Sunday was a stronger day than Saturday for The Melissa Harris-Perry Show (with guest host Dorian Warren), as it topped the Cable News Twitter charts with best hour (at 11am). Following MHP was CNN’s State of the Union, Fox’s Judge Jeanine, the 10am hour of MHP, and Up with Steve Kornacki:

You can see that Warren did substantially better than any other show yesterday, and the numbers were impressive for a guest host on a holiday weekend.  (The MHP Show garnered less than 1000 mentions in the 11am hour a week ago and about 3000 mentions two weeks ago, putting Warren’s showing on the higher side).
