NBC News Head Andrew Lack Instructs Three MSNBC Shows to Put Together "Sizzle Reels" Showing Their Programs At Their Best, Suggesting He May Axe Them

A sizzle reel of Chris Hayes?

The only thing Chris Hayes knows how to sizzle is hotdogs.

But he's been asked to show what his program might look like when, in his estimation, it's not completely unwatchable.

A couple of weeks ago, the executive producers of Now with Alex Wagner, The Ed Show, and All In with Chris Hayes were told to prepare “sizzle reels” of the best their programs have to offer. Theoretically, this exercise will help them identify what works best on their respective shows but, in reality, our sources say, any or all of these shows could soon be on the chopping block. The senior staffs of all three programs, we are told, are now concerned that their days are numbered.

Not on the list of the programs needing of sizzle: Al Sharpton's show, which seems strangely excluded from the list of shows which may be cancelled, especially given, Ed Morrissey writes, the fact that Sharpton seems to be booking labor honchos on the show after they donate to his Clinton-like fake "charity."
