Beschloss covers it pretty well, but an interplay between him and Williams would have been a delight.

I have nothing against the current version and Stephanie Ruhle gets good guests too, but we just didn't miss Brian Williams' show if we could help it.

Maddow, O'Donnell, and Williams.
Each one had a different approach that complimented the others.

I looked forward to his snarky take on news, esp. Trump/Repubs each night. I really do miss his snarky wit.
