Chris Matthews And Keith Olbermann "Hosting" Election Night, David Gregory "Anchoring" (VIDEO)

MSNBC will have hosts AND an anchor on election night, according to Chris Matthew on "Hardball." After Matthews and Olbermann got removed as official election anchors for the final debates, with David Gregory taking the role, the network announced their election night plans as follows:

MSNBC's Election Night coverage kicks off at 5 p.m. ET, anchored by David Gregory with Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow and Eugene Robinson at MSNBC Election Headquarters in New York. "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough will join to provide analysis based on his years of experience in the House of Representatives. Norah O'Donnell will report on the challenges facing the incoming administration...

But Monday Chris Matthews announced he and Olbermann are "hosts":

Please join me and Keith Olbermann as we host MSNBC's election night coverage, and there's nothing like it anywhere else. And David Gregory anchoring."

David Gregory is boring... We started this thing almost 2 years ago with Keith, Chris & Tim and we need to finish it with Keith & Chris...It just has to be...

[Meah]

CSPAN, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, Jon Stewart. I have the remote control, and we will go round and round.
My husband is very easy going and knows that he can't stop me. That's just the way it is!

SO very dizzy!!
OBAMA/BIDEN

[ObamaEdwards]

Shame on MSNBC for running slanderous lying ads about Obama, cobbled together by goptrust. What is the standard? Will you run ANY ad if it's paid for? Come on.

[lisakaz2]

I hope I can see Stewart and Colbert but I'm going to a campaign party so I don't know.

[mpgilmore]

There is a bit of a movement on over at Indecision2008 to try to get the show streamed live on the web internationally. Hope they do it ...

I'm watching PBS while munching on chips and salsa and drinking a wine cooler. Bring it on.

David Gregory married to Beth Wilkinson - she resigned from Fannie Mae a month ago when the government took it over

David Gregory= Unbiased Anchor????­??????????­??????????­??????????­??????????­????

NOT!

[shirleyfeeney]

Not quite sure what this has to do with anything. Andrea Mitchell has been great at keeping her guests from bringing up her husband Alan Greenspan.­..Everyone has a bias, like it or not, from teachers and professors to news anchors and personalities.

[whit4brains]

Andrea Mitchell s.u.c.k.s!

I watch MSNBC . What choice is there for election night? When D. Gregory talks I hit the mute button or give my self a root canel or remove cellulite with a rusty knife without a pain killer before I listen to Gregory or Pat Buchanan . They are making a serious mistake keeping these misinformed jerks on the air. When you know the right people you can get by with no talent or ability...

[Yola]

I thought I was the only one hitting mute when Gregory speaks!

[thatonetoo]

OH NOOOoooo you are definately NOT the only one. It hurts me when I have to filter,but filter I do.
Got the best quacamole/salsa recipes ever and marqarita recipes for tomoorrow. not that I'll get to it since I am relegated to my "heart attack room" till there's a definitive answer.
I'm FREAKING OUT HERE. PEOPLE!!!!!

[gnarlstone]

Gregory needs to go. Ugh, not looking forward to listening to him all night long.

[NeoStar9]

I heard that last night as well. I was all "Alright they're back......­........wa­it a minute". I hope they are hosting it. David Gregory is annoying and boring. It would be one thing if he was decent at his job but he really isn't.

[Budokan]

It's the meds he's on. He doesn't know if he's going or coming anymore.

[ariadne1]

doesn't nbc get it... NOONE wants to listen to david gregory!

[mdmpo]

For all I care you could have David watch at home. Let all the rest host, pundit whatever. Please NO PAT BUCHANAN!!

[agandia]

Ahhh, let them host the show.
Give us Democrats one channel where we can see and hear the hosts gloat.
