Cenk to host Count down tonight filling in for Keith O

[bigdarryl]

DAMN!!! Cenk is almost a regular on MSNBC and I hear when he's on the ratings are through the roof.I think we should all e-mail MSNBC and tell them to put him in that 7:00PM slot that dumb ass tweety has.Why on earth is this man on 5:00PM and then again on 7:00PM from what I hear his show isn't all that popular in the ratings. http://www.theyoungturks.com/

4. Right on cue, personal insults from someone who can't stand criticism of Cenk. n/t

6. Dylan and Cenk speak for me

They both question what the media tells us and don't hold back. They hold everyone accountable for what they say and the actions they take. Cenk, Dylan and Rachel are true Americans who tell you how it is and don't sugar coat it.

19. Yeah, BUT Dylan Ratigan admitted on TV a couple of weeks ago he's a conservative. n/t

[jenmito]

20. Dylan said he considers himself a Conservative,

so I guess you consider yourself a Conservative, too. Rachel is 180 degrees from Dylan and Cenk, both of whom think there's no difference between the Dem. and Repub. parties.

18. Your post is out of line. n/t

7. Cenk is a good choice as a fill-in for Keith. He keeps losing

the good guest hosts (Rachel, O'Donnell, Schuster). I think Cenk is well suited to the style and substance of Countdown.

8. Thanks for the warning. Glee's doing a Rocky Horror Picture Show performance,

which sounds like it might be staring Cenk, but thankfully it is not.

9. This is really good

I love Cenk and a fill in on Keith's show is sort of like the big interview for a new show. That would be great. Replace Tweety on one of his time slots (preferably 7pm)!

[Tx4obama]

21. I hate to admit it but I watch Shep Smith on Fox during Tweety's repeat show.

MSNBC really needs to drop that repeat show and add Cenk to the line-up.
But they aren't going to do it anytime soon because then they wouldn't have a fill-in person that can bring in the ratings like Cenk can :)

22. shhhhhh

I do too, if I caught tweety's first show. What I like about Shep is he just reports the news, he doesn't really spin. I'm surprised they haven't fired him yet.

Or else I watch Hgtv for an hour.

24. I watch "Arthur" and Andy Griffith Show re-runs

I'll take a kids' show and re-runs I have seen thousands of times over Tweety any day. Not a Cenk fan, but he'd be infinitely better in that spot. And, for the other hour, I would LOVE it if they'd put in Sam Seder.

10. I be sure and watch, at least I won't have to sit through

him reading to me. Well I really don't sit through it I usually go get a snack or look over the TV listings.

[Dr.Phool]

11. They should let Jane Hamsher fill in some time.

:hide:

[flamingdem]

16. That would be fascinating in a creepy kind of way nt

[polichick]

12. I enjoy Cenk - and you're right, Tweety shouldn't have two spots...

One is more than enough, considering he doesn't allow his guests to answer any questions.

[GoCubsGo]

13. Damn. Thanks for the warning.

What a disappointment. Keith's show is the one thing I look forward to every day. Don't care much for Cenk.

[whatchamacallit]

14. Cool, I'll check that out n/t

[flamingdem]

15. No Cenk you nt

[Kind of Blue]

17. I don't particularly like him. But anyone

other than Chris Matthews on twice is a day preferable.

[LatteLibertine]

23. I like Cenk

and obviously I don't agree with him on everything.

Dylan is dead on about what needs to be done to fix Wall Street and crony capitalism. He's also correct about Saudi Arabia and extremists being mostly of the Wahhabi sect. Yes, he's often annoying and that doesn't make him incorrect on all issues.
