UGH...No Keith again tonight.

[rndmprsn]

love the guy, but he gets more time off than anyone i have ever met.

no offense of course to the guest host

[JTG of the PRB]

1. He's "on assignment."

Whatever THAT means.

[Catherine Vincent]

10. That's his girlfriend's name.

[PCIntern]

2. I'm sure she wouldn't take it that way...

Anyway...I thought she was leaving for NPR...that Monica Novotny is marginally preferable to Allison, IMO, although I like them both...not enough to wear a DIAPER for, of course, but they're OK!

[IDemo]

11. Diapers or not...the new test of a relationship?

"Azztranaut adult diapers, when you're both ready for a change!"

[IDemo]

3. I like Allison

but no, not the same edge to the show without Keith.

[Captain Hilts]

9. I like her too. nt

[Purveyor]

4. Damn. I hate it when that happens... n/t

[tridim]

5. Jon Stewart takes more time off

But I hear ya. Countdown just isn't the same without Keith.

I do like Ms. Stewart though. I thought she left MSNBC a few weeks ago?

[Rick Myers]

6. Allison is the best fill-in...

Hope Keith is OK, he had his voice 'blow out' last week and took a day or two off...

[PCIntern]

7. Allison has the best on-air personality...

but there's something foxy about Monica...she's got that "I know something about me that you'd like to know, but don't and you can't guess..." look...

[Hieronymus]

8. Randi Rhodes takes an awful lot of time off.

[Middle finga]

12. What are you trying to say Liberals are lazy?

[DeepModem Mom]

13. He's done 2 days for NBC at the TELEVISION CRITICS ASSOCIATION meet in L.A.

He's been talking up Sunday Night Football, the AFL-CIO debate he'll moderate on MSNBC, and, one assumes, "Countdown." He did last night's show from there.

[Berry Cool]

14. And Alison said he'll be back again tomorrow night.

He took one day off last week and one day off tonight. He really doesn't take all that much time off.
