There's a dishonesty about the way the absences of popular TV hosts are presented, i.e., "Rachel has the night off." They don't want to say that someone is on vacation because they're afraid viewers won't tune in for the duration. "They" meaning the corporate suits at MSNBC (other networks probably do that too, but it's standard practice at MSNBC.)
