MSNBC Looking to Make a Change at 6pm
By Chris Ariens

Cenk Uygur was thrust onto the MSNBC schedule in January, when Keith Olbermann‘s departure set in motion several host changes on the progressive channel’s lineup.

Now TVNewser hears Uygur may be moved out of the 6pm hour, possibly to be replaced by Al Sharpton. When the host changes happened earlier this year, the 6pm hour was simply known as “MSNBC Live,” a telling sign that MSNBC was trying out Uygur.

Sharpton has hosted the 6pm show for the last two weeks. This past week, the hour was second, to Fox News, in A25-54 viewers Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Nanner

Insiders tell us that Uygur will remain a part of MSNBC in some capacity. His site, The Young Turks, says Uygur has been on vacation and will return Monday.

Rev Al actually argues with the repukes instead of just letting them get away with their spiel the way cenk does because he's just not intelligent enough to form a cogent argument.

Last night, Rev Al took on that blowhard, Michael Steele who is so tenacious he even argues down Tweety on his own show. Rev Al left him flapping his gums with no sound coming out and he looked totally defeated and distressed. Go Al!

ETA. Load up on the popcorn because you just know that certain heads are gonna pop. Popcorn

That would be great! If it was Al Sharpton, I would start watching it.

**jaxx** · 07-17-2011, 03:01 PM

The Rev. Al has done a great job taking over for Cenk and I'd love to see him stay on.

**Cha** · 07-17-2011, 06:23 PM

So cenk's ratings are in the toilet like his attitude!

Al Sharpton, baby!

And, I saw a blurb at that link stating: "Dylan Ratigan: I wouldn't read a newspaper unless you put a gun to my head."

I wouldn't watch his show even if you did put a gun to my head. MF.

That would be good - Cenk is a dickweed. I like Al Sharpton as a host - he seems to do a good job.

Cenk sucks. Couldn't watch him at all. It would be nice to give Al the hour.

**Born_A_Truman** · 07-17-2011, 10:55 PM

I have avoided Cenk's show. Just his voice puts me over the edge.

hey Drunken Irishman, and others, who recently posted hoping for this, someone's hearing you!

sounds great! thank you for posting that, Joan Ruaiz!

I think it would be great to replace cenk with Sharpton.

**Ikonoklast** · 07-18-2011, 10:19 AM

Cenk fucked himself while attempting to knife Mr. Obama in the back.

Rev. Al holds his own and never, ever apologizes for his position.

I like Al, he's a smart guy and has a good bullshit detector...it's hard to bullshit an old bullshitter, as they say.

I hardly ever watched Cenk, but two weeks ago I turned on the TV, it was on MSNBC already, and there was Sharpton, so I watched it, and I have to say I love the way he goes after the right wingers who come in and try and lie about things. He was great and I watched him pretty much everyday since. I would love to see him take over that spot!
