I'm thinking Charles Grodin.

**snicker** - I'm thinking it's like when you go to Costco on sample day. You have a little bite of something and it is new and interesting so you decide to buy the jumbo size offering. You take it home and when you have a few more bites you find out it's not so great and resent spending your money for it.

Thanks for the ping. I won't miss this show.

Good on You dear lady!

Or that he'll have the same fate as Oliver North.

Who knew MSNBC even had a 10pm show?

The main problem with this: It's MSNBC. They're notorious for launching new shows willy-nilly, moving them around to so many different time slots that half the viewers that want to see it can't find it, and then dumping their entire schedule a month later for something else.

This show won't exist six months from now, and it'll have nothing to do with how good or bad Keyes is.

It's funny how all the networks are rushing to bring on Conservatives, but FOX is turning and doing the opposite. Curiouser and curiouser.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Or that he'll have the same fate as Oliver North.

Yep........no matter what I don't think anyone here will deny that MSNBC has no goal to promote conservative ideas for a positive reason. That's the first and most glaring clue.

RINO is the one term that I would NOT use for Dr. Keyes. He holds to Republican principle more than any other politician. He offends people only because he will not compromise on principle. You can fault him for being stubborn or not being politically pliant, but you cannot fault him on principle or intellect.

I look forward to his show and wish him the best.

[sinkspur]

I wish Keyes nothing but the best.

If he can advance the cause of conservatism, let's cheer him on.

I expect him to give Bush grief from time to time, but I also expect he'll agree with him more often.

And, kudos to FOX, who is literally forcing the other cable channels to change.

[MississippiMan]

BRAVO!

Did you see this?

[Badray]

"It is good news, but I think 4 days a week is a mistake. It should be once a week."

You may not be aware of it, but Dr. Keyes did have a cable TV show that was tied to his radio show and I believe it ran for at least a year. He quit when he ran for president. The show was incredible. He took the time to explain concepts and was very effective. I hope he is allowed to control the format.

I'm happy for Ambassador Keyes, he will be successful.

..."Who knew MSNBC even had a 10pm show?"....

I have no idea who knows or doesn't know....I haven't taken that channel on my satellite. Was that the place where the Whoraldo was at? When was he on?

What will be interesting is to see if the gnashing at the teeth liberals will hang around (I can't imagine they followed their idol to Fox when he wasn't going to have a regular show)..either to learn something or to try to take a swipe at the right side. In either case, hold onto the seat of your pants....he can provide the education they need, as well as a great deal of conservatives, or he can methodically and logically dismantle their arguments.

I expect him to give Bush grief from time to time, but I also expect he'll agree with him more often.

Did he agree with President Bush once? I must have missed it. : )

Alan Keyes is a loser, and a sore one at that. I certainly hope he surprises me. The only thing worse than this would be McCain and Keyes doing a show together: Blah blah blah blah blah GRIN blah blah blah blah blah GRIN blah blah blah blah blah GRIN (PAT SELF ON BACK) blah blah...

[monkeywrench]

Great news!

Geraldo was on CNBC at 9pm before jumping to FOX. I'm pretty sure a lot of regular Americans who may not have watched his program but know who he is followed him over to FOX to see how he was doing. From one FNC spokesman: "Every quarter-hour he's [Geraldo] on air, we get higher ratings." My guess is that wasn't from liberal viewers, but from non-Fox watchers flipping through channels and seeing him on.
