Plus, the additional airing will give another opportunity for those of us who fall asleep during the show to eventually catch it all.

It was great to have Keith back at 5 pm last night, although that meant that the 9 pm rerun was during Medium. (You would have to live in Mountain Time in a state that does not go on DST to fully appreciate how this works - network programming an hour earlier to begin with, etc.)

I still maintain that I fall asleep during Countdown as I can let down my guard of Save the Republic as Keith is on the job.

Fascinating new schedule programming notes. Thanks, Gilbert.

In the part above on David Gregory they failed to note his appearance with Keith on one of the Election Night anchoring jobs. I also notice that Tucker is being eased out. I guess that he can continue as their McCain expert.

And, I have to wonder if David Shuster did not do himself out of a chance at one of these slots with his ill timed remark.

The use of “eunuch” and “spurts” (not “sports”) in the same sentence made me shudder in revulsion.

From proimdb.com regarding the CINE Awards:

“Winners of the CINE Competition will be asked to participate in foreign competitions as official U.S. contribution. ”

I hope Keith goes global.

Wow, while we’re not dwelling on the word “eunuch” can we also not dwell on “spurts”? O_o
