This is by FAR the best news that I have seen in a LONG time!

I figured they were "holding" the slot for the past couple years to "hold" it for something.

Tweet was out all last week and I understand that they also ended his weekend roundtable show last month.

It seems they have been "grooming" Joy for on-air host, so maybe she will take Ed's slot to get her feet wet and get a format going.. Would still love to see Crystal Ball, Joy Reid, and Joan Walsh with a show.

As a preacher, I'm sure he's a very literate guy. It's the tele-prompter SoCalDem Aug 2013 #102

I agree. I've felt bad for him more than once. notadmblnd Aug 2013 #108

I remember during the Trayvon Martin reporting how he kept NorthCarolina Aug 2013 #120

Schultz and Howard Dean also struggle with teleprompters. spooky3 Aug 2013 #114

You have a falsely inflated opinion of preachers. Sharpton was ordained at the age of 9. . . Journeyman Aug 2013 #154
