Rachel Maddow let drop on her Air America Radio show today that she will be substitute hosting Countdown for Keith Olbermann tomorrow (Friday)!
It was cute. She admitted being really nervous about it, and not getting sleep for the last couple of nights. You'll do great, Rachel!
KO then made a mysterious allusion to it on his show tonight, but she had already let the cat out of the bag.
My immediate thought was, perhaps the powers that be at MSNBC have realized that David Gregory's show replacing Tucker SUCKS and are giving Rachel this opportunity kind of as a test run for her own show! At least, I hope so!
What do you think?
UPDATE: Since KO himself has deigned to comment here, I'd like to point out that at least one person on MSNBC is seeing what the general tastes and opinions about their shows are, at least here at DKos. So carry on!
UPDATE II: redtex below suggests that we all watch tomorrow's show then make sure to email MSNBC afterwards with all our glowing reviews. Great way to show our support for Rachel!
