This week goes to Ana! (none / 0)
Nice job for stepping up to the plate Anners, though no matter who the host is, they should definitely be teamed up with someone else.  I thought both Brian and RJ did a great job though I skipped most of the show with Mark and Ben.  I like the Mank-a-tron or whatever you call him Spencer, but I really think he needs to be paired up with someone a little more goofier like Cenk and definitely not a Shure for it to work.  Same goes for Seder; Sam's the man but he shines best when he teams up with his buddy Maron.  

In the end, my favorite combo would be an Ana, Wes Clark, Jr. and Dave Koller set-up with the producer room tossing in some zingers every once in awhile.  If Wes goes off on one of his wild tangents, Dave would be right there to put him in his place.  Also, since Dave didn't get in front of the camera this week, I'd make him sit in the woman's chair on the side.

Lastly,  I was really hoping for a post game this week with Ana, Dave, Jayar, Jesus, and/or Tom.  When Cenk isn't around it seems like everyone loosens up a bit, though that could mean trouble especially if it's followed by an anything goes TYT drinking game!

Agreed (none / 0)

Brian Unger is my favorite, RJ (Richard) Eskow is my second. Brian's post game with Cenk 2 weeks ago when they talked about Cenk's acting roles and "Bashkar and his cronies" is the ONE AND ONLY post-game I have downloaded and watched several times.

 The best guest-hosting team: An(ner is a woman) Kasparian and Jayar (you have a ... on the set) Jackson! When they hosted the third hour over the holidays while Cenk was in Taiwan, it was fantastic.

I CANNOT STAND: Ben Mankiewicz as guest host.... His voice GRATES on my nerves. How can you be a TV host, and an award-winning one at that, if you can't get through two words without saying "uh" or stuttering? I can't figure out how the man has been so successful in a career where one must be able to speak clearly and concisely.  Michael Shure is a close second for last place.

Sex Talk (none / 0)

We had a pretty fun off-air conversation today about sex that would've been perfect for a post game show (how's that for a tease?).

I really enjoyed my recent post game show co-hosting opportunity, although it was completely last minute so I had no idea what the stories were (couldn't prepare) and the earpiece kept falling out so I felt physically stiff and robotic. Meaning I was afraid to move, knowing that the damn thing would fall out of my ear!
