What happened to The Ben & Dave Show?
Just a week after being called “a little hottie” (albeit indirectly) by Ben Harvey1, The Ben and Dave Show on HERE! Networks2 seems to have been cancelled.
I checked the podcast this afternoon to get the latest episode, only to be greeted by a 404.3 I searched Facebook and could no longer find the show’s fan page. I went to YouTube and was told that all of the show’s videos had been removed by the user. I ventured onto (the sleazy) MySpace and saw that the their account had either been cancelled or deleted.
Dave Rubin told me that this, “was just the beginning,” and yet all evidence the show ever existed has been deleted.
Update: 2008/03/30, 6:56 PM: I was able to reach Dave. He told me that the show is “down but not out” and hopefully will be back shortly.
1 See Episode 19 and my wall.
2 I’ve never understood the use of exclamation points in company names. It implies that they are really excited about themselves.
3 Ironically, the error icon in iTunes resembles the HERE! logo.

Congrats on being the #1 match on Google for “Ben and Dave Show Cancelled”! I can’t believe it! No notice at all. What the hell happened? :(
I heard that Ben is having contractual problems. I’m not sure if they are with here! or another company. The B&D Show is removed from the network’s website, but Dave’s “Hot Gay Blog” and “Hot Gay Comics” show are still listed.
Ooh, thanks for the info! I’ve been wondering about that for weeks. Pretty unprofessional of here! to just wipe an entire show without any kind of announcement before or after.
