10. She used to do that regularly on Friday nights.

At the end of the show, closing out the week. She doesn't do it any more, hasn't done it in ... I don't know, two or three years, it seems like.

Another thing I miss is her "Best New Thing In The World" feature. She would often end her show with one of those, she did one two or three weeks ago, but she rarely does it any more.

Oh, and I almost forgot, the contest at the end of the week when she invited a caller to answer questions from the week's Rachel Maddow shows for a silly prize, usually something they found around their studio somewhere, something almost worthless except as a memento. They stopped doing that two or three years ago.

I might miss these features of her show, but no matter, I'll keep watching anyway.
