Earlier this year, MSNBC host Ed Schultz was moved by MSNBC President Phil Griffin from his 8:00 p.m. weekday time slot to a weekend show at 5:00 p.m. On Monday, it was announced he would return to weekdays at 5:00 p.m. The Daily Caller has exclusively obtained emails between Schultz and Griffin that led to Monday’s announcement.
The exchange is reprinted here for the for time, in its entirety, and without comment.

Fil,
Fil,
I’m starting to believe that the 5:00 pm time slot on Saturday and Sunday is not the promotion you led me to believe it was and would like to move back to my weekly time slot.
It is my understanding that the queer you replaced me with is not working out and certainly not drawing the type of American man that I brought to the network. Holy hell Fil, the 8 to 10 pm time slots are hosted by a virtual Three’s Company, with Rachel being Jack Tripper!!!
Whatever problems you may have seen with me hosting a weekly show, I promise I can rectify them.
First, I’ve gone to a doctor to take care of my drooling problem. That should no longer be an issue.
Secondly, I know the make-up ladies complained that I would often come to make-up room pantless. I now see why this can be viewed as inappropriate by women who come from a certain background and I promise I will no longer conduct myself that way unless explicitly asked to by the make-up ladies.
Finally, I’m willing to work for even less than what you pay me now. I’m a team player.
You got to put me back in prime time, Fil. America needs to hear big Ed’s truth.
Your buddy,
Eddie Schultz
