Are Joe and Mika taking Fridays off nowadays? I just wondered because I don't recall seeing

them on the Friday shows. Willie was doing it, or the part of it that I woke up in time for
yesterday.

Maybe they are sick of doing the show and sick of Trump. I can't say I blame them, but then, they were the ones who gave so much airtime to him during the run up to the election. Are they sorry now...

I once read producers are fed up with them as they are never in the studio, or never together in the studio and/or traveling far from home and the setup people have to go with them and make them look like they are on set, or at least in the country.

Mika had “family responsibilities,” whatever that means. I believe he said they’d both be back Mon.

You’re right about the generous amount of air time they gave him, but now they pretend that never happened.

… every available off day. Probably have great contracts with MSNBC, and take every day off available. It probably amounts to a 4-day work week, anyway.

Hubby and I got ours the first chance we could and haven't been sick once this winter (so far, so good).
