Hostless at MSNBC

By GottaLaff

Here's my earlier post about MSNBC's open slot and the search for a new host. Then, I saw this in my morning L.A. Times today. Now Mediabistro has picked it up:

The LAT ran a story about an open programming slot on MSNBC (we'd argue it's the entire weekend line-up - hello Locked Up? - but no one asked us).

From Matea Gold's piece:

The grass-roots campaigns were triggered by the news that the cable channel is contemplating creating a new show for its 7 p.m. time slot, currently occupied by a repeat of "Countdown With Keith Olbermann." That prompted the launch of independent Facebook groups extolling the merits of two radio hosts: Cenk Uygur of the Internet show "The Young Turks" and Sam Seder of Air America.

We're torn. We like that Cenk Uygur and crew are local yokels. The internet show is filmed on Miracle Mile. Of course, Sam Seder is a comic. We will always be on the side that hooks up any comedian with full-time employment.

You can vote here. Let's hope MSNBC doesn't go all CNN on us and find a Campbell Brown type or another Joe Scarborough. The very notion makes my skin crawl.
