And I really wonder if the unfamiliar were wondering who the primped-up lady on the screen was when Leno first said "we'll be right back with Rachel Maddow" after our own Rachel, with the cool sneaks, non-primped look, and dorky glasses.

*g*

btw, I'm a complete non-Leno fan too. When Obama is elected he can expect non-stop barrages of nastiness via Leno (until Conan takes over) starting November 5th!

I truly wish Rachel's chat show debut could have been on Letterman instead. But considering Leno is on NBC and all, I suppose Letterman will have to wait for a bit.

In any case - Go Rachel!
