MSNBC launching a new show, Saturday Night Politics, hosted by Donny Deutsch

[highplainsdem]

It'll be on at 8 pm EDT, starting this Saturday.

Just hearing some mentions of it on MSNBC. Haven't found any articles on it yet.

1. Love Donnie Deutsch

[Funtatlaguy]

3. I know that Donnie really loves Donnie, but I enjoy him too.

[redstateblues]

24. Well played! True for sure

[oasis]

2. Donny D. will keep it lively. nt

4. Michael Cohen reports to prison Monday

Donnie should have him on before he goes to prison and let him spill everything on Trump. He and Cohen have a friendly relationship.

5. Well well,MSNBC

will have their own TMZ Programming. Infotainment at it's finest.

9. Nah, Deutsch is strongly anti-trump. He's open about it on Morning Joe.

11. Donny Deutsch: "I would vote for Trump"

14. Wow

When Scarborough has to correct you on this, you know -

[brush]

15. Admittedly not cool, but review what he said about socialism and trump. IMO his views on that...

are what a majority of American voters feel about socialism, not social democracy mind you. Which is why I feel Sanders and AOC have made a huge mistake in declaring themselves socialists.

Sanders will never be president nor the Dem nominee because of this and IMO will always be problematic for us whenever he decides to borrow the Dem party for another run.

17. Nicolle Wallace had Deutch as a guest and made the announcement

about his new show. From what she said, I got the impression that it's a limited run through the presidential campaign. On Saturday nights, MSNBC runs a repeat of its Friday primetime shows, so it's not displacing live programming.

[Wellstone ruled]

19. That was my take also.

Hunch is,there will be at least one more of these programs in the works. Heilman most likely with someone tied to Melber.

[DeminPennswoods]

20. Heilman already does "The Circus" for HBO or Showtime

I doubt he'd be interested in his own show at MSNBC since he's already on a bunch anyway.

I myself would love to see Maya Wiley get a show, even only as a limited run.

[Wellstone ruled]

21. Maya would sure bring

tons to the discussion. Her Wit is sure catchy.

[DeminPennswoods]

22. She is somewhat akin to Larry King in that

she is a good listener and empathetic which can draw unexpected admissions out of people. Her talk with Sam Nunberg when he was talking about refusing a GJ supoena is a perfect example.

[Wellstone ruled]

23. Yes and she is not

fooled or rolled when it comes to talking points.

6. So this is counter-programming to "Judge Janine" on Faux News?

[highplainsdem]

7. Watters' World. Judge Jeanine is on after that, then Greg Gutfeld.

[UniteFightBack]

8. That's what I was thinking. Good. nt

[vsrazdem]

10. Just who I want to hear from, another milliionaire, telling me what I think.

[FoxNewsSucks]

13. to be specific,

a millionaire who inherited it.

Generally, I thought him not too bad, until the day he was on the verge of saying he'd vote for tRump over a "socialist" like AOC. "Dead Intern" Joe stopped him before he actually gave that soundbite.

M$NBC gave him a show a few years ago. Didn't last long, he put up video and quotes of Keith Olbermann as the equivalent of Hannity etc.

[StarfishSaver]

12. I'll pass. But thank you

[EveHammond13]

16. years ago, he described Sarah Palin as "every man's perfect mate"

after that, can't really take him seriously

[OnDoutside]

18. I like Donnie but I suspect this will be lightweight stuff, which may not be such a bad thing on a

Saturday night.
