MSNBC must be mad at Ari Velshi. He just fin8ished the 3PM program and said I'll be here with you

[napi21]

at 2AM!

[COLGATE4]

1. For my money he's one of (if not THE) hardest working AND

one of the best reporters on MSNBC. Don't know why they don't give him a better spot.

[napi21]

4. I agree. I always try to listen when he's on a show. n/t

[spooky3]

6. He's fantastic and energetic. Should be considered along

With other great candidates (eg, Maya Wiley) for the 7:00 pm slot.

7. Ali and Joy have to cover for everybody.

I hope they get paid accordingly.

[2naSalit]

11. I wonder if they have much choice sometimes.

Ali Velshi is also on several radio shows and I think he does guest appearances on other networks. He's kind of a go-to economist commentator.

[COLGATE4]

15. The cynic in me somehow doubts it...

[elleng]

2. More like 'thankful,' I hope.

[C_U_L8R]

3. Ari is a hard working pinch hitter

and I hope MSNBC values him like we do.

[PRETZEL]

5. I don't know,

California will be coming in in full stock around that time.

Maybe they want someone with more experience to set the morning shows up.

[napi21]

8. Maybe, but it always seems to have to work way more than the normal hours per day. I remember

seeing him on a fri late night and he had to be back on air for his 8AM sat. show.

[renate]

9. I love him

It's really noticeable how hard he works. I hope his bosses appreciate him.

[spiderpig]

10. Mr. pig and I love him and wonder if he ever sleeps

We kid that they put him in a closet wired to batteries for a couple of hours each day.

[2naSalit]

12. I think it's Ali not Ari, though.

[Wounded Bear]

18. Ali Velshi, or Ari Melber...

they use both to fill in various spots.

[2naSalit]

19. Yeah, I thought about that too.

[Joinfortmill]

13. They're going to work that guy to death.

[TeamPooka]

14. He is the late night election day anchor during this primary season

[napi21]

16. That's what started this thread. He did his 3PM show today & he's on Gin at 2AM! n/t

[TeamPooka]

17. The networks uses him everywhere because he's on a fast track there.
