MSNBC's "Daily Rundown"


MSNBC’s Daily Rundown is hosted by Chuck Todd and Savannah Guthrie, two charming, smart people.

But they both are obsessed with the word, “quickly” and use it to try and speed up guest’s monologues when time is running out.

They actually mean briefly.

Moreover, no one really speeds up. Guests usually end up speaking more slowly and at considerable length.

Guthrie and Todd have been apprised of their meaningless dictum (or advice) to guests but still insist upon using “quickly” as a panacea for longwindedness.

(They are not alone in using “quickly” to try and get guests to wrap it up but they are more obsessed with the word than other TV anchors and hosts are.)
