...Rachel Maddow, rhymes with shadow. Not Maddow, rhymes with mad cow, which is how her name has been mispronounced by countless guests on Air America Radio's The Rachel Maddow Show, from Michael Moore to Viggo Mortensen. MSNBC hosts Nora O'Donnell and David Gregory (for whom Maddow has served as a regular panelist) have said her name wrong, as have most of her Air America co-workers, including her frequent co-host David Bender and the big-voiced announcer guy who introduces the show each day from 6 to 9 p.m. ET on Air America affiliates, the network...
