Why is the Conan O'Brien show on MSNBC now?

[bliss_eternal]

It bugs me that the Repukes get cool stuff... I just assumed that Conan was a Dem and hate seeing his show airing on MSNBC. I hated that they took the day time airing of the show from Comedy Central (or was it on E!?)

Anyone know what's up with this?

1. I read awhile ago he's going to be (is?)

replacing Dennis Miller's failed rant.

2. Is a current show?

They often run re-runs of NBC shows the next day or so, such as the Apprentice. I just hope it doesn't replace KO!

3. Ratings.

NBC knows where their bread is buttered.

4. I believe Conan is on CNBC rather than MSNBC

Either way, I don't see either as "D" or "R," at least not nearly to the extent of FUX "News." CNBC is a business oriented channel, but I haven't seen enough of it to detect a political bias beyond that which is inherent in the business community. I am of course disregarding Kudlow, because he is a nut, and only on for an hour a day.

MSNBC has Scarborough and others, but also has Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman. The latter disses O'Reilly at every possible opportunity, so he can't be all bad.

5. You are right--it IS CNBC and it is re-airing of prior

night's show.

My bad. LOL!
