If you’re a political junkie like me you may be looking forward to the new show coming to MSNBC in February. The host of this show is Melissa Harris-Perry whom many of you have seen on shows like Rachel Maddow, The Ed Show and Politics Nation with Reverend Al Sharpton.

Melissa is a Professor of Political Science at Tulane University and also is a columnist for the Nation magazine.  CNN and Fox News better watch out; MSNBC has been making some great moves lately when it comes to understanding what is going on in the political world.

Melissa’s new show will follow the Chris Hayes show “Up” which is on Saturday and Sunday mornings. “Up” has been on for a short while now and I’m hooked. I like the idea that MSNBC will be moving the Saturday show  time slot to 8AM rather than 7AM for “Up”.

Melissa said, “All I’ve ever wanted to be is a teacher. Phil Griffin and MSNBC are giving me the chance to have a much bigger classroom. I’m particularly excited to join the growing weekend lineup where we have a chance to take a longer and broader view of the week’s political news.”

If you’ve never watched Melissa before please tune in and give her a view. She is a great teacher and can explain politics in a way that everyone can understand. She is not loud or rude like many of the political hosts on the Fox News Channel.

We wish you luck on your new show, Melissa.

Show time is Saturday and Sunday at 10AM starting February 18^th .
