It’s Fast MONEY (you did it on Thursday too :p)
Regarding FM, it looks like the 8pm timeslot is not kind to the show at all. During the summer it pulled in below-average #s, and once again this week it did pretty poorly (even for a Friday evening). I guess they should reconsider another timeslot.

Olbermann finished 3rd again, especially when it was him live vs fill ins at FNC?
I guess he’ll have to do more fat jokes and send himself more Tide in the Mail.

Saturday Night Live did a great skit on Nancy Grace. did you happen to see it craig henry? Funny stuff…
She has now been reduced to a joke, a caricature (sp?).
Her ratings will rise again, it seems now there is another missing white female, college student in Vermont. That went with a “male” after bar hopping…
Fox, CNN, HLN, MSNBC, will all now be reporting on the latest missing white female…..move over Beth Twitty, Natalee is now on the back burner, there’s a new drami-tragi family in town. Yes, the cable networks and their selective “caring”. If she was a black ,asian,hispanic college student………well..you know…….no one in the media would give a flip…………..
