Al Sharpton Tried His Hand As MSNBC Host Last Night, Took Shots At Glenn Beck
MSNBC made an interesting choice for guest host last night as Ed Schultz remains on suspension: none other than Rev. Al Sharpton was filling hosting duties. And, while he seemed a bit shaky at times, he got a big boost from the day’s events. Nothing’s going to help endear you to the MSNBC audience like getting to report on the end of Glenn Beck.
Announcing that Beck was “getting ready to get on his high horse and ride into the sunset,” Sharpton began by showing some of Beck’s sillier clips. He then let his guest, Media Matters’ Eric Boehlert, handle most of the more overtly negative comments, content to deadpan about the Fox News host’s “pearls of wisdom.” However, Sharpton did get one good shot in when he said Beck had never been good with “details” before cutting to a clip of he himself being interviewed on the show. In the clip, Beck mistakenly asks if he had ever worked with Martin Luther King, Jr. and Sharpton points out that he was 13 when the man died.
Boehlert and Sharpton briefly speculated on who would fill Beck’s timeslot without coming up with any answers. Oh! How about Sharpton! That’d be a huge hit over on Fox!
