Donny Deutsch Is “Angry At Anger” On New MSNBC Show
Former CNBC host Donny Deutsch is filling in on MSNBC as 3pmET anchor all this week, with a show titled America The Angry.
The first couple minutes of the show ended up serving as a monologue/mission statement for the program, with Deutsch dramatically urging viewers to stop with all the anger.
After introducing the show, Deutsch went into a speech about how “It is your fault!” – mimicking the various people, places and circumstances Americans are blaming for their problems. They ranged from “It’s Fox, it’s MSNBC, they’re ruining everything,” to “It’s Tiger Woods, he let me down, Tiger how could you do that?”
And the big conclusion:
This is the best damn country ever. We’re a country of rugged individuals. I believe in us, I believe in you, I believe in I. Stop pointing! We still have a pretty damn good thing going here. Let’s get to work. Enough with the anger. I’m angry with anger.
“I’m angry with anger” – that deserves to be on a T-shirt or something. Also, if he’s angry with anger, is that anger part of the problem?
The show spent significant time on Goldman Sachs (with CNBC guests like Jim Cramer and Trish Regan) as well as the tea parties. Also showing up was former FNCer Page Hopkins, as the newsreader. It’s an interesting idea for a show, that will get fleshed out further as the week progresses. And with a couple hours still left to fill permanently, this could have a spot in the MSNBC daytime line-up if it materializes.
Here’s the opening:
