Keith's gone (again) tonight. Those who would like to see Michael Moore guest host - weigh in here.

Just one or a couple times; Michael is busy, I understand. But since Keith is gone so much (Dad sick, NFL, vacations - this isn't designed as a knock on Keith), I think Michael Moore would be great, and compelling television.

P.S. No knock on Lawrence O'Donnell, who is excellent and has succeeded James Brown as the Hardest Working Man in Show Business. But I think it would be terrific to have Michael Moore as host, selecting his own guests, as host, sitting in for the elusive Keith, for an episode or two. What say you?

1. I;d Love It!

And I like O'Donnell too!

[HipChick]

2. K.O dad is in hospital

and sick...that might have something to do with him being off. He not so long ago lost his mother...

4. See edited OP. This wasn't intended as a knock on Keith, but a Michael Moore recommendation.

I know that, and I am not knocking Keith. Recommending Michael. Would you watch?

5. I didn't know that. Do you have a link, and welcome to DU!

9. Thanks, Mabus. I didn't know that-was out of town with not much news-

I missed this. :(

11. Glad I could help

We're here to help each other. :hi:

13. Actually, if you go to Keith's baseball blog on MLB

you will learn that his more pedestrian excuse for tonight is that he went to a Mets game.

3. Not me. Mr. Moore should keep doing what he's doing. He thinks

politics sucks, from both sides (most of the time). I like that he exposes lies. Maybe there's something about the media and lies in the future, though it seems to be a theme nowadays.

6. No - I prefer O'Donnell

Moore is better as a guest

[Faygo Kid]

8. But we've never seen him as a host. I think his dry humor would be just great.

I think he would do a terrific job. Hey, it's just a guest host: Who could resist watching?

[Johonny]

10. rather see Howard Dean back

he is excellent at talking policy with guests.

[Lugnut]

14. I thought the good doctor did a great job.

I'd be happy to see him return.

[slampoet]

12. I would watch any show Michael Moore hosted, eventually.

He was wonderful with the Awful Truth.

[optimal-tomato]

15. Moore's a decent guest, but O'Donnell is better.

But honestly, O'Donnell is a better host of Hardball, where he can challenge and debate his conservative guests.

[madamesilverspurs]

16. I'd like to see either Keith or Rachel

host a discussion with both Michael Moore and Garrison Keillor, just sit back and let them chat for an hour.

17. Moore has a history with NBC.
