Rachel Maddow's Hosting Countdown

[malik flavors]

Awesome.

[blonndee]

1. WOW! I was just about to start a thread, "Is that RACHEL MADDOW hosting Countdown??"

I'm in my office and just listening.

I think I'll go into the living room and watch now. This should be INTERESTING!

[GregD]

9. is there any way to watch countdown online?

I don't get MSNBC on our teevee.

[blonndee]

27. Sorry, I don't know

but I think that they make at least segments available on the msn website. You might try asking your question as a reply to the OP--others might be better able to answer your question. I usually just watch it live or clips people link to.

3. How's she doing?

I can't watch until later tonight.

[malik flavors]

10. She stuttered at the beginning, but she's doing great.

[jgraz]

20. Thanks -- please keep the updates coming

I'm too nervous for her to watch unless she's doing well.

[The Ghost]

4. Hopefully this is a test

for her OWN show! LOVE HER!

5. nice...think i'm going to like this

[stop the bleeding]

6. meow

:beer:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. Clinton supporters who are watching Countdown:

"Wesley Crusher is dead to me now."

[EFerrari]

11. "I remember where I was when I heard Dr. King had been killed."

Insert smiley here

[tnlurker]

8. She is wearing a pinstripe suit like Keith wears.

[WilyWondr]

34. That kinda freaked me out

It is almost like she is doing her impersonation of him.

Don't get me wrong, I love her filling in for KO, but her wearing that suit and how she is closing
some of the conversations in a similar manner that KO does makes it kinda like she is channeling KO.

:bounce:
Go Rachel

[BlueIdaho]

Go Rachel!!!

She is one smart cookie!

[BlueIdaho]

12. Dupe

[rndmprsn]

13. ok the penn/free trade thing has legs...

interesting...

[Boz]

21. She just summed up the Hillary problem in the GE over this, how do you call out Lobbyist in

McCains camp and his being indebted to them, when her LEAD campaigner is lobbying for pro free trade, questionably on her campaign dime

[Cha]

40. Thanks for the play by play..

Boz.

[Pisces]

14. Go Rachel Go!!

[doublethink]

15. She's on her way !!!

K&R ! :kick:

[Boz]

16. Hope she gets her own show, she seemed a little stretched trying to affect the Olbermann delivery

In the intro, but now that its settled into the show shes doing fine.

[islandmkl]

17. get this woman a show....every night....put all the pundits on...

let's at least get one person to clean up the shit the RW has managed to pollute our screens with....

how good would it be to have some Rachel EVERY night?

[The River]

18. A "Star" in the Making

and she deserves it.

Progressive "stars" are coming into alignment
and things really going to change for the better.

[TheDonkey]

19. Good for her. Hopefully she does well and gets a show on MSNBC someday

[MadBadger]

22. She sounds a little nervous, probably not used to the whole teleprompter thing.

[blonndee]

23. She's doing a great job so far.

Very natural and very Rachel!! WTG Rachel!

[Bensthename]

24. Cool, she rocks the hizzle

[slinkerwink]

25. dammit, a McCain 3AM ad just ran on my channel

[Rick Myers]

35. Same here!!!

What a lame spot!!! And there is plenty of tape of John saying he doesn't understand economics!!!

:kick:

[jenmito]

37. Same here!

[Blarch]

26. She is dead to me.

:sarcasm:

[Imagevision]

28. Rachel is a sweetie (with brains to boot!)

[GregD]

29. anyone know of an online link?

[JayFredMuggs]

31. You may have to wait for Youtbube clips tomorrow

Probably!

[malik flavors]

32. It should be on the countdown website once it's over.

[Raine]

30. She's GREAT

I really like her, I hope she gets her own show. :thumbsup:

[SeattleGirl]

33. I love it!

She was a bit nervous at first, but she's doing great!

:applause: :applause: :applause: RACHEL!!!

[TheDonkey]

38. She just said she was "spectacularly nervous" introducing the #3 segment. That was cute

She's getting more comfortable. This is her first time and she's doing very well, better than the last KO sub. Good job RM!

[jenmito]

36. I hope she does the "Worst Persons in the World" segment. The subs never do that for some reason.

[malik flavors]

39. I think that's because Keith personally writes those.

[jenmito]

41. He's very talented! I wonder who writes the rest of his shows!

[Berry Cool]

42. He writes at least part of them.

He used to write everything he did on SportsCenter. And on Countdown. He just tries to write less of it now.
