Cenk Uygur to Host ‘Countdown’ Tonight
By Tina Dupuy on October 19, 2010 9:08 AM

<snip>

Host of the YouTube phenom The Young Turks, Cenk Uygur will host his first prime time spot on MSNBC tonight. Keith Olbermann will have the night off and Uygur will be filling in for him. The last fill-in host for Olbermann, Lawrence O’Donnell, now has the 10pm slot on MSNBC. O’Donnell was also an Angeleno and was giving a gig in New York. Can’t these people find talent on their own damn coast?
