Except for Jimmy Kimmel - and The Daily Show isn't listed yet. These are "clip" shows from the previous week, but they're always entertaining, Trevor gets it right.

It's either "Columbus Day" or "Indigenous People's Day," depending on which calendar you look at. My cell phone seems to have listed both! Any excuse for a "holiday."

I'm not sure if this qualifies for days off in the real world, but it apparently does on TV...

And poor Ali Velshi has been filling in for most of them! Not that I mind, he's always good, but he deserves a vacation himself about now!

And the most recent news has been especially stressful. And unlike the rest of us, MSNBC hosts can't just turn it off!
