Where's KO been? I miss him and can't quite stomach his

replacements. NE one know when he'll be bacK?

[Berry Cool]

1. Next week, most likely.

He's off Dan Patrick's radio show for the week so he probably won't be back on his own show till Monday.

And nobody I know of knows where he is.

[Oilwellian]

2. Guess what?

Every time KO goes on vacation, we get a thread like this. And every time, many of us chime in and say we really like Allison. Here we go again.

3. Uhhh... what's not to like?

[Decruiter]

4. I want my MTV! n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

8. She really is a hottie...n/t

5. I like Alison Stewart....I grew up with her (figuratively speaking) when she was on MTV...

I don't know that she works particularly well on the Countdown format, but she's good.

[JoMama49]

6. she just doesn't have that same sardonic, satirical sense of

humor that KO has -- plus her questions are not as good, and I don't like the way she jumps in before her guest is finished speaking.

[OnyxCollie]

7. She's better than the blonde woman that's been on recently. nt

[Critters2]

9. I agree. Alison is the best to fill Keith's chair,

though she's no Keith.

14. I like her a lot and think she is comfortable to listen to and

attractive.

[NoodleyAppendage]

11. That would be Amy Robach...a hottie herself. Great bone structure.

I agree, though, that she's not as good as Allison.

15. I think she does okay. She's not the best interviewer, but that's not KO's strength either.

She does well what KO does best: snarky, laughing at what you should be outraged at, & a little superior to the freaks running the world.

[NJCher]

10. I agree, I miss Keith too

Allison's OK but the poster upthread said it--the droll approach is not there. That's what I miss. I also miss the papers flying up in the air.

His absence really makes one understand just what the star quality is and how not just anyone can do that job.

12. Allison is the smartest woman, by far, on MSNBC

And maybe the second smartest person, after Keith.

No, she's not Keith when doing Countdown, but the format of the show is his, not hers. I like her sensibilities, though.

[Lugnut]

13. I do miss Keith

But I like Alison. She's not as snarky but she's cute and much better than Amy Robach.

[Kahuna]

16. Keith needs time off like the rest of us. Alison is an adequate substitute.

Lighten up.
