'Carlos Watson' 11a Hour Canceled

Really? We can be subjected to three freaking hours of The O'Scarborough report, two freakin' hours of Dylan "Girls Can't Throw" Rattigan, an hour of Dr "Paint Drying" Nancy and another hour of Andrea "Dear Jeebus, someone get her a teleprompter coach" Mitchell, but you shitcan the one semi-progressive voice on MSNBC in the morning? Fridays' show with Roy Sekoff as co host was great, some real progressive ideas were thrown about. Thanks for squat MSNBC.

Anchor Carlos Watson has been removed from the 11amET hour of MSNBC's dayside programming effective immediately. Mediaite's Rachel Sklar confirmed the news today and reported that Watson will stay on as a contributor. At present, it is unclear who will replace him, but TVNewser will be keeping a close eye on that situation.

Behold the stupidity.

Bay Buchanan? Really?

So now that Pat Buchanan has thoroughly outed himself as a bigoty bigot of the bigotudes, you put BAY Buchanan on MSNBC? Actually, what probably happened is Pat used up his vitriol reserves last night with Rachel, so while Pat re-charges he sent in his understudy in intolerance. (and she is an apt student)

MSNBC's Carlos Watson Tweeted me

By GottaLaff

I'm not sure what prompted this, most likely just a promo opp, but Carlos Watson just Tweeted me:

It could be because I post Frank Rich's stuff all the time. Which means Carlos Watson may read TPC. I didn't see him Tweeting anyone else about this. Other stuff, yes, but not this.

Wait! This just in! I had used that teeny tiny Tweety little inroad above to request coverage on Fayiz al-Kandari and Lt. Col. Barry Wingard, and voila!

Dear Carlos,

Thank you with all my heart for considering my request.

Love, Laffy

Carlos Watson Gets 11am Slot on MSNBC

Very glad to see, even if Carlos went to Ransom (ptooey). They don't mention, but I'm pretty sure Shuster is sticking around in the 3p-5p slot, with Tamryn Hall.

First on TVNewser: Carlos Watson, who officially joined MSNBC as a dayside anchor in March, will be the host of the 11amET hour. His first day was today.

The move continues to fill in the gaps on MSNBC dayside ahead of the June 29 move to HD and addition of programs at 9amET and NoonET.

Initially, it was reported David Gregory would anchor one day a week at 11amET. Norah O'Donnell was also slated for a morning hour. She told TVNewser in April: "I look forward to my new hour in the mornings!"

Now it appears the morning line-up is set, with Dylan Ratigan anchoring 9-11am and Dr. Nancy Snyderman at Noon.

Hmmm, looking over the line up, I have to admit this is a pretty young leaning bunch with Snyderman by far the oldest at 59. Very good. Added- Oops, almost forgot about Andrea "Can't Read A Teleprompter After 30 Years" Mitchell who is well into her 80's.

Scarborough: 'How Dare You Come On This Set' And Say Torture Doesn't Work?

Scarborough ate an extra bowl of douche this morning. I personally can't wait to hear what this super secret info that Joe has is. Dick. Think Progress has the info that Joe claims to want.

David Gregory To Anchor Weekly MSNBC Show

Jeebus christo, just what the hell MSNBC needs, another wussy white guy who isn't David Shuster. They hire Carlos Watson and then delegate him to anchor desking, they throw out that Shuster is getting an afternoon show, then put up Ratigan and Gregory first. WTF?

In an interview with the Baltimore Sun's David Zurawick, NBC's David Gregory confirmed what has been buzzed about for a few days - that he'll be hosting a one-hour weekday show on MSNBC.

When asked for specifics on the heightened MSNBC presence, Gregory said, "What I'm going to try to do is appear where I'll be anchoring an hour once a week at this stage, because I want to be a presence on all of our platforms. And our cable operation MSNBC is terrific....We haven't worked out the details, but the thinking is we'll try to do it Wednesdays at 11 a.m."

Carlos Watson confronts Scarborough over Rush's political interference

I woke up to this and stuck around to watch. Watson did pretty well* against Scarborough's talking over and "Let me finishes" which aren't on the vid.

*esp for a grad of Ransom *ptooey*

May I just say

That I'm tickled to see MSNBC putting Carlos Watson back on the airtubes. I've always enjoyed his work, even if he went to Ransom (pitooey) Everglades.
