Update [3:20 PM EST]:
Jones has finally admitted that the announcement was all an elaborate troll for attention. Kanye West never made an appearance, nor did Owens, except in the form of an old interview that the host re-ran to make it appear as if she came to his show live. Joke’s on us, I guess. While the promise of a Kanye West appearance no doubt juiced Jones’ viewership for the four-hour window it seemed a possibility that West could show up,
given some of Jones’ previous antics, his credibility was shaky to begin with. Next time he makes a bombshell announcement about an unrealistically popular guest on his show, it seems we’ll all be better served to continue ignoring him.
