Turned to MSNBC to watch Rachel. Ali Velshi substituting,

[triron]

started in on Northram. Turned it off. eos.

Rarely do I turn off Rachel's show.

[tulipsandroses]

1. I love Ali

I'm watching

[2naSalit]

2. He's all done w/ that part.

Should see what he's covering now, it's important. I turned off All In when that part was too. My sister called so i missed the A block w/Ari.

[bdamomma]

3. Yea

I was kind of disappointed. But waiting for Lawrence if he's on tonight.

[elleng]

4. He's gone on to other things.

[NurseJackie]

5. On Friday, Joy said "Rachel will return on Monday"

[WhiskeyWulf]

6. It's never the same when Rachel is off.

Fortunately, Ali said she'll be back tomorrow.

[NurseJackie]

9. Joy said she'd be back on Monday...

... who can you trust?

[WhiskeyWulf]

13. I hope she's not sick.

Maybe Joy just misspoke or had been given the wrong information? It was awful last year when Rachel was off for like ten days because of an illness.

[Bluepinky]

14. She's supposed to be one of the people covering the SOTU tomorrow night (on MSNBC).

Hope she’s back tomorrow, she always has great insights.

[nolabear]

16. I think she's covering the SOTU from DC.

Probably a travel/prep day.

[Irishxs]

7. No need to watch. Don't like Ali, he's too loud.

[Sneederbunk]

8. Rachel likes to take time off.

[HipChick]

12. If I had to report on Trump..

I'd be taking extra time off too..

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

20. She earns her "executive time". nt

[bdamomma]

10. Lawrence on now

nt

[chillfactor]

11. turned om CNN and watched

Chris Cuomo instead. I have been turning on CNN whenever Rachel or Lawrence are gone.....both Cuomo and Don Lemon have excellent programs.

[DeminPennswoods]

15. Don Lemon has the greatest deadpan delivery

ever! I've started tuning him in when there's a guest host at 9 or 10pm on MSNBC.

[FormerDittoHead]

17. He opened my eyes with the report about the Virginia governor.

For crying out loud. I haven't been following this story but for Pete's sake what a fucking mess.

[Raine]

18. I like Ali

he doesn't take forever to get to the point.

[Maru Kitteh]

19. Not a big fan of Ali's style, so I usually change the channel.

He just spends a little too much time "on" for me. 7/10 the whole time. Hurts my head and rubs my fur backwards.
