Ed Schultz just said that the radio show will go on. He's a bit choked up over the whole thing.

Said that as he sat in the office of the President of MSNBC last night, he and his wife were hoping that this wasn't an April fools joke.

"The Ed Show" starts Monday at 6 pm.

1. So, he's moving to New York? That kind of sucks. nt

6. Not sure about that.

I think he has an apartment in DC, as well as the family home in rural Minnesota. The DC location was supposedly a strategic decision to be near the "newsmakers," and it was working pretty well along those lines. He has (or had) been doing radio programs from the Center for American Progress studios in Washington. Maybe they're rethinking that? Don't know.

2. It is sort of a Cinderella story in a way though. Guy has worked many

years at his craft in podunk country, garnered a good following and is being rewarded for it. Good for him and his family. What a culture shock they'll be in for....LOL.

3. But what about Buck?

A big dog, used to the outdoors--he wouldn't be happy in New York City.

4. That's smart, keep the "day job"

Other radio guys' haven't always made the transition successfully.

5. So so cool. I am so happy for him.

7. choked up? he probably has a ham and a turkey stuck in his gullet

8. He's sorry, he just loves his country so much.

9. It was more of a slight emotion. Not a Beck acting job. nt
