Ah, OK, this is nice. I've watched her and wondered how she'd fit in, "in Brian's shoes", and repartee with panelists.
My take is that she is smart, "feisty" (is that sexist?), let's say a nice blend of tough, pointed, and - gotta say - "snarky", or with a bit of skeptical attitude. And she meshes well with the first-string panelists. So.... Congratulations to her, and for viewers, voila.

Here is the entire farewell from #Brian Williams

Brian Williams - NBC/MSNBC veteran anchor retires: His Farewell and Hopes

Aside from his being an institution for many (retiring, not dead!) this is an exceptionally poignant reflection on where we are as a nation, at this moment, and how important it is to remember what we have been and stood for... Humbly noting how "we" is he, his crew, and all of us "woke" to reality....

I posted a brief excerptI saw posted but this is the whole (3-minute) farewell as, like Lina Wertmuller's adventurers, are Swept Away...

Sniff sniff....

Goodbye 1th Hour with Brian Williams
From staunch, arrogant, and humbled anchorman to panel-master and sardonic humorist in difficult times, you will be missed.
(Maddow going too, Cuomo gone, turnover in the cable news/analysis ranks. Age 61, he got some mighty praise from historians and journalists on his last show tonight. Not shuffled off his mortal coil, only leaving TV-land to explore life. Hope he keeps his humor!

And the other loss (amid a very bad time in general for losses) was in fact a death, but at a ripe old age: Lina Wertmuller, one of my favorite directors in the day, student of Fellini who had her characters jumping off the screen and captivating, as with one all-time favorite, Swept Away, with two great actors and a sharp look at both sexism and classism with a "spoiled rich bitch" tourist barking orders to an "ignorant fisherman" on a yacht, until they are shipwrecked. An epic battle ensues, and an exposition on both natural order (alphas, love, and romance) and the human spirit. Fine movie. Great film-maker. Rest in peace, end scene... swept away into cinema history.
