MSNBC Almost Brought Back Olbermann to Replace Maddow

112. I like O'Donnell too

but I usually only watch him on big news nights because of limited time. I really like the dynamic he has with Rachel where she covers the headlines, deep dive into the context on the issue of the day, and the night's big interview and then hands off to Lawrence to body slam whoever deserves it that night often building on clips from her interview. Then Lawrence picks up the next tier of stories that should get attention but are at risk of being buried by the big news of the day. Sometimes it feels like one two hour show.

I don't see that happening with Olbermann.

I'd give Chris Hayes Rachel's slot and let him grow into it and give Chris's slot to an up and comer.
