Whatever happened to him? Guess there weren't enough of us watching 'Mysteries & Scandals'..... because it didn't last long. Any of you watch it?

I was watching it ... so it's not my fault it got cancelled!!
The last I heard, A.J. was hosting a program called High Stakes Poker on the Game Show Network ... WTF???
I don't watch game show network....but that makes 2 of us that watched M& S lol
I watched it
3...heh heh
I LOVED that show (M&S)...and he was kinda easy on the eyes too....
I loved M&S too. It waded through rumors and conjecture about many interesting subjects. I wish they would bring it back. AJ used to appear on Howard Stern's old radio show but was banned when he started a fist fight with a staff member. Hopefully he is not as much of a hothead now.
That was a damn good show, and he was pretty cute!
Senior Death Hag
What was that catch line.."Fame..ain't it a bitch?" I think that was it...loved that show and A.J. was eyecandy for sure.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] ~smoochies~
I watched the show and even bought his book years ago...I wondered whatever happened to him
My group always called him Fog boy, cause he'd come out in a foggy mist..Originally Posted by Darrianne

Fog Boy...LOL.....
Yes, he was VERRRRY easy on the eyes.
Hot even.
yeah, A.J. punched Stuttering John for making prank phone calls to the show about A.J. going bald. John had it coming though.and I LOVED Mysteries & Scandals. that was good stuff.
I never watched his program after I saw him on a talk show and he referred to Elizabeth Taylor as an old, washed up has been druggie and drunk. This woman is due more respect than that.
was he lying?
I watched M&S it was great and yeah we liked AJ he was cool!

Yeah I loved that show! It was simulcast on XM radio too.
.
I loved that show...when they examined people that I had never heard of I would try and find as much info on them as possible...I guess that was my first incidence of DeathHaggieness....
I liked his style. I wish he was still on TV.
AJ does a commercial for some casino or boat . i am not sure which one it is.

[SIZE=4]Darrianne[/SIZE]- Hey there cutie, I kept thinking that you reminded me of someone; finally came to me........
[SIZE=4]TINA YOTHERS[/SIZE] who played the younger daughter on
[SIZE=4]FAMILY TIES[/SIZE]
That was a good show. I miss seeing it.
Renowned Death Hag
Although I watched it, I really learned little from the episodes.
I put[SIZE=3] A.J. BENZA[/SIZE] on a par with [SIZE=3]CURTIS SLIWA[/SIZE], loud, phony & self important. They're both a pair of jokes.
I saw the video of that on Howard's old E! show. A.J. sucker punched John like a little p*ssy and then ducked behind other people. Took 4 people to keep Stuttering John from killing him. I lost any respect I might have had for A.J. right there.yeah, A.J. punched Stuttering John for making prank phone calls to the show about A.J. going bald. John had it coming though.
TRUE....but, you gotta admit John had a sucker punch coming for YEARS! boor Gary caught most of the blow to the back of his monkey looking head. man I miss that show.
Well, I guess we now know whose fault it is the show got canned.
Hehhehee. I have heard that before! Even when I had blonde hair. Thanks I think she is a cc cuuuuttttie!
Senior Death Hag
He did have a good hosting "voice" always did like the show.
The survival of everyone on board depends on just one thing: finding someone on board who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner.
My mom has a chiwawa named AJ Bena.
Renowned Death Hag
Chihuahua. It's a state in Mexico.
Senior Death Hag
I THOUGHT that was him in those Casino commercials.
I still think he's hot, in a sleazy sort of way!!
He star faded after his talks show on E failed...plus he got in to a physical fight with Stuttering John on the Howard Stern Show around the time his talk show failed and was throwm off the HS show as frequent guest...he kind of "lost it" after that...I also think that he talked too much about being Italian and from NY city all the time...that shit gets old quickly
He was on the latest Celebrity Weight loss boot camp or whatever the title is.
Renowned Death Hag
I loved Mysteries and Scandals, and I miss it. It was a must-see for all Death Hags. *g*
Renowned Death Hag
I use to watch it on E! in the uk...i thought they had run out of mysteries!
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Agree. He was a total douche about Stuttering John. You know what you are in for when you go on Stern.
His schtick was wearing thin but I liked the idea of the E show, not so much the execution.
Geez, they have so many schlocky True Stories now, I used to clear the decks for Sunday nights and watch ETHS and VH1's Behind the Music, they used to be good but they have run of of subjects and half time time the info is sketchy, they should do old school mysteries and scandals again and do a better job.
They should hire Scott to oversee
A.J. had a minor role in "Rocky Balboa" as the bad guy boxer's manager.

Yes, that show and Behind the Music were a couple of the
best things on TV. City Confidential too. Why do they
take that stuff off?? Or is it just that only hags like it?
I just caught a glimpse of him as a guest juror on some court TV show. Don't remember the name.

Something on tv just reminded me of this show. Started googling a bit to see if the person I was thinking of had ever been profiled. Nope. But I did find a list of every pereon they ever profiled. Many clips of these folks' episodes can be found on youtube.
If you've seen the show, this should be an interesting walk down memory lane for you. If you never heard of the show, enjoy!:

AJ Benza is one of, if not, THE biggest pricks in the world. Just an untalented fame hag fake poser tough guy. Fuck AJ Benza. I was hoping he was dead. Ok that's a bit harsh. I don't wish him dead. But I do hate the shit eater.
Renowned Death Hag
Ha ha Stewart! I had completely forgotten about good old AJ... thank you for that poignant reminder!
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
Casper, I love you so much baby boy... waking up with you in the house is a blessing every day! Thank you for filling our home and hearts with so much love, joy, laughter and ever so sweet Sammy smiles! We belong together! XOXOX
Renowned Death Hag
Stew, don't hate on him, he has music in his soul!!
From IMDB: "Being a huge Hall and Oates fan, In 1983 he started a rock band with three childhood friends, Whitey, Chico and Fred; they called the band: "Fred can wait." Benza, a harmonica wizard, dazzled many college crowds with his lightning lipwork and crashing crescendos."
How can you not like a person with lightning lipwork?
[SIGPIC]Morgan[/SIGPIC]
rotfl!!! "dazzled many college crowds". That's the best bit. I remember when Stuttering John went after him on Howard Stern. AJ thought he could slap John and he'd just cower but stuttering John went after his ass.
Member
Aww man, now I wanna see video of that band, lol.
.
Found it. *snickering*
Renowned Death Hag
Ok you can trash "Rock Me Tonight" especially the writhing in satin sheets, but if you bring up "The Stroke" or "My Kinda Lover" you're going to be setting of a powder keg of middle aged rock angst you are not prepared for.
Especially living in Kentucky, which if memory serves, has its fair share of classic oldies radio stations.
[SIGPIC]Morgan[/SIGPIC]
hahaha It's not the song really. If you take away the video it's pretty catchy. Some of his songs were outright awesome. But that video pretty much killed his career. Another casualty of Flashdance. The slow mo shirt rip is the best. He's a tiger!!! He's AJ Benza!!
