What happened to the Friday news quiz?
That was one of my favorite parts of the show. Why did it disappear?

1. Nobody knows.
It's one of those deep dark msnbc secrets. It did disappear a few weeks before Tucker Carson's show premiered, and the theory at the time was that Bowtie Boy's new show was going to be "quiz-like," but that has turned out not to be the case.

So, nobody knows, and it IS much missed. Maybe Monica is too busy?

3. I was the one who came up with that theory, and I was wrong.
But the quiz sure did disappear suddenly and without explanation of any kind, which was extremely strange, after they had built it up to be the highlight of every Friday show.

It's a mystery. :shrug:

8. The Top 5 got dumped, too.
But notice, when it vanished, no one seemed to miss it!

5. Hi, Merwin!
Welcome to the KOEB. Estrogen is optional, but snark is required. :hi:
