[HughMoran]

4. Cenk is really sub-par, why not just call Jane Hamster? nt

11. since you won't be watching, may I please inform you the alternative you speak of...

is not a wise choice.

[HughMoran]

12. You mean turning off the TV?

I think it's a much more productive use of my time.

[Divine Discontent]

13. ha! quiet thought is a good thing, I'll agree.

21. I agree with you there.

I think you should eat rat poison, too.

[valerief]

25. HA!

:ROFL:

[subsuelo]

23. I like Cenk. Why don’t you?

(I'm honestly curious, not trying to start some battle here)

[no limit]

27. Asking HughMoran for a reasonable explaination is like asking to be bipartisan with republicans

He doesn't like Cenk because Cenk doesn't kiss democrats ass. To people like him you eighter support this president and his party each and every time or you're an asshole.

[no limit]

26. You're a sad sad creature.

[Capitalocracy]

3. Awesome. K&R nt

[NorthCarolina]

7. Cenk is great, look forward to it. K&R nt

9. The haters are gonna hate

but my money's on Cenk. The ratings will speak for themselves. TYT Army is too strong!

[jennied]

29. +1 - I agree

I've never heard a true or decent argument from someone that doesn't like Cenk. Most of the time they've just heard small snippets from him that are out of context - or a few things they don't like. I don't agree with Cenk 100% of the time, but that's okay. He's one out of just a handful of people that are bringing truth to the media. TYT is growing so fast it's making my head spin. WTG, Cenk.

[Bitwit1234]

10. I think he is telling us just what it is.

I now he likes President Obama but he is truthful in telling us how Obama has let us that supported him, down.

[denimgirly]

39. Many on DU feel the same..we like Obama but our hearts are Broken.

Cenk is the same and so its nice to see someone voice it on national tv.

[JDPriestly]

14. Thanks, I hope someone will post a link here on DU for

those of us who do not have cable.

16. TYT's web show Suffers when he Leaves to MSNBC usually.

Just my personal experience....their live webcast isn't as good when Cenk is away.

They've tried to rectify this by having Cenk Skype in each day while in New York but its definitely not hte same since usually they have Ana Kasparian take over as lead host. Ana is good at her gossip hour but anything beyond this is not advised. I think the TYT crew have realized this and is probably why they've been having Ben Mankowitz take over as head host/anchor...its an improvement for sure. Surprisingly the chemistry between Ana and Ben is fun to watch.

It's nice to see Cenk and TYT becoming more recognized. Cenk even anounced they are going to be building a new set! The money is rolling in!

It seems that MSNBC is starting to want Cenk more and more and as this happens the main TYT brand will begin to decline..which is a shame. I think the only way to save it (in its current form) is if Cenk decides to move the entire program to the East Coast but i doubt Ana, Ben, Jesus, and Jarar will trek the permanent distance with him. Since that will never happen my guess is Ben M. will probably become a more permanent staple on TYT if Cenk's MSNBC career continues to grow.

So i guess we wont be seeing Cenk in TYT's set until December :( I just despise their Skype method...Cenk takes a backseat and let whoever is hosting do most of the talking. Cenk is best when he is at the head.

Well, congratz nonetheless.

[ihavenobias]

17. TYT is not going away

It's Cenk's baby and we're pretty much all willing to move assuming something comes up to make that necessary. We know the Skype situation isn't ideal but it's temporary (and that might improve, stay tuned).

At any rate, thanks for the honest feedback.

20. Cenk has done a great job, subbing.

Maybe he'll be next to get his own time slot?

[denimgirly]

38. Easily the Most Passionate Standout on MSNBC -- Others have been less and got their own Show

The only thing that might prevent Cenk is that he is extremely passionate and doesnt hold back on his beliefs...remember, it's all about access and why anchors tend to avoid asking tough questions....Cenk seems to not care and want to call people out even if it risks alienating corporate-sellout guests from coming onto his show (such as the President, himself)....however, if MSNBC's ratings for Cenk are good throughout November while he is being himself then they may take that risk and give him his deserved slot.

So far, Cenk's last attempt for a slot @10PM failed and went to O'Donnell and i have to say, i am really enjoying Lawrence....MSNBC's primetime 8-11pm slot is very good. I just wish Cenk woudl get the 7pm but likely Tweety will resist and give 5pm only.

[burning rain]

22. [K & R] Excellent news!

I hope there will be an Alan Grayson tribute sometime. (Release the Grayson!)

Looks like Cenk's on the track of frequent subbing before getting an hour of his own, similar to Lawrence O'Donnell earlier. That's great~I love Cenk~but I'd really like to see MSNBC do something else. They should scrap Morning Joe in favor of a 6-9am EST Young Turks show, which, I'm sure, would draw much higher ratings.

[julian09]

24. Put Cenk in the 7PM slot that Chris Mattews has

Keep Chris in the 5pm slot speculating about Palin for the next two years.

[burning rain]

34. As a senior guy at MSNBC, I bet Tweety would keep the 7pm slot & cede the 5pm to Cenk.

.

[denimgirly]

35. Agreed. But as the prior Reply said..Tweety will prolly only give up 5pm...But hey at least its

something.

[no limit]

28. Holy sheet! That is awesome news. He's gonna have his own show soon

congratulations to Cenk and the rest of the TYT crew. You guys deserve it.

[Dinger]

31. I Hope So :)

:)

[denimgirly]

36. Yea if his ratings are consistent throughout all of Nov. He is likely to get the 5pm slot

[denimgirly]

37. I guess Ben M. will take over as TYT's new Permanent Anchor..He's a Good Choice.

Assuming Cenk gets a permanent stay on MSNBC (likely the 5pm slot) i assume Ben Menkiwicz will become TYT's new Lead. One thing i liked was having Ana co-anchor alongside Ben. I know Ana doesnt know much about politics but for the 3 hour duration of the show i think maybe 1-hour is typical Ana hour, and another 30mins should be with Ben/Ana doing general politics and then the remaining 1.5 hours can be Ben doing the full out politics on his own.

[alsame]

30. Good news. K&R.

[julian09]

32. He is on right NOW

[alsame]

33. Yep, I'm watching. So far all segments have been great. nt
