    Ari is a definite "watch"

    It's Ari's personality! Sincere, really wants to know the answers to his questions, lets guests finish their sentences, knows what he is talking about and how to examine the topic. REALLY like this host and the show!

    a lawyer who likes rap

    Imagine being locked into a room with a lawyer rattling off legal arguments with no emotion or in fact any human attributes at all - and you can't get out. That's Ari Melber's dinnertime show on MSNBC. Best not to have it on while you are eating dinner if you hope to digest your food.

    It gets worse. Ari likes rap music or Hip Hop which is the only thing he shows any emotion for and he adeptly works it into his news coverage and interviews. A good example of this was a recent interview with Tom Hanks that was a complete disaster culminating in Ari playing rap lyrics to Hanks in an attempt to prove some sort of rap connection to Hanks? Say what?

    Sorry counselor - you lost your case.

    Host substitutes hard to watch

    I especially appreciate Ari's legal analysis and related guests. His delivery of facts requires no hype. Too many of our citizens are not aware of the serious abuses that are undermining our Justice branch of government or are aware of those champions who are risking their personal wellbeing to bring accountability to our political criminals.

    However, Ari's substitutes are putting on a squeaky, loud yelling show that I cannot abide. Emotional, extremist type hype is an inappropriate delivery method of legal news and information. I resent Jason Johnson yelling at me in my own living room.

    I expect the MAGA party is doing everything possible to shut Ari's show off.

    Nothing New

    Has anyone noticed how frequently Ari repeats all his stories over and over again. Sounds like not much research and preparation for his show. Unlike Rachel, Ari repeats everything you already know and have already heard. Even the legal issues on breaking news is better delivered by others on MSNBC. Seems like he tries to waste as much time as he can because he has nothing original to report or discuss. I used to love watching his show. Now I find myself fast forwarding through 75% of his show. I will soon drop the show altogether. Also, very tired of his hiphop junk...is that what he gets 3 million for?

    Too much pontificating!

    I've grown increasingly tired and disappointed with Ari. He talks way too much. He is too full of himself. He acts like my most annoying Professors at Brown- arrogant in showing off that they were smarter and wittier and more hip than their students.

    Please turn it down 25%, Ari. It is becoming difficult watching your 6:09 pm show- which I used to love. Now I barely make it through 30 minutes before throwing the clicker at my screen in frustration.

    MSNBC needs to arrange an intervention to shake up Ari. I'm confident the network can willingly get many viewers to participate. Ari is brilliant and charming. Just too much!
