If they lose Brandt (Schrages is probably a lifer there), that show could really fall apart fast. And yeah, some mainstream network could easily poach him. The guy could do just straight up daytime television if he wanted to. Though I do wonder if Burleson isn't sitting there with Gayle King in the mornings thinking "man, I left a cush gig for this?"

Nick Wright's show absolutely nailed chemistry when they got rid of Jenna Wolf. Wildes is goofy, funny, and has an actual personality. He's involved with all of the show-specific jokes and running bits. When he gets crap slung at him by Nick, he doesn't back down and ignore, but he's also not angry or defensive. And that's what enables them to bring on boring ass guests like Mangini and not let all the air go out of the room.
Your anchor needs to do more than just read the questions and tell everybody when it's time to go to commercial. That chick with the nice boobs who hosts Thkyiup and Shannon doesn't do anything. She's not even there. I know Jamie Erdahl is involved in the topics and conversations (so was Kay Adams) but you've got to be able to wear the "it's my segment!" hat and bring the energy when you're on.
