4. Alex Wagner also had her own MSNBC show a while back

She left for quite a few years, then signed a deal with the network last week.

She's good, MSNBC is lucky to have her.

7. I see on Wikipedia ...

She married an assistant chef at the White House and her wedding was attended by then President Obama and his family.
It says that President Obama is a personal friend.

She describes herself as a progressive.

8. She has some in-the-know family,

too, IIRC.

She's grown up alot since I used to watch her on MSNBC in the oughts? As I recall there were 3 hosts - including SE Cupp.
