Jon Fishman Talks Ranked-Choice Voting with Katy Tur

Earlier in the hour, ahead of her interview with Fishman, Tur also traded some Phish (and Kasvot Växt) references with Politico correspondent and fellow Phish-loving news personality Jake Sherman.


MSNBC political correspondent Katy Tur has never been shy about her love for Phish, even when she’s on the air… Especially when she’s on the air… As you’ve no doubt seen and heard over the last couple years, Tur has developed a reputation within the Phish community for sneaking references to the band’s lyrics into her news scripts. Like, all the time… It’s become a fun thing to look out for and joke about with others in the know.

EXCLUSIVE: MSNBC’s Katy Tur Talks Her Love Of Phish & Sneaking Lyrics Into The News

Being a high-profile political correspondent, Katy Tur has spent plenty of time chatting with highly influential politicians and pundits. However, we have a feeling that her guest on MSNBC Live this afternoon will give her a few more butterflies in her stomach than even the most powerful world leaders. On the 2 p.m. EST hour of the news program, Katy Tur will welcome a certain local Maine politician as a featured guest to talk about his recent push for ranked-choice voting in his home state. You may have heard of him. He sometimes goes by Henrietta. Other times he’s Friar Tuck. Earlier this month, he was Bob Weaver. But most people know him as Phish drummer Jon Fishman.

Tune in to MSNBC at 2 p.m. to catch Jon Fishman’s chat with Katy Tur. This should be good…
