Joy Reid, known for her MSNBC show The ReidOut, is being removed from the network’s primetime lineup, according to multiple outlets. The reason for the cancellation of The ReidOut remains unclear, as MSNBC has not issued a public statement. Joy, who is known for her outspoken criticism of President Donald Trump, faces these changes following the departure of former network President Rashida Jones, with Rebecca Kutler now stepping in as the new President.
This news also comes amid a wave of departures by prominent journalists and news anchors from major cable networks, including NBC’s Hoda Kotb, CBS’s Norah O’Donnell, CNN’s Chris Wallace, Fox News’s Neil Cavuto, and several others.
Insiders revealed to Variety and Deadline that The Weekend anchors Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez, and Michael Steele are expected to take over the 7 p.m. time slot. Joy’s final primetime show is expected to air this week.
