Mediaite Gets Shout-Out On Premiere Of CNN’s Rick’s List

Rick Sanchez‘ new two-hour 3pmET program, Rick’s List, premiered today on CNN, and Mediaite made the list.

Luckily, it wasn’t “The List U Don’t Want To Be On” (Danny Glover got that honor on show #1). Instead, it was about the Conan/Leno late night story.

Sanchez explained the “list” concept in an introduction post on his blog:

What “Rick’s List” does is give us the opportunity to compartmentalize stories and people. My Twitter page, twitter.com/ricksanchezcnn, gives you access to the biggest stories of the day and the relevant, newsworthy tweets or comments related to those stories. You can read the list for yourself or watch each day as I choose the comments that stand out. It may be the White House clarifying a quote, a senator criticizing a policy decision, a celebrity making a shocking admission, or even a Twitpic showing the first visuals of a breaking news story as it happens.

The list that Sanchez grabbed from today is his TV list – which Rachel Sklar and I are part of. “These guys in the entertainment business are wanting us to know exactly what’s going on with these wars,” said Sanchez during the show.

Here’s the clip:

*shrugs* Rick called out Glover. That makes him good in my book. It might change though.

Whyyyyyyyyyy so many people are interested in an interracial relationship. black woman want to have fun with white man and black guys want to have fun with white women. There are many sites focusing on this kind of relationships such as [== B l a c k W h i t e R o m a n c e [DOT] c o m_] recommend it here= – [_B l a c k W h i t e R o m a n c e [DOT] c o m_]

CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin: Supreme Court Will Not Overrule ‘Deem and Pass’

by Frances Martel | 5:44 pm, Friday

Bad news for Republicans should they be counting on using the Supreme Court as a last resort to block the Senate health care reform bill. Jeffrey Toobin visited Rick Sanchez today to talk about the chances of success Republicans will have if they try to legally oppose a "deem and pass" vote that would indirectly put the bill on the President's desk, and he didn't waste any time in telling the GOP that, quite simply, it's not going to happen.

CNN’s John King, USA Premieres On Web With Rehearsal Show

by Steve Krakauer | 4:47 pm, Friday

video

There are two very distinct things to note about the way CNN has introduced the upcoming 7pmET show John King, USA to its audience - the show itself and the way it happened. John King hosted a trial run of the program today on CNN.com/live, which gave a sneak peek at what the show will be, but also gave viewers a chance to give their take on the first look.
