MSNBC president Phil Griffin spoke to The Hollywood Reporters Marisa Guthrie about his network, and the state of the cable news competition.
Griffin was candid, saying that there is a certain Fox News personality he would love to poach:
THR: Is there an on-air personality on another network that you would like to have? Griffin: Yes. I dont know if I should say this. [Fox News anchor] Shep Smith. I just like his way. I like everything about him.

Don’t let the proverbial screen door hit you in the rear Shep! Do it!
Shep has been poached many, many times already!
I’m sure Shep would bend over for it
Take him!!! PLEASE!!!!
LOL - thanks for posting this! Sounds like Phil has a crush on Shep. I can’t imagine ANYONE jumping to the joke of a network, MSNBC.
MSNBC can have Shep Smith. An arrogant, petulant child, he should fit right in.
The morning started with plenty of day after the debate smiles and now this! I really didn't expect today would go this well.
He bends for the DNC already so it would be nothing new.
Take Boob Beckel,Geraldo Rivera, and Allen Colmes why you are at it.
Wait, I’ll make a list.
No one watches FOX News BECAUSE of Shepard Smith, they watch it in spite of him.
They can take Chris Hahn as well. I’m sick of his creepy grin.
And take that obnoxious, arrogant, pompous woman - Jehmu something or other. I have to turn the sound off when she’s on. She brings out the angry in me.
I think there’s a real chance Akin could still win, despite his gaffe. Missouri voters just don’t like McKasikill all that much.
Why is he still employed at Fox? I can’t watch his news program. The guy is a creepy weirdo. The SNL skit about him was right on the money.
I thought they would’ve gotten rid of him by now.
I can’t stand Chris Hahn, either!
Oops, this is why FR needs an “edit” function for posts: the Akin comment was meant for ANOTHER thread.
As for this thread, to paraphrase Henny Youngman, take Shep Smith, please! I’d hate to see MSNBC “steal” him, just like B’rer Rabbit “hated” to be thrown in the Briar Patch.
I would through in Jerry Rivers for free!
Why Ailes kept Shep after he breathlessly reported that people were eating each other in the Super Dome during Katrina I’ll never know. He should have been kicked off the Fox team immediately. That was the worst coverage by anyone of any event.
