Sometimes when breaking news happens. "Smerconish is next on CNN". Huh? Who? What? Almost makes me wonder if its a paid spot. ( i know thats not true) But I never see this man on any other CNN show as a commentator or anything. I leaves me a scratching my head all these years.Actually, Smerconish provides political commentary in other shows as well, e.g. CNN This Morning or CNN NewsNight.

Also he substituted in the 9pm hour for several initial weeks after Chris Cuomo was fired.
Looks like his absence yesterday was planned in advance.

Interestingly, when they went back to Chris Wallace Show, they resumed it from a mid-segment point that the show would have reached by this time if it went uniterrupted (apparently to imitate its live-ness).
Also, for some reason CNN This Morning today was in 2 separate studios for Victor and Amara - either one of them was out of Atlanta or some issues with Studio H.
