Is Maria Shriver auditioning for a MSNBC show?

[itsrobert]

Watcher her on Chris Hayes show. She is actually making Chris Hayes show watchable for a change.

[Cleita]

1. I hope not, and Chris is very watchable on his own. n/t

[itsrobert]

2. sometimes he is

His ratings are still tanking the lineup.

[Cleita]

11. Well, ratings do not always make a good show, just one

that gets watched more than others. Otherwise shows like The Bachelor wouldn't exist.

4. I agree with you...I think Chris is good...we don't need maria...

[Cleita]

12. She's a liberal and no doubt a nice person, but she's a

terrible interviewer and always has been. Chris had to pick up after her to ask the right questions of the guests she brought on.

3. She's an "NBC" asset. Not sure what her contract says, but she went on leave when Arnie

became guv-nah.

She didn't quit.

She's been making the rounds lately.

6. That seems the way MSNBC works

They put them on shows and they eventually move up to their own show. Not sure Maria would like a daily show however.

[MADem]

15. Maybe she wants to do the "Shriver Report"type things, but on television...

5. Maria is promoting the needs of single mothers trying to support their children and

On a lower wage. It is difficult to feed and cloth their children, many have not completed high school. They may have started their families too early. I think this is a worthy cause. I hope it gets traction.

7. I have been wondering the same thing since she has made a couple of appearances

I think she is okay but I would rather see this guy get a spot:

I am still smoldering over Bashir's leaving. MSNBC has really gone downhill since the Comcast merger with NBC. Keith Olbermann called that one correctly.

8. I think it's more of a dump Chris.

[Cleita]

13. If they dump Chris, she's not the answer.

I know Chris is no Keith Olbermann, but she definitely isn't.

[MADem]

16. She is not gonna be interested in working a five day week.

She's more of a "Special Report" or a topic-based morning show "correspondent."

I don't see her getting into "opinion" news, not like that.

If CH is replaced, it's not going to be Maria. She lives on the west coast, her kids are out there, and she stands to get a few hundred million when she dumps that cheatin' dork so she's not going to need pin money -- and that's probably going to happen fairly soon, as Arnie has given up and fired up a new relationship with some idiot who is impressed by his massive...bank account.

[WatchWhatISay]

14. I certainly hope NOT!

I adore Chris, and I like Maria too, but she should have to start off in a lesser time slot, like everyone else did.

[MADem]

18. She has many, many years of experience on the air--she's senior, not "starting out."

Last year they announced she was returning as a "special correspondent."

Nearly a decade after she left NBC, Maria Shriver is returning to it as a “special anchor,” covering women’s issues for television and the Web.

The announcement, made on the “Today” show on Tuesday morning, is a significant moment in Ms. Shriver’s move away from political life. Ms. Shriver, a member of the Kennedy family, was the first lady of California while her husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was governor from 2003 to 2011. She and Mr. Schwarzenegger separated in 2011 after he admitted that he had fathered a child with a member of their household staff a decade earlier.

Until Mr. Schwarzenegger ran for governor, Ms. Shriver was a familiar face on NBC as a correspondent on the network newsmagazine “Dateline.” Her formal homecoming was foreshadowed last month when she contributed to NBC’s coverage of the selection of the new pope.

9. Maria Shiver gives me the creeps.

I don't why. She just does.

[HipChick]

19. Me too...looks like she had some 'work' done..

but forget her neck...her mouth looked kinda weird too..

[Skidmore]

10. I would hope so.

She's a really experienced media person and would be great to address in depth social issues.

[HappyMe]

17. Oy. I hope not.

I like Chris Hayes the way it is. No thanks, Shriver. I find her kind of creepy for some reason.

[delrem]

20. Hayes is consistently the best of MSNBC.

[grasswire]

21. TV guide showed that was to be on at 8 pm

And it wasn't. I'm pissed.
