Guest Hosting for Rachel Maddow Tonight: the Lineup is Coming Together

Thank you for all of your great suggestions for tonight's Rachel Maddow show, which I'll be guest hosting. They've been incredible and, as you can see from the emerging lineup, we're listening: Google CEO Eric Schmidt will join me to discuss the ways Obama can harness the Internet to make his administration more effective. Bill Maher will discuss the day's top stories. Newark mayor Cory Booker will weigh in on the impact the economic crisis is having on America's inner cities. And FiveThirtyEight.com's Nate Silver will crunch the latest numbers in the still-pending Senate races. Click here for some real time video of me behind-the-scenes at the show -- and be sure to tune in tonight at 9 pm on MSNBC.

Arianna, Great Job!!!! You need your own show!!!!!!!

I loved you on Rachel's show, Arianna, but you've got to ditch the teleprompter, because it seems to dampen your fabulous style. You're so articulate and animated when you appear on Bill Maher's show, and so good at fielding the unexpected remark. (Could you and Bill do a show as partners?) I especially love the way you don't get swept up in a diverting agenda, but always bring the conversation back to the core questions. We need you to keep us moving in the right direction!!!!!! I'd hate for you to leave the media, but I'd love for you to show what women can do in politics, even though being outside the US is a bit of a limitation.

Great Job Arianna! You are soooo ready for primetime. I really would like you to take over Mourning Joe's spot, but I noticed in a related article that his numbers are going up. How did that happen? It isn't me because I can't stand to watch him (or any of the other morning shows either). C'mon MSNBC let's make it happen!

Opa! Opa! Arianna, you did a great job tonight.

Where's the petition - lets get going - 1st Granny in the White House!
Arianna - I couldn't agree more with you - I've been saying for years that the answer to day-care is to have have senior caregivers and the answer to seniors all alone is to bring the children into their lives.

Nice segment on the First Granny Petition... I'd love to see it, especially after raising three on my own since the youngest was a newborn. Things here in North America are a bit different, tho... if so many grannies here weren't worn out from being more or less the first generation of women 'doing it all' (kids, housework, AND a full time job on the side) maybe more of them would be interested in this traditional arrangement. And, we have this sad cultural fear of in-laws here, which was probably propagated by sitcoms about them, ever since television was invented... anyway, I think things are slowly swinging back in their favor, and Michelle's wonderful mom is helping.

GREAT show tonight... fantastic line-up of guests, too.

Great job, Arianna! Bravo! Bravo!

Great show Adrianna! I agree with many of the comments here... it's time for your own show. That being said, I'm sure you made Rachael proud, and isn't she wonderful too! Very exited about the internet serving this administration in keeping things transparent. It really is a new day!

[Yola]

Excellent job! TV is a great fit for you!

[benwhat]

Wow, I could listen you say the word "Connecticut" all night long. Great job Arianna! Your piece about grandmothers was incredibly touching.

[JustMom]

You did a great job. It's so nice to hear a soft voice that is smart and not yelling. It was a great show.
Thank you

I'm with you Arianna. We should have a "First Granny" in the White House!
