Dunkleman Gets The Boot From Las Vegas Comedy Festival

New York Magazine reports that as rumors came out that ‘American Idol’ co-host Brian Dunkleman may get the boot from the hit TV show, we hear he was recently asked to leave the launch of the new three-day Las Vegas Comedy Festival as well. Seems Dunkleman was unhappy that no one recognized him when he arrived at the Wayne Newton Theater on September 7. “He got very loud, rude, and disruptive in the middle of all these senior citizens,” a source blabbed. The final straw though was when he tried to sneak a cocktail backstage, as performers are not allowed to drink before their gig.
