(8,136 posts)I'm sooooooooo happy for you. I'm watching her show now-DVR'd from just a little over an hour ago (Mon. 10/7) and she mentioned she's in L.A. which is where I live. Obviously, I wasn't able to get tickets.
I've been a fan of hers when I first discovered her on Air America. I worked at a career college and my hours were 1 p.m. - 10 p.m. I'm normally a morning person but the job was a great opportunity so I took it. Also, it was about an hour from where I lived with no traffic. Anyway, her show aired at around 10 at night. There was also a guy on the show named Kent who was kind of a side-kick but it was mainly her show. It was in the early 2000's and no one had heard of her. That program made my drive home a delight! She was amazing even way back then.
I actually predict that someday there'll some kind of "Rachel Maddow Excellence in Journalism" award given to those who excel in this arena.
