Ari Melber is starting to get on my nerves. Is it just me?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

He's always interrupting his guests to throw in what he thinks are clever quips or rap references. Enough. Over to CNN.

[hlthe2b]

1. Yup... I switched to CNN 10 minutes ago

[greenjar_01]

2. For all my killahs and my hundred dollah billahs

[a kennedy]

3. Kinda like Stephen Colbert is getting on my nerves for the same reason.....

[Frustratedlady]

4. I've pretty much stopped watching him for that reason.

Stephanie in the morning does the same thing. I used to like her, but that is so annoying and she's getting worse. With them working from home, it just makes it worse with the time delay. Why do people come on their shows when they hardly get to say anything?

[Trumpocalypse]

16. Stephanie???

[Frustratedlady]

24. Stephanie Ruhle.

She covers mostly financial issues. I like some of the program, but don't like her yelling and jumping into the conversation.

[MontanaMama]

5. Nope. Not just you.

I’ve sworn off Ari and actually listen to....drum roll....Wolf Blitzer on my way home from work. Wolf isn’t holding back any more. I kinda like him.

[Earthshine2]

23. Ari Melber has made me love Wolf.

Maybe love is a strong word. I like Wolf's deadpan delivery and lack of hip hop references.

I gave Ari a chance. No more. At times, he talks too slowly for my tastes.

[triron]

6. I stopped watching his show months ago. He disgusts me.

[Bev54]

9. So did I, he is so enamored with rap and rap music

that most of us don't know nor does it seem his guests. His jokes fall flat all the time and I have said for a long time, he should just go host an entertainment show and get out of the news. I used to like him when he first started but now I find him annoying. I now watch Wolf Blitzer, if you can imagine.

[H2O Man]

7. I like him.

But I can see how others might find him annoying at times.

[BannonsLiver]

8. No, he's a total hack.

[ffr]

10. Ari offers a legal perspective and I like how he's able to apply situation to legal consequences

Maybe don't watch so much TV?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. He's not that good at it. He interrupts the real lawyers

(yes, I know he has a law degree; so do I) with whatabout comments and wisecracks, and they never get a chance to offer a thorough analysis because he's always butting in. I'd rather listen to the analyses of people like Chuck Rosenberg and other guests on the shows of hosts who don't interrupt.

[Funtatlaguy]

11. The musical references get old. Think he'd rather be a music producer.

[Demsrule86]

12. I don't care for him...a name dropper...always fawning over celebrities.

[Paladin]

14. Trust me, it's not just you.

I walked away from his show months ago. I don't need that sort of irritation---and I damn sure don't need rap performers attempting to preach politics to me. The times are way too dangerous for this sort of bullshit.

[fleur-de-lisa]

15. I get annoyed with him too.

A little of Ari goes a looooong way.

[Green Line]

17. Not just you

I quit him a while ago, all the rap references and he looks totally bored when someone else is talking.

[moonscape]

18. I liked him most before he had his show, when

he was a fill-in host. I still record him but find myself deleting it 90% of the time mostly because ... how much can I watch? And I prefer others.

That said, when there are big legal issues, I like his guests John Flannery and the one he used to work for, forgot his name.

[2naSalit]

19. I can't stand to watch him.

He did good yesterday in his A block but that's all I can say for him.

[milestogo]

20. Maybe he's following Chris Matthews.

[FakeNoose]

30. Yes Chris Matthews was the absolute worst

... always interrupting and talking over his guests, and I mean ALWAYS. I used to wonder why people even wanted to be a guest on his program.

Ari doesn't do it as much, but he does show disrespect when he jumps in with stupid jokes. Well that's how they seem to me because I don't listen to hiphop music, so it's wasted on me anyway.

I do like the legal expertise that Ari brings to his shows. If only he would stick with that, and lay off the music references.

[moondust]

21. Not just you.

About 10 minutes is all I can take.

[steve2470]

22. I get the feeling MSNBC wanted to appeal to the under-40 age demographic with his show

None of his rap references have meaning for me, and I truly don't care. I know my son would love it, but my son is 24. I really prefer Rachel's style to his or Nicole Wallace's show.

[Tarheel_Dem]

25. I gave up on Ari more than a year ago. Couldn't take it anymore. I had high hopes because he's...

clearly very smart, and has experience on the Hill, but his style seems more suited to late night than primetime. I remember becoming very frustrated when he would disrupt the flow of a very good interview to inject his brand of humor, even when the topic was a very serious one. There's a time and place for that, but it just seems out of place when we're living under a near dictatorship.

[XanaDUer2]

26. No

His interrupting, making references to songs and artists his guests are not familiar with, and the awkward moments that ensue are annoying as Hell.

[RhodeIslandOne]

27. He's the Mauro Renallo of MSNBC

Boxing/MMA/pro wrestling fans will get that. Could be great but loves how clever he is.

[VOX]

28. He doesn't click with me, either.

Bright guy, but his style is lacking.

[DeminPennswoods]

29. Not just you

The rap infatuation aside, he's gotten very annoying. It's like he's always got to try to show he's the smartest guy in the room. I tune in the local news when he's on and sometimes CNN.
