The Mark Simone show.

On 710 W.O.R.

Hey, what's the day?

Thursday. It's already Thursday. Look at that. We call it Little Friday. It's Thursday today.

We got a lot to get to. We'll get to Nikki Haley, what she's going to be doing for the next

couple of weeks before she's thrown the hell out of the race. We'll get to Donald Trump. He's

going into court today. We'll get to Peter Navarro. This is a very interesting development here.

He's going to be sentenced today. We'll get to Michelle Obama. What's the real story about her getting in the race? What's the real

actual deal there? We'll get to Jeff Bezos, that 60th birthday party. We'll get to Eric Adams.

What a crazy speech yesterday. Hey, we'll get to John Stewart. A lot of people credit him with

seriously damaging America. And if you wonder, what the hell happened? We can't discuss politics anymore. There's no more calm debating. A lot of people point to John Stewart as the turning point where it all went to hell and we'll go over that. The reason we're going to do that, he's coming back to the daily show. But he's not coming back to host it every night. He's copying the Rachel Maddow model. MSNBC doesn't do much in the ratings. They never do much of anything. The only big hit they've ever had is Rachel Maddow. That became a huge hit show. For them, I mean, if it was on Fox, it'd be like the fourth highest

show, but on MSNBC, it's their number one show. And she was so big and so popular on MSNBC

for so many years, she could demand anything. So in the latest contract, she only hosts on Monday.

And then they have, I can't even remember her name.

Somebody else does the rest of the week and gets no ratings.

A little, but not like, so they have a big, big Monday with Rachel Maddow.

And they try to average that out for the week.

And she got this deal.

And how much does she get just to do Mondays?

It's like $25 million a year.

So John Stewart is coming back. But with this model, since he's the king of this show and the only one, the daily show that

can do it, he's only going to do Mondays. And yes, I am plotting on this kind of a deal next time
