Chris Hayes’ #inners await MSNBC’s newest prime-time host

The Twitterverse had some fun with the oh-so-suspenseful announcement of the name of Chris Hayes’ new prime-time show on MSNBC, which premieres tonight and replaces Ed Schultz’s “The Ed Show.” If you thought “All In with Chris Hayes” was worthy of ridicule, just wait until you hear the official hashtag of the show’s followers. If you’re planning on tuning in tonight, you might be an #inner.

Today and every weekday we want the #inners to help us find the 3 awesomest things on the internet that day. Submit w the hash tag #click3

Of course, many #inners are rebranded #uppers, holdovers from Hayes’ morning show, “Up with Chris Hayes.” But “inners”?

@chrislhayes I think you should go with “innies.” Come on. You know you want to.

@jpodhoretz small-d democrat that I am, I am heeding the voting conducted by @wyethwire on Sunday.

Yes, the hashtag was chosen via a Twitter poll that attracted more than 100 votes. Here’s a glimpse at what could have been.

Hashtag votes: #inners: 39 #suppers:26 #innies:24 #allers:21 #allin:8 #hayesies:1 #allinners:1

@chrislhayes @wyethwire this is very disappointing.

— John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) April 1, 2013

@jpodhoretz @wyethwire You should have voted!

— Christopher Hayes (@chrislhayes) April 1, 2013

@chrislhayes @wyethwire I was a low-information voter.

Good one! That’s almost as good as Hayes’ disclaimer that he’s a small-D democrat. We all know that MSNBC simply would not tolerate partisan politics to mingle with journalism. But are viewers ready to accept the will of the majority?

@jpodhoretz @chrislhayes @wyethwire I say #innies. But given your emphasis on diversity, I’m sure you’ll have many outies on the roundtable.

@chrislhayes I will be organizing the dissident caucus that uses #incrowd, or, alternately, #innards.
