I think Stephanie Miller is doing a wonderful job!

[boston bean]

She's funny, witty and a breath of fresh air for MSNBC.

I hope they keep her around!

[Vinca]

1. Me, too!

Believe it or not, I've never heard her on the radio because a local show runs in place of her spot. She's a riot - I love her!

[oldgrowth]

2. I'm a fan to but don't get your hopes up !!!!

[Cooley Hurd]

3. Me too - make sure you write to MSNBC and tell them that!

[e-mail]

[e-mail]

Also, I didn't know until this morning that Steph, in an earlier incarnation, used to be Sister Sleaze on the Brother Wease show (WCMF out of Rochester, NY) in the mid 80's! Man, I listed to the Wease show every morning for years! That's so cool!:thumbsup:

[GenDem]

13. I listened to her on 'cmf

She was great then and even better now.

I'm still a big fan of Wease, and listen as much as I can. Can't figure out why he never went into syndication. :hi:

[RandiFan1290]

4. Yes, she is!

She has covered the sweat stains in depth this morning. I love her!

[calimary]

58. I thought that was hilarious!

My husband and I were up too late - watching. We were laughing a lot. Never did that when we happened to be up when Imus was on.

[rasputin1952]

5. She is indeed a breath of fresh air, and quite witty and...

she seems to be having a WONDERFUL time.

The best thing about her though, is that she is INTELLIGENT!!!!:D

[EV_Ares]

7. True, very true, however, Rush, Hannity & the neo-cons do set that

bar very very low. However, yes she is intelligent and it certainly shows, great improvement for MSNBC.

[rasputin1952]

10. Much to the nation's chagrin, intelligence appears to take a

back seat to ideology. Steph was saying that Hannity was 'defending' those caught up in the DC sex scandal. Stange how he was crucifying Clinton...I'm wondering if he is on that list as well...:evilgrin:

As for Stephanie, she is the ultimate GOP nightmare, and intelligent woman that gets people to think...:D

[H2O Man]

6. I am enjoying

the show.

[mwb970]

8. She is SO much better than Imus or any of the right-wing haters.

Actual wit, talent, and intelligence! Three things we never get from the wingnut screechers. I mean, just compare Stephanie to the the emetic Malkin (did you see her hilarious cheerleading vid?). No contest!

[patricia92243]

9. She just said she was going to be there all week - instead of just M-W

So, she must be getting good e-mails etc. I e-mailed yesterday, I don't think we should do it each day???

[Cooley Hurd]

12. Yes - keep the emails coming!

:thumbsup:

[frogcycle]

14. hey if they extended it after just the first day

it MUST have been a pretty overwhelming positive response

[oldgrowth]

15. She just told the caller tomorrow is there last day

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

16. I heard her say that too. eom

[calimary]

57. Unfortunately, no. She always does that after Stand-up News or whatever

the feature is - "I'm here all week! Tell your friends..."

I WISH!

Evidently they're bringing back that nauseating smerkonishwhateverthehell his name is to fill out the rest of the week. Unfortunate. They should give her the whole week. Heck, they should give her the GIG!

I hope everybody here is weighing in! There are email addresses farther upthread. And I posted the phone number here somewhere, too. I've been loving her show. It's played havoc with my sleeping schedule, but who cares?

[Robbien]

11. This is the way I'd love to wake up each morning

to fun and laughter

and truth

[oldgrowth]

17. Stephanie did say MSNBC phones were over loaded (positive)

New Jersey -
MSNBC
40 Hartz Way # 1, Secaucus, NJ 07094

[phone]

[IndyOp]

22. I called! Stephanie = Morning Version of Keith Olbermann! Big ratings!

I made sure to tell them I live in Indiana -- a call from a red-stater who likes Steph might count twice!

[roguevalley]

50. I have to get up at 2 AM to watch her. She's so fun.

[bleever]

48. Just tried calling, and the mail box is full

for viewer services.

Hopefully full of good feedback on Steph.

[Patsy Stone]

51. E-mail Dan

I did. 'S fun.

[e-mail]

[bleever]

53. I just posted a comment to him on DU,

but I guess he might miss it.

[Patsy Stone]

54. Send him the threads.

:)

[bleever]

55. I just sent him a polite email instead.

I don't want the guy to freak out.

:)

[Dawgs]

18. Where can I watch or listen (streaming)?

[mmonk]

19. Well of course. She's wearing green today

and no sweat.

[Zomby Woof]

21. Yes she is!

And the Mooks too! This has been a real treat watching them. I listen to them on my morning commute here in L.A. I miss some of the MSNBC broadcast because it is at insane-o'clock, but they are rerunning it on KTLK at the normal 6-9 time, so I get to catch most of them in one format or the other. :D

[Hugin]

23. I'd watch Stephanie...

:)

[myrna minx]

24. Momma and the mooks doing a great job.

:applause:

[youthere]

25. Yes..yes she is. I love mama.

[Evergreen Emerald]

26. They are doing excellently!

I enjoyed the show this morning--which is saying alot, since I love in the left coast and it is on at 3AM!

[tinfoilinfor2005]

27. I don't think she will be a permanent replacement in that time slot.

I suspect msnbc doesn't even intend to put a permanent replacement there. But I think they have shown us that if the future format is one of revolving radio hosts, we can expect more of Stephie in the future, and perhaps other personalities such as Hartman, Rhodes, Schultz, etc. All good things. But the greatest payoff here is the exposure and publicity that will bring in a larger radio audience and keep progressive radio alive.

[SoCalDem]

29. Who is the next host?? I cannot find any info..anywhere n/t

[tinfoilinfor2005]

37. She mentioned a name this morning on the show

that I didn't recognize. And, like our AG, can't recall. :)

[SoCalDem]

39. She mentioned Larry Elder.. (world class IDIOT) makes Clarence Thomas look like MLK

:(

[tinfoilinfor2005]

40. Oh brother. Well maybe they got a lot of calls from wingnuts

leaning on them to be "fair and balanced"...:rofl:

Did your son and fiance get home ok? Nice kids. :hi:

[SoCalDem]

45. yes.. They had so much fun.. and really fell in love with the keys

Thanks for making them feel so welcome. I guess the wedding will be in Feb or March. They are looking for a place to have the reception, and once they lock that it, things will speed up.. They've dated for about 6 years so far, so they are ready to go..

My other son and his wife were looking forward to coming next, and she had some serious problems.. he dad has cancer and is not doing all that well, and then all of a sudden there's a shit-load of drama at her office too.. She's seeing a therapist to try and help her cope, but there's no way they could hold their plans.. My son was thankful that you said they could reschedule when things calmed down. Her parents were coming with them, and with her dad having a setback, it changed everything..

[calimary]

59. He's a frickin' nightmare. Another one of those who claims he's

relatively harmless because he's a LIBERTARIAN!!!

Just another one of those wolves in sheep's clothing who isn't brave enough to declare he's a hard-core republi-CON. I've found that many of those who at least realize the label "republi-CON" is a turn-off will call themselves "libertarian" to avoid alienating people. They hide behind it to conceal their real leanings.

When he's on, guess who I WON'T be tuned in to see?

[jean]

30. Steph is sharp, funny, pretty and sparkly, with Jim and Chris providing depth and breadth that

adds so much to the show. (Well, okay, the mooks are smart, manly and funny).

The Stephanie Miller Show is a well-tuned product.

Hartman, Rhodes and Schultz fly solo, which seems like a less interesting presentation for the teevee.

[mwb970]

35. You pinpointed it exactly.

The Stephanie Miller Show is a well-tuned product.

This is what I noticed when it used to be on the air in Columbus (before the ClearChannel station hosting it switched to rightie trash). Everything about it is just right - Chris's laugh, Jim's impressions, Stephanie's wise attitude, the sounds, the songs - perfect.

With Miller in the morning and her "future husband" at night, MSNBC has it all now!

[tinfoilinfor2005]

36. Yeah, I agree, And they all stand to profit from Stephanies appearance

as well, if it brings a larger audience to progressive radio.

[zippy890]

28. We love our Stephanie on the tee vee!

Funny and insightful

big kick for her, Jim & Chris

:yourock:

[Joe Fields]

31. Please get rid of those godawful sound effects, Stephanie!

They are very annoying, so early in the morning, and the schtick was old and worn out decades ago. Just be yourself. That is enough for me.

[Frank Cannon]

41. I love the sound effects...

although I admit they might not translate as well to TV. I don't have cable so I can't watch. :(

[frogcycle]

46. on the other hand

the schtick was proven decades ago!

It works on the radio. Doesn't necessarily translate well on tv, but it IS a radio show being simulcast for 3 days - so maybe it should just be itself...

[LuckyLib]

49. I'll second that. They wear thin after awhile. And Steph and the boys are so bright they

don't need them.

[Joe Fields]

56. Agree.

[Hubert Flottz]

32. I agree...

Very nice job.

[Ganja Ninja]

33. I looked up a freeper thread on her show today.

Needless to say they aren't happy. They couldn't stand someone making fun of Bill'o and the junk toting stick figure Ann Coulter. Truth is a hard pill to swallow. Most of them tuned out in less than a couple of minutes.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

38. Do you have a link?

I can't find anything over there and I get itchy after a while...

[Kingshakabobo]

34. I like her. At first, I wasn't crazy about all the bells and whistles but even THAT has grown on me.

My only criticism is I wish she would spend a LITTLE more time on an issue. She jumps around a little too much.

For instance.....this morning she brought up Hannity's hypocrisy regarding the latest rethug hooker-gate (what number are we on now? 3 or 4 during bush's term?)...I was hoping she would rail on him a little more and REALLY expose his hypocrisy with a bunch of quotes but it was over in a flash.......I thought of it as a missed opportunity to REALLY turn the screws while mr. and mrs. Joe six-pack are watching MSNBC.......because I know it and you know it...it doesn't mean mr/mrs six-pack know just how maniacal hannity and his cohorts really are.

My first impressions could be wrong as I never listened to her much on the radio only because I'm not in the car at that hour.........

She sure beats the hell out of Imus and Schmer-what's-his-name..........and I'll keep watching.

[Liberalynn]

42. Go Momma and the Mooks

If they do decide to keep this slot revolving, maybe they could give Momma her own show in another slot and format.

She, Jim, and Chris, really need to stay on both Radio and TV.

[ronnykmarshall]

43. This is great for Momma.

I hope more stations will pick up her show as a result.

[bklyncowgirl]

44. She sent me off to work with a smile on my face this morning.

That's no small accomplishment.

[frogcycle]

47. and didn't she handle the whole flop sweat thing great!

as a caller (or emailer - i forget) said, its great to hear someone who mocks everyone, including themself

[calimary]

52. Be sure you let MSNBC know! (201) 583 - 5000.

They're gonna try out the GAWD-AWFUL larry elder soon. Just another in a continuing series of KOOKIE-cutter CONservatives. We have glenn beck. We have Pox Noise and all its cutesy little "friends" in the morning. We have scarborough. We have tucker. We have wolfie. We have tons of them. They are a dime a dozen. And we had imus and limbaugh and savage weiner or weiner savage or whoeverthehell he calls himself. We need something different in the morning.

[Imagevision]

60. MSNBC--> hello!! you're blowing not keeping Stepanie Miller!!
