ABOUT ZEITGEIST

Willie Geist has maintained since 1996 that the Internet, like the automobile and the television before it, is a fad. He gets his information from microfiche at the public library and communicates with friends through the good old-fashioned United States Postal Service, thank you very much.

So then why is he blogging? Two words: community service. After an ugly incident at his weekly Sudoku game, Willie was sentenced to speak to young people about anger management. He heard that "young people" looked at the Internet, so the blog became his punishment. It's Willie's way of giving back.

In Zeitgeist, you'll find the kind of expert analysis of news and pop culture that has made Willie one of the most beloved figures in American life today (you can look it up). You'll also get raw, behind-the-scenes footage from MSNBC. You'll even get to talk back to Willie. So give the blog a try and catch the Internet fad before it's gone for good.



We'll miss you, Scooter

Former New York Yankees player and broadcaster Phil Rizzuto was one of a kind. What other announcer would leave a game he was calling after the 6th inning because he wanted to beat the traffic? Willie Geist remembers one of baseball's all-time great characters. WATCH VIDEO

I remember years ago.....good ole Phil Rizzuto claimed he was unwittingly duped by singer MEATLOAF.

Holy cow!  Rest in peace!
