The Megyan deal was like picking up a 32 y/o former star with a bad hammy 2 years into a bloated 8-year deal. I think that's worked out maybe once.
I loved Wagner, wish they had never let her go. Joy deserves it, but her show is like the only political show that gets eyeballs on Saturday so I think they want her there (as opposed to round-the-clock Lockup eps all weekend). Ari is outstanding and will be good, but I think the problem is simply that most of the country isn't even home from work yet during that time slot, and those who are are eating dinner, doing homework with kids, etc, and Wolf seems to still have a following as well. They've had more than a few different people in there and no one has been able to make it very long compared to the primetime guys.
