Btw, Kumar is doing a great job this morning. She appears to be very comfortable hosting.

Clearly they have not found an adequate replacement yet despite how long they've been at it and despite the pathetic attempts to fill the spot.

I guess "Cross Talk" with Tiffany Cross was sort of the closest, but she's VERY weak in many areas of the political discourse. Zerlina Maxwell is a bit better, but still has foot in mouth sometimes. They tried Jonathan Capehart who is most on top of the issues, but they seem to need a black woman in this spot. Interesting to have Kumar in today.

Corporate is still wrestling with it. We'll hear shortly after Labor Day, I guess....

... once her replacement is chosen. Often the new title is suggested by the host, so we'll have to wait and see. Meanwhile they don't want to turn away AM Joy's fans.

Until they settle on a host and give them the program they keep the name, probably saves money on new graphics
