Pat O’Brien was fired from “The Insider” after he sent an email to the staff of the show saying that middle class Americans “want to vomit” watching his replacement host, Lara Spencer, picking out accessories.

Supposedly Page Six received a confirmation from “The Insider” show rep, stating that O’Brien was indeed fired.

The email that ended in Pat O’Brien being canned is below:

“Hi, folks, I just spent a couple of days in Iowa – I’m a little bit of a favorite son there – and I spoke with maybe a thousand people and was very hands-on. Even Joe Biden said, ‘You should be running (for president)!’ But what I came away with was, these people can’t afford gas, books, food or schools or movies!
“I was approached a hundred times by people asking, ‘Can you help us?’ I tried to tell them we care, but they didn’t buy it. They wanted to, but watching Anya and Lara [Spencer] pick out accessories makes the viewers want to vomit. I’ll get killed for this, but I’m actually the one not afraid for my job. I want people to be happy.”

Pat O’Brien has had his share of weird behavior, such as his drunken horny voice-mails previously, and his stint in rehab.

Guess O’Brien’s pompous prick attitude in the email was the final straw…
