Did I hear right? Sam Seder is subbing for Chris Hayes next week?

[immoderate]

Chris is outstanding but I know he needs a week off sometime. I think it's great that he gets Sam off the bench to stand in for him.

1. Great choice. Good for him.

There should be a spot in the MSNBC line-up for Sam Seder and the same for Ron Reagan. Some of the daytime shows are really mediocre.

2. It's painful to listen to him

because of all the times he says "um" in a single sentence.

He's a good guy but he really needs to work on his on camera speaking skills.

4. When I did workshops for trainers, we assigned an "uhm counter."

It's a problem that can be dealt with.

3. I miss Air America in its heyday.

Sam Seder and Janeane Garafalo.
Morning Sedition with Marc and Mark.
Al Franken.
The whole crew.

I often go back to the archives and listen to some old Morning Sedition episodes. Brilliant, snarky humor.

5. Dr. Maddow was there too.

It was then that Rush Limpballs famously said,
"Has anyone ever heard of Rachel Maddow?"

Rachel got such a great kick out of that she played
the sound-bite on every show.

7. Air America launched Maddow and Franken.

One is a par excellance broadcaster, the other is a par excellance Senator. We see others here and there. Sam Seder is one. Mike Malloy is another.

I still mourn for Marc and Mark's snark on Morning Sedition. Still available for download at the Morning Sedition Archives

Marc "The Shark", Johnny "K Street", the Morning Sedition Theatre company are all there. Plus, don't forget "Future Marc" and "Future Future Marc".

The best snarky political radio ever, all broadcast during dark days of the Bush Admin.

8. Mike Malloy's radio show: par excellence.

Mike Malloy continues broadcasting his great show to this day 9pm-Mid ET. Check his website mikemalloy.com.

When AirAmerica fired Mike Malloy it was Sam Seder who bucked management and told his listeners to sign the "Bring Back Malloy" petition here on DU.

6. Chris is a guest on Real Time Friday night.

Don't they do that show in LA? Probably tough to prep and then make it back to NY for his own show Saturday morning.
