9. I am SO TIRED of Ari Melber. OMG. He's worse than Chris Matthews ever was

Melber always thinks he's come up with some stupid/hilarious-in-his-mind joke and he will always, inevitably, cringingly derail a serious discussion and interrupt a guest to cram it in and wait for their "yes, har har, that sure is funny" before letting them move on. At least Chris interrupted because he was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about politics, not just because he wanted to show off.

I CANNOT watch him. I feel bad saying this because I don't like to criticize people, and I'm sure he's a lovely person in real life, but he is absolutely unacceptable as an interviewer. Especially in really serious times when we just don't want to hear pop culture references or anything shallow and extraneous like that. All his stupid music references ALL THE TIME. WE GET IT ARI YOU ARE SUPER COOL AND YOUNG AND ONE OF THE COOL KIDS.
