Why is Rachel a re-run tonight?

[TomSlick]

If Rachel wanted the night off, was there no one to fill-in? Was there no news? What am I supposed to do for an hour?

1. Doesn't surprise me

They've been rerunning recent shows between Christmas and New Years, because they're on auto-play right now.

2. Come on....

There has to be someone who could fill-in.

I need my RMS!

3. They can relaunch an old Saturday Night Live contest

Anyone Can Host. I'm sure there'd be applications

And the winner...well, they only did it once

[TomSlick]

4. Works for me.

Bring in the third-string writers. Surely someone can read the monitor. It wouldn't nearly be the same but better than a re-run.

10. I can't believe they actually did that.

it seems scrubbed from youtube, but wasn't it a little old midwest lady that hosted?

5. Because it's New Year's Eve?

6. Rachel deserves every minute of time off she desires. She's the best.

Srsly?

8. You used to get Lockup on all the holidays.

It would kick Fox News' ass in the 25-54 demo after 10pm. I'm not kidding either.

9. Check out the bagman podcast (if you haven't already). nt

11. nothing is really happening and ratings would be almost zero on a night like this anyway

it is pretty rare for anyone that does daily shows to be doing them live around the holidays
