MSNBC cancels Joy Reid show in major shake-up

MSNBC is canceling Joy Reid’s evening news show as part of the network’s overhaul under the new presidential administration.

Reid’s final show is planned for sometime this week, a source familiar with the changes said.

She’s hosted “The ReidOut” on MSNBC since 2020, discussing political news and events. Reid has also anchored “The Reid Report” and “AM Joy” for the network in the past.

The network declined to comment on the changes.

Symone Sanders Townsend, Michael Steele and Alicia Menendez, who currently host the network’s “The Weekend,” will now be anchoring in Reid’s 7 p.m. slot, sources at MSNBC said.

The source emphasized that the changes are not only going to impact Reid’s show. Jen Psaki will reportedly be anchoring one of the week’s prime-time hours.

Alex Wagner, who hosts “Alex Wagner Tonight,” will not be returning to the prime-time spot after taking on special assignment reporting opportunities. The source said Wager will remain with the network as a correspondent.

The changes come just more than a month after Rashida Jones said she would be stepping down from MSNBC. Rebecca Kutler, who previously served as senior vice president of content strategy, replaced Jones.

Kutler, a 20-year veteran of CNN, told MSNBC leaders said the year ahead was going to be both exciting and challenging.

“We have a new company, we have new leadership, we will have new offices, and we have a non-stop news cycle,” Kutler said, according to a source familiar.
