Phil's nice and smart, though his voice is a little lightweight. But then again, NYC Local Channel 2 has Maurice DuBois, whose voice sounds kind of like the equivalent of cotton candy.

R28, Claire sat in for Nicole a few times and she seemed uncomfortable. Or maybe she just didn't like doing it.

When MSNBC goes looking for new hosts I hope they consider Jen Psaki, current White House press secretary. She has said that she won't be staying much longer than a year at the White House. I am not saying she deserves the top spot that Rachel holds but since they will probably move someone currently at MSNBC into that spot they will need to back fill, they should consider Jen.

OK, January 6th is important and any new info or progress needs to be reported, but it was nearly a year ago and other things are on people's minds right now. It's as if she's got nothing else.

I am so tired of Morning Joe and marry band of Capitalist like Stephanie Ruhle on their mission to guilt people back to work from the perspective of their MSNBC bubble. They did it again last night. Stupid examples about brainstorming and mentors and getting ahead because you "showed up". They have no clue most offices are not run like fast paced media outlets where the hard workers with talent and fighters rise to the top overnight. Where older workers with power and seniority often act as mentors. Where salaries can quadruple if you are chosen to be in front of the camera.

Most office type jobs these days people are hired for one thing and one thing only. There is not recognition, because that means a pay raise which is why the most common way for an office or knowledge worker to get a raise over cost of living it to switch jobs. There is no mentoring because they expect you to not stay long and you should already know what you are doing. No one suddenly doubles or triples their salary no matter how much of a superstar you are, it's your job to be good at what you do. Congratulations, you get a piece of paper that say best working of the year. Oh, you wanted a raise for that? A bonus maybe? How about a round of pizza for the office on Friday (after work hours) to celebrate your success. Bring whatever you are drinking. No alcohol.

One of the reasons they do that is so they can differentiate themselves from Fox and Friends on at the same time who have two douche bros and always a blond bimbo with no real background in what they are talking about AT ALL.

So Chris will move over to MSNBC and Brian to CNN. Bro Swap. You laugh but both those guys had huge audiences. Better than some Repug from fox that no one will watch no matter how much they get other anchors to vouch for them. Remember that disaster with Gretta Van Sustran? They put Rachael all over the air talking about what a great person she was and give her a chance, bla, bla, bla. Show died in a grease fire. No one watched.

JRs is supposedly a tad more diverse than it was in the 90s but still, no surprise Eugene goes there. I’m sure Don Lemon would probably go there if she’s in DC.

They could pick various topic, both current and historical -there is A LOT these gentlemen could teach us!! So much of the country is woefully ignorant about our own history.

Great idea, R406 -- too bad networks other than PBS have no interest in educating the public. The other important subject of which Americans are ignorant is civics, how their government is designed to work. In a democracy, where the government is theoretically run by the people, the voters should understand the system they're participating in but it's obvious that many/most do not. Immigrants who become citizens are required to pass a test on basic U.S. history and civics, but those of us who are born citizens never have to do that, apparently not even in order to graduate from high school. So much for compulsory public education!

They'll watch anyone who is placed in the Prime Time line-up as long as hate and division is being spewed. Tucker, Hannity, and Ingraham are successful ONLY because of their time slots.
