She was off 4th of July week, and now again this week? Anyone know?
Yeah, it's summer, and everyone wants to spend time with their families, but WE NEED OUR NICOLE WALLACE! 😁
Makes you wonder what her contract looks like. She deserves it, whatever it is. She works very hard with back-to-back shows every day.

(19,974 posts)THey get paid hugely, have great staff support and some can't even put in a full week every week...I'm talking Rachel, Reuhl and Scarborough
they have it made
If you're saying that Rachel Maddow gets paid more than she's worth I couldn't disagree more (I'm saying this in the context of what the market is for hosts of these kind of shows).
I think Rachel is brilliant and has provided me with information and an education that surpasses the nine units of Political Science I took at Cal State while obtaining my bachelor's degree.

(15,290 posts)Given Wallace's show has focused on this subject for months now, she might be taking time off now as she and Brian Williams will likely cover the proceedings.

And Nicolle Wallace is a favorite of mine, as well.
