Sharpton's involvement with MSNBC began after June 29, 2011, when he became the primary substitute host for ''[[The Ed Show]]'', leading to press speculation that Sharpton could attain his own series on the network in the vein of [[Rachel Maddow]] (who attained [[The Rachel Maddow Show (TV series)|her own series]] in 2008 after serving as [[Keith Olbermann]]'s primary substitute host on ''[[Countdown with Keith Olbermann]]''), [[Lawrence O'Donnell]] (who attained [[The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell|his own series]] in 2010 after having served as Olbermann's primary substitute host) and [[Christopher Hayes (journalist)|ChristopherChris Hayes]] (who attained [[Up (TV program)|his own weekend series]] beginning in mid-September 2011 after having served as a regular fill-in for both Maddow, Olbermann, and O'Donnell before attaining [[All In with Chris Hayes|his weekday series]] in April 2013).
