Chris Hayes tonight

Will be with a live audience, of which I’ll be a part of!

Yes, I’m fully aware that going to a MSNBC broadcast on a Friday night is either super lame or super cool. I’m fine with either adjective, as I still haven’t settled on whether it’s cool or lame.

were dead news days. All the regulars would be off and second stringers would push puff pieces. There was never any friday night news to speak of.

Until trump. They seem to love to do friday revelations. probably to tee up the sunday talk shows with things he wants them to discuss.

Won't be boring. Have fun.

At least its cool for political nerds like us. You should have some kind of hand signal, gesture or t-shirt so we can spot you. Kind of like the pink hat green shirt guy who sits behind home plate at Cubs games. It was his way of letting his wife know he was really at the games. Anyway, enjoy yourself. Let us know how it goes.

I vote super lame. I don't like his Friday night schtick, as I think he has no talent in front of a live audience. In addition, I think there truly should be a definite divide between news and entertainment.

We had better hold debates in a sound booth then.

I’m (as of now) seated in the front row. Wearing a white shirt with a big front pocket. My right sleeve is rolled up.

I saw his previous live audience shows and he was very good at it. Much better than in studio when he often let himself be gish galloped by gopers.

I’m curious about your bird if you don’t mind sharing. It have a 5 month old Jenday conure named Punch. I hope you had fun at Chris Hayes!

His opening segment was an awesome and concise story telling of the current situation. It was like a TED talk performance. How did it play sitting in the audience?

I watched it, and he’s really in his element live. He also had really good guests. I’m sure you enjoyed yourself. I would have!
