Does Ali Velshi have a life outside MSNBC?

[TomSlick]

He's covering The Eleventh Hour tonight. He has a show of his own but he seems to be covering for someone every day - day and night.

I really like Velshi and worry about him. Is he ever allowed to go home? Does he have a home or just cot at the MSNBC studios? Does he have a family and, if so, when last did he see them?

1. Brian Williams was also putting in long on air hours recently.

Since they all do a lot of off-air work, it is a concern.

2. Velshi does a good job. Much better than the obsequious Williams.

3. I agree. I am glad he gets to show both AM and PM viewers

what a good on air news person he is. I like him with Stephanie in the morning a lot too.

4. Lots of people are on vacation this week.

He has his 11:00 show with Stephanie Ruhle (also on vacation), his 3:00 show and his Sat show with SR. He's a busy guy without filling in for Brian Williams. Hopefully he'll get his time off soon.
I really like his coverage, also. I especially like when Trump fools try to pull something over on him and SR. Fireworks. They know their financial stuff.

9. In the past, the big cable TV "stars" were required to be on during a big story like Harvey.

Nowadays they take a VA K!

10. Major Love for Ali Velshi Here....

Glad to have him as a Twitter Follower and to Follow Him Back. Hope to get him on our Podcast someday.

11. He and Ruhle are doing a great job

Together they struggled a bit at first but now have a good cadence. That being said, they are working the shit out of both of them, I wonder if they have some bad contracts and the brass are abusing them.

12. Ali Velshi is smart and well-informed.

It's a pleasure to watch him.

13. The poor bastard also has a part time job cleaning up Howard Stern's trash...

[Rhiannon12866]

14. I used to feel that way about Joy Reid - she was either a guest or asked to sub on every show

I guess it's Ali's turn, but I agree that he's also doing a great job...
