1. "Sources say the network is going to beef up its schedule with more NBC News talent."...

5. I honestly can't figure out why they've been polishing this man for his own show.

He's not very charismatic.

Rachael on the other hand....

3. I heard David Gregory will take that slot.

Hopefully, we'll get more news and less punditry, but I won't hold my breath. I don't watch much tv, but the times I've seen Gregory, he's been pretty low key. That's probably about to change. But, so glad to see bow tie boy Gone.

7. He was supposed to be on Bubba the Love Spong today, did anyone listen ?

They run ads for that afternoons Bubba (of which Tucker is a friend of the show) during Howard every morning on Sirius. I don't listen to Mr. Love-Sponge but I do hear them promoting it and I'm pretty sure they said Tucker is on today.
