Watching Luke Russert sit in for Andrea.

I wonder if he walks into the barber shop and says: "Make me look like a Lego character", or if that's the same haircut Big Russ used to give him in the 4th grade.

Here he's depicted as a bullshit shoveler



Andrea Mitchel has the day off, and the producers are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Your descriptions are right on target.

Talentless, inept, smug.

And, yes, he's definitely smug.

Going to Redbox to rent the classic "Bride of Frankenstein" and accidentally getting "Ernest Goes To Camp".

I really didn't want that lunch date, know what I mean Vern?

The boat was in the Alexandria waterfront area and he was announcing which bars were having "hurricane" parties.

From what I read here whenever he's on an actual program it sounds like NBC should limit him to weather detail.

TV is the one place where, if you are #2 or lower and not the main host, you WANT to work the holidays for the screen time.
This means NBC's future looks bright for Tim's boy.
Whether he deserves it or not.

He's way less qualified than his Dad. I predict he'll have his own show soon.

The ONLY reason he has that job is because of his worthless hog of a father, Tim Russert.

Somewhat lacking in substance. I predict that he will have his own show soon. The high point of his "career" will be achieving mediocrity.

The son of the biggest corporate whore in news history is sitting in for the wife of the man most responsible for the economic recessions of the last twenty years.

Gotta love M$NBC!
