Wow. Joy Bayhar's show was so bad I had

to turn it back to MSNBC.

The only reason I can think of Current using substitute hosts this week is to try them out.

This brings me to ask, why not Randi?

I have heard Stephanie say that she tripled the ratings and the use of radio talent on Current looks to be a good one. I think Randi would be the choice to take over serious news and commentary at the 8 pm slot because she is equally good on that end of the talk show spectrum.

I can't get into Joy outside of The View. If Current is thinking about this as a replacement, I will be switching back to Big Ed on MSNBC.

She is subbing this week but will be getting her own show. Not sure when it is starting. Sorry to hear that her show wasn't good - we need a good line-up of liberals on that network. However, she did say that it would not be all politics - said she couldn't do that all the time.

15. Behar had her own show on HLN or something. She was really good on that.

and I thought it was okay. I think Current could definitely use someone like Behar in their lineup because she's a big name personality who can bring more eyeballs to that channel. One of the main reasons why Current hasn't had so many viewers is because not enough people know about it.

...heard her say several times how very uncomfortable she is on video, and how natural on radio.

who had fully months to develop a 90 minute presentation. I found this self stated former teacher to come completely unprepared and absolutely terrible. She is all mouth with nothing to say in my opinion.

She loves the sound of her own voice which is fingernails on a blackboard to me.

you hit the nail on the head, she simply loves the sound of her own voice and I have the same reaction.

Quite frankly, Current can do better than Joy Behar. Just because someone is liberal, doesn't mean they should be doing a political talk show.
