Sorry, Stephanie Rhule just doesn't have it. Bring Brian Williams back.

[brush]

Or give the slot to Ali Velshi.

1. How about KO?

He brought in Rachel. MSNBC surely must realize his value. Despite his tantrums.

[ZonkerHarris]

11. KO has a new podcast called....COUNTDOWN. It's back as of last week. Same format as the old days

basically

[DeeDeeNY]

14. That is good to know. I will definitely listen.

Never missed him when he was on TV. I just wish he didn’t go around burning all his bridges.

[CatWoman]

28. i'm listening to it now

[patricia92243]

12. Because he doesn't play well with others, they could let him do his broadcast at

his home. Prerecorded or whatever. I would love to see him back on the air.

[GoCubsGo]

20. Keith burned all his bridges there.

Based on the first episode of his podcast, it doesn't sound like he even wants to go back there.

[tirebiter]

2. Tantrums or valuable in services?

[colorado_ufo]

3. Loved her as a financial commentator.

Why would they choose someone so humorless to replace Williams? She always seems confrontational with her guests. I know good news people must ask probing questions, but to me she is sometimes disrespectful.

I miss Brian very much!

[brush]

6. He had humor and gravitas. It's missed.

Apologies to Gertrude Stein, but there's no depth there...at least to the follow-up questions.

[TreasonousBastard]

4. What's wrong with Ruh? l find her intelligent and well...

spoken, if not properly leftist.

[blue-wave]

8. I agree

I like her.

[hlthe2b]

21. She needs a voice coach.

seriously. She's not the only one, by any means-- and I have no issues with her otherwise, but listening to her late at night is like fingernails on the chalkboard.

[USALiberal]

24. Lol, ok!

[sprinkleeninow]

5. Her chignon and drapey front have appeal.

[Raine]

7. I think Brian Williams wanted to retire so very unlikely he'd come back. I wish he would

I don't care for Rhule at all.

[Ilsa]

15. I miss him too. Really witty. Can't blame him

for retiring, though.

[Funtatlaguy]

9. I'm fine with her but there's better talent out there.

[brush]

10. "...there's better talent out there." That's it exactly.

It's a high-profile slot. Seems they didn't take their time to fill the slot. MSNBC's afternoon to evening to later slots from Wallace to Melber to Reid to Hayes to Maddow (at least used to be), to O'Domnell to Williams all seemed to compliment the next host. There was a rhyme, rhythm and cadence to the line-up, but now, at least IMO, there's a flat note at 11th hour.

[katmondoo]

16. I end up having to turn her off shortly after her program begins.

She just irratates me.

[Duppers]

13. Same here. nt

[Meowmee]

17. I have hardly watched lately

But sort of agree. Maybe she will grow into it. I think she has improved. She seems to act like everything is funny or some trendy convo slash argument to have. She is trying too hard to be catchy and trendy maybe and it seems forced. I can’t remember what she was like before. Maybe she is trying to be something like BW was, just my impressions, but she would be better off to be herself imo.

BW had gravity as well. My fav announcer on that channel who I did not like at first is NW. She never shouts etc, she always has something good to say and good stories and she looks and acts like a professional. Ali V I like as a reporter, he is great at it, but as an announcer he annoys me and or bores me.

18. On her morning show she was like a squirrel on its tenth espresso

Seems the wrong personality fit for the goodnight show.

She does seem to ask questions no one else dares, though.

[hlthe2b]

19. Yeah Brian singularly made me want to watch at that late hour. But I don't want to waste Velshi

in an 11 PM slot.

[bamagal62]

22. She drives me crazy.

I can’t stand to watch her.

[USALiberal]

23. Sorry, your wrong! Nt

[Evergreen Emerald]

25. I think Stephanie is great.

[gibraltar72]

26. I actually like Ruhle.

really have no complaints about her style.

[DURHAM D]

27. I prefer Steph. nt

[yorkster]

29. Would much prefer Velshi.

Has gravitas, grace and wide-ranging intelligence.

[maxsolomon]

30. Bring Walter Cronkite back!

Williams retired. Daily TV is a thankless grind. Look at John Stewart, and now Maddow.

[inthewind21]

31. Brian Williams

Should have never bee allowed back on air after his on air lies. Good riddance Brian.

[BootinUp]

32. I really enjoyed the show yesterday. Nt
