Luke Russert - HUhhh?

[titaniumsalute]

He just said usually VPs speak during prime time at conventions and he will not be doing that tonight. Then he said he'll be speaking in the 9pm hour. The 9pm hour is smack dab in the middle of TV Prime Time. (Remember that little show called Seinfeld on at 9:30pm?)

[gordianot]

1. He could get a job as a replacement NFL referee news does not suit him. n/t

[FSogol]

2. Luke Russert is allowed to stay up until 11:00 pm even on school nights!

3. "Seinfeld" was time-shifted for broadcast...

Biden's speech, if at 9:00 P.M. Eastern time, will be on at 7:00 Mountain and 6:00 Pacific -- out of prime-time for half the country.

[Drunken Irishman]

4. 7:00 is primetime in the Mountain region...

I've always considered The Simpsons a primetime cartoon and it's always started at 7:00 in my neck of the woods. Same with every other network weekday lineup.

6:00 isn't, of course, but the Pacific isn't half the country.

9. 9 PM central time will mostly find me in bed

Sometimes I make exceptions though

[Panasonic]

21. Yes.. Colorado's primetime starts at 5pm

and we don't go to bed until after 11pm MDT.

[WinkyDink]

22. North Carolina happens to be in the East.

5. Could someone forward this to Luke, please.

I would have thought he would already know this, being Tim's boy and all. But we should try to be helpful where we can.

6. "Prime Time" is different right now

The networks don't start showing the convention until 10pm.

Biden will be speaking after 10pm. Count on it.

[Jennicut]

7. In 1992, Gore and Clinton spoke on the same night. It's not like it has never been done before.

And NBC will have two hours of coverage tonight since it had none last night.

[Floyd_Gondolli]

8. He should be paying his dues at a small affiliate

But when you're born to privilege I guess that's all you need. He's very green and not obviously talented.

[JoePhilly]

15. Small time affiliate ... In Afganistan.

[hifiguy]

18. Alternate fill-in weekend sports guy

on a 5000 watt radio station in East Jesus, North Dakota would be a great place for him. Maybe he could grow up to be Ted Baxter.

[lillypaddle]

10. Luke's a twit

I remember when Martin Bashir was trying to get him to express an opinion (don't remember about what), and he would only keep repeating his talking points. Martin good naturedly said, "you're a tough interview, Luke." And Luke said something to the effect of, "yeah, I'm tougher than Michael Jackson, aren't I?" very sarcastically. THAT did it for me, the little smart-ass.

11. What do you expect from a pundit that's not quite ready for Prime Time?

Sorry - I couldn't resist

[KharmaTrain]

12. Notice That Little Luke Is In Washington...

They didn't take him along with the adults to Charlotte. Methinks that was a bit of a slap at his rank in the network hierarchy.

[JoePhilly]

16. I think they should send him to the next Hurricane, or maybe to Afganistan.

[Demoiselle]

17. Perhaps they should send him to the Marianas.

I only mention that worthy archipelago because I heard him refer to them as "The Marinaras" about a week ago. I cannot for the life of me remember why, but I am content to imagine beautiful tropical islands smothered in tomato sauce.

[JoePhilly]

19. Or ... maybe there is a Volcano that is about to erupt ... that would be a good way for Luke

to prove himself.

[riverbendviewgal]

13. The little man

has no intelligence

[Whisp]

14. prime time in the olden days used to be quite different

6 - 8 or 9 or something like that.

maybe Luke is really an olden one in a young, dumb body?

[WI_DEM]

20. Prime time is 8-11 pm or 7-10 central, what he means is (except for NBC)...

Biden will not be speaking when all the networks are covering the convention which is at 10 pm Eastern.
