MSNBC Ordered Not to Use Daily Show Interview
March 13th, 2009 at 1:58 pm - by admin
MSNBC producers have been asked to not incorporate any part of the Cramer/Stewart showdown seen last night in to their shows today.
According to an insider report from TVNewser, NBC executives spoke strictly to their producers at the MSNBC subsidiary, requesting that they do not discuss the interview.
Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked, however, on a White House briefing on MSNBC this morning whether President Obama had watched the episode of the late show — Gibbs responded saying he was not sure that he had, but that they had discussed it earlier in the day and that Gibbs personally “enjoyed it thoroughly.”
Additionally, Joe from NBC’s Morning Joe said earlier in the day via Twitter that he would be interviewing Jim Cramer about the episode of The Daily Show this morning, but updated his claim with “No Cramer. Perhaps another example of oversleeping. Guess he had a late night. That is too bad. Producers told he was only talking to us.”
Insiders say that Jim Cramer will discuss the interview and his views of Jon Stewart on tonight’s Mad Money.
