Tucker’s show works a lot better in that time slot than any of the other shows. It has to be informative, but light-hearted to get people to watch/listen. You have to cover all sorts of things about pop culture and not just reading the headlines like they do on CSPAN. Chuck Nice works on VH1’s Best Week Ever and that’s the sort of mood for a show to be successful in that slot for MSNBC. Nice and Tucker and Willie Geist and some laid-back chick who isn’t some shrill feminazi (also like the ones who contribute on Best Week Ever, or like Stern’s Robin Givens) would be perfect.
I was wondering where Chuck Nice came from. Sharp guy.
I agree, the Tucker try-out has been the best so far. Willie Geist has a future and needs to be given more air time.
Scarborough is, as Imus would say, “just awful.”
