"Al Sharpton is leaving MSNBC's weekday dayside lineup, and moving to Sunday mornings," Politico's Alex Weprin reported shortly after 7:30 Eastern this evening at CapitalNewYork.com.
The activist-cum-TV host's last Politics Nation program is slated for September 4. After a month's hiatus -- side note: wouldn't it be hilarious to see Al try to read that word off his Teleprompter? -- he'll start his Sunday morning show on October 4:
"I want to congratulate Al and his team. For four years they have done a terrific job bringing his voice and a big spotlight to issues of justice, civil rights and equality. And as many of you know, The Rev never missed a show," Griffin wrote in the email. "I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do with a Sunday morning newsmaker program."
The 6 pm hour will temporarily be filled by "MSNBC Live," the channel's weekday news program. A permanent replacement will be named "soon after" Sharpton moves, per Griffin.
Sharpton broke the news of his new timeslot to the Daily News.
“I never wanted to be a weeknight pundit. I wanted to be a Sunday morning newsmaker," he told the News. "I wanted to be Dr. Martin Luther King, not Larry King.”
Poor Al. Has he ever preached to a congregation as small as a Sunday morning MSNBC audience?
I t was; I miss it. Couldn’t imagine them making more in today’s racial climate...
Hallelujah? Does anyone actually watch Sharpton? I could care less when he is on.
See if you can find the Chapelle show reparations skit; another classic!
They shuffled Ed Schultz off to weekends too before they axed him.
I can tell you from living there in college, the safest place to be is the inner city in the morning.
Sure; I drive to work through nothing but school buses, and on the way home see the population coming out for breakfast...
I remember that one — some cell phone company suddenly became the hottest stock on the market because all the bills got paid...
He is a total disaster but they don’t have the guts to just get rid of him.
Sunday morning? Does this mean I will have to get up early on my day off so I can watch him. Oh, pshaw!
There’s NBC and then M(ostly) S(h!tty) NBC...
When they kick him off his Sunday show he can say “I always wanted to do just radio.”
He’ll fit right in with the prison shows. How such an illiterate racist buffoon got a TV show in the first place is a crime.
That’s right, and the TV reporter expressing shock at how quickly the blacks wanted to give the money back by splurging...
I DID pick someone the other day on another thread. I thought the glorious mug of that smoothly-vicious liar, Chris Cuoma, would be added to your "Propaganda Hall of Shame" chart.
If you don't have a photo, I have some pictures of snakes' heads you can borrow to pick from, LOL.
