Note: This is the debut of Chuck D's new show On the Real. Chuck D, Lizz Winstead and Rachel Maddow hosted the gone but not forgotten Unfiltered. If Air America wanted to extend an olive branch to those still smarting over the cancellation of Unfiltered, they could bring Lizz Winstead back on the airwaves with her own show.
From the home page, we'll again note this item on Chuck D's show:
