he admitted. Proud of ya Craig!
Thank the lord. No more pornstar interviews
He has issues with that trash.
Just imagine, entire shows in which Only Fans is never mentioned.
Hey Craig nothing but love and support. I'm a firsts things first junkie and have been watching from day 1 of the carton show on fs1. You inspire me to be a better man in my journey. so much respect to you! Keep doing what your doing and I'll continue to watch your journey and I'll be up at 630am getting ready for the carton show. Big ups. Honestly the best morning tv show around. Love gj jj codey, Timmy. Hope things keep going strong. Love from Pittsburgh!
Total courage to talk about your troubles and family on air, hats off to you Craig, you will be missed on the FAN
No one will ever miss that pos
Your kidding. The guy made a living out of fucking people over. He didnt do enough jail time. Havent listened to him since the felon was caught. What a slime
This is great news as I found him to be unlistenable. We may actually get a real sports show back on the afternoon drive. On a personal side, I do wish him luck in his future.
💯💯💯
Well said
Yeeesss Finally About Time 🎉🎉🎉
Woooohoooo ‼️
I watch Craig on FS1, nothing but respect for this announcement. Very humble and appreciative
God bless you Greg hope everything is still good we all miss you so much on the fan you were the best
Congratulations Craig. I didn't know the entire story but when you had gotten in trouble and was pff the radio i was sad for you. I celebrated you coming back and now i celebrate your future thank for all you're doing
Craig - I have so much respect for what you went through and the man you are today. Your honesty is inspirational. You are an officer and a gentlemen ! Good luck my friend !!
I like this guy because he always speaks from the heart. Not even a fan of NYC sports, a suffering Cardinals fan.
Count me as I wish you were always going to be on WFAN. But I totally wish you nothing but the best in both your personal and professional life. All the best.

Going to miss you. Thanks for all the laughs😂 !
Absolutely legend , and this right here is a class act.
Happy to see the success but sad to see you go my man, you will be missed. Thank you for all the laughs driving home in NYC traffic Craggie!
Has nothing to do with his family, he was offered a HUGEEEEE contract by fox...Family FOH
But doesn't he already work at FOX? Sounds like he's remaining in the same slot there.
I think it was both. He gets up at 2:30 am, at FS1 by 4:00 AM. Gets home between 7:00 and 7:30 PM. In bed by 8:30 PM. Five days a week. He's about the same age as me (50+).

@@josephpapai5867 Good point about gelling the new team before NFL season.
Somebody hates family ...smh
thank god sports talk returns to wfan!
Bro brought better ratings what you mean?
Probably wanted to watch how he would screw up lol

Amen! Not a big CC fan. I respect how he got his life back on track, but beyond that, he's an arrogant D-bag him.
Bring back JJ and with Evan we can have the new Mike and the Mad Dog...You have to give him credit bounced back from going to prison. He kill the ratings...Was #1 and it wasn't even close. Who replaces him will have a hard time trying to keep those numbers good luck!
JJ is the best choice.
WFAN should have done that years ago when Mile first retired. But we had to live through the horrific CMB for nearly a year and a half.
I might start listening to WFAN again.
I listened to WFAN since the beginning, Carton did a radio show in NJ before The FAN. He was an obnoxious idiot before WFAN. I listened to the fan constantly except when Carton was involved. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Same here for my delivery job. Will be missed. First day I listen to music in awhile
I was hoping Dan Lagreca could pull the coup and team up with Evan
Loved this show so much . Damn
Congrats and best of luck!
Damn been watching carton since i was a young teenager.. remember when he got arrested and how it was depressing at the time but it sucks he is leaving.. i dont listen everyday, havent listened to any sports radio, since the knicks got eliminated but i was going to start again, for the jets, cause football season is around the corner but mannn he was the perfect radio guy and leaving to do something else, is just weird… of course he is leaving at the worst time, cause the jets are finally really good and exciting, the knicks are good and other New York sport teams.. feel like he is going to regret leaving one day but if he really is making that much more money and gets more free time, then it is all worth it.. respect to him for changing his life around
I'm going to miss Craig this show started on my birthday and I've been hooked every since
Everyone deserves a second chance and Craig has gotten one and is making the best of it. Much love to you sir and best of luck!
Got to love a success story like this. Good for Craig. Wishing Craig and Evan all the best. And let's not forget about Evan. He will be FINE! He was a success with Benigno and he was a success with Carton.
All the best, Craig! 👍💪
Incredibly well said. Best of luck, Craig.
Craigy is fulfilling Big Mike’s dream: to get airtime on FS1!
Life comes full circle. To everything Turn, Turn, Turn
Best of luck to everyone involved. You all deserve it.
Heavy stuff right here.... real life staring everyone in the face here. This man is keeping it 💯. Prayers, good energy and all the luck in the world to you in the only fight that really matters in life, that is to keep your family.
Love you Craig to me you are good at what you one the best on radio you just get how to do radio I hope you keep the carton show going and continue to build that fs1 show and eventually it can get to the level u got to on radio

Well said. Best of luck in the future!
I was stoked when he came back. Godspeed
Afternoon drive with Al Dukes! Radio gold.
Al would never alter his routine. However he is far more talented than Gio.
Everybody has their price!
In my opinion, he never should have been rehired. He’s not a sports guy and he isn’t funny. Again, my opinion, he’s not a good guy, facts agree with me.
Stick with Wfan
Thank goodness
Respect. Good luck, Craig!
Inspirational God bless you and your family!
I respect this man
However crazy u may think this man is..He is the best ENTERTAINER at wfan..Him & evan were the dynamic duo.Tommy & Big Mac put the finishing touches on the greatest sports duo to ever do it at wfan
This one surprised me congrats but dam wfan showed you loyalty man
Love you Craig ❤
Bring Mike Francesa back
Carton is crude. I can't believe the garbage he talks about when kids are listening. He does a mea culpa on Saturday Morning and does a show promoting gambling. You just can't make this up.
Good luck. Props to you for turning your life around.
Family first Craig ! Good choice, brave choice ....... Thank you, God bless....and have fun with your kids! And work hard to conquer you misses beck !!! Rooting for you !!!
Bring back Beningo, Pleaseeeee!
Sad he’s leaving I miss him and boomer 😢 it’s been a great ride ❤
Love him or hate him you gotta feel for him with his family. Sad. Wish him the best.
well done - great story - inspirational.
You're a good man craig. Well see you on fs1 thanks for the years man. New York F***ing city!
Hip hip hooray! Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
Craig I'm gonna miss you in the afternoon but I love your morning shoe on FS1 and I'll be watching
Thanks Craig best of luck
good luck Craig but thank you for leaving, I can now listen again.
Love you Craigy i missed you when u got in trouble and im going to miss you now too. Best of luck at fox
I’m really going to miss Craig.
Hope Joe comes back
Don’t wanna see Joe or Mike come back. Time to move on from those 2.
@@hereef1 Joe is on the weekend Saturday morning show, and fills in with Evan occasionally part time.
Bring the Moose with Evan
Thank you, Craig loved big Mike. I won't talk about cmb evan and Joe was great. But Craig and evan was different and was always great listen
Very well said and sincere -
Thank you Craigy.
This man knows how to give a speech goddamn
Dam bro. That's a bummer man. He said he wasn't gona leave. Then joked he would leave maybe but never thought this would happen.
Do you my man. Good luck and keep doing your thing.
Mike Kay must be dancing and partying hearing this 😂
All the best to Evan, too! 👍
Carton, you got game. I watch you in the morning at fox. Keep Timmy!
Good luck... Marco from Tropoja
Is he going to replace Shannon on Undisputed? Carton vs Bayless could be amazing.
That would be absolutely ludicrous
No he has show that comes on at 7:00 am. on Fs1.
lol... NO, he's not replacing Shannon. Could never keep up w/Skip... Carton would get his clock cleaned in debating format.
Yeah, two big personalities, but the problem is that Craig barely pays attention to actual games for any pro sport. Sports world gossip is his primary interest.
Amazingly awful.
Criag i never was a fan of yours especially because of personal choices. I got so much respect for you now. God bless you and all the best to you.
Whether you love this man or not. Whether you lost faith and trust in him he was forthright and honest in his farewell. I can only wish you Craig the best in your future endeavors. Praying that this change helps you get closer with your family.
Bring Sid Rosenberg to the Fan! Can hear him blast the teams n the dysfunctional politicians in NyC! Half sports Half Politics like Imis
Nah keep politics out of WFAN
I hope they bring back JJ or give sal licata the job. Back to talking about sports on the wfan in the afternoon!!
I'm sorry the article sped up the timeline and forced him to come out with this sooner than expected, but that speech was perfect. Anybody who screws up and wonders if it's worth trying to turn their lives around should look to Carton as an example of how to do it right. Enjoy your nice new gig and time with your family, Craig. I'll miss your jabs
Congratulations on the new opportunity, Craig, but most importantly, for rebuilding your life.
I honestly think Evan will work well with whomever replaces Craig. Would love to have Joe back.
Pair Big Mac with Evan, or bring back JJ and pair him with Big Mac, or Evan. Either way, I'll be happy to see the show get back to talking sports, as Carton's frat-bro schtick has grown tiresome. And the pairing of Evan and Craig was never good for Evan, too often he was made to look like a dweeb, clueless about basic guy-code, and so never for a second did I believe that Craig wanted Evan as a partner, or respected him.
What most surprises me about this move is that I understand that Craig has a long way to go in repaying the stolen funds, how can he afford to cut his work day in half? FS1 doubled his salary?
WFAN should have gone with JJ & Evan from jump street. I know Carton brings in ratings, but I haven't listened since the station brought him back.
Same here. Stopped listening when Joe 'retired' aka was paid to leave by the higher ups to fit big mouth Carton in there.
I never knew anything about this, and I respect him for it. Anyone who overcomes their adversity, their biggest vice is absolutely a great person. It's hard... but your takes still make me wanna call you a moron lol
❤ 🤘 BEST wishes 🙏 LGM!
Best of luck!!
It took me a while to make the transition from Joe and Evan to Carton and Evan and once I was getting comfortable, it's on to a new duo.
