Humor & Carton?

Craig Carton is in talks with comedy and sports website Barstool Sports, according to Sporting News, as the former WFAN host looks for employment even as his trial for allegedly running a $5.6 million Ponzi scheme looms.

According to the report, Carton is interested in working for the growing site that’s based in New York and aimed at entertaining young men. Barstool recently reached an agreement with Sirius XM and will take over a channel on the satellite radio provider. Carton could become one of the faces of the channel, if he can avoid a lengthy prison sentence.

Carton recently has returned to the airwaves — kind of — in launching his own podcast, “Hello My Name Is Craig,” as his voice is heard for the first time since Sept. 6, when he was arrested before his radio show and charged with scamming investors for a sham concert ticket business.

Carton has pleaded not guilty and could face up to 45 years in jail for the alleged concert ticket sham, which prosecutors say he initiated to pay off millions in gambling debts. The Post reported the trial is set to begin next September.

Despite the charges and despite resigning from WFAN in the aftermath, Carton hasn’t gone away. On Monday, he offered a remembrance of Mike Francesa that included claims that the radio legend did, in fact, urge New York Jews to take a loyalty oath following 9/11, alleging executives had the tapes of the show deleted.

Barstool Sports, meanwhile, continues to rise by appealing to young men without using a filter. Its attraction and downside were both on display when ESPN partnered with the site to turn its podcast “Pardon My Take” into a TV show — which was then abruptly canceled after one episode following a backlash over sexist posts that Barstool has published.
