I read somewhere that, since his background is being a comedien, he has decided to stay off of tv news. I can respect that but man he was great on his Air America show that I watched religiously when it aired on IFC. I'd really like to see him dismantle the RW talking points again - especially now that he's a Senator. Maybe he's worried about being too funny for a Senator?
