MSNBC Cancels Joy Reid's 'The ReidOut' in Major Programming Shake-Up
MSNBC has canceled Joy Reid’s evening show, The ReidOut, as part of a broader programming reshuffle under the network’s new leadership. The decision, led by MSNBC’s newly appointed president, Rebecca Kutler, marks the end of Reid’s 7 p.m. ET program, which has aired since 2020. Her final episode is scheduled for this week, with her time slot set to be replaced by a new show featuring a trio of hosts: Democratic strategist Symone Sanders-Townsend, journalist Alicia Menendez, and former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele.
Reid’s staff reportedly learned of the cancellation through media leaks rather than directly from MSNBC leadership, leading to a tense and emotional meeting with network executives. Staffers expressed frustration over the lack of direct communication. Reid, who has been with MSNBC since 2014, is one of the network’s most prominent Black voices, and her departure has sparked mixed reactions.
Liberal commentators and colleagues have lamented the loss of Reid’s platform, with some criticizing MSNBC for sidelining diverse voices. Journalist Elie Mystal credited Reid with elevating Black voices in media, calling her “indispensable.” Meanwhile, conservative figures celebrated the cancellation, with some accusing Reid of promoting divisive rhetoric. Former FCC chairman Ajit Pai sarcastically remarked on her departure, while Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) claimed the move was a response to declining viewership.
The shake-up comes amid broader changes at MSNBC, including the removal of Alex Wagner from her weekday evening spot and the departure of former president Rashida Jones. The network’s restructuring reflects an effort to revamp its programming lineup, though critics argue it risks alienating its progressive audience. MSNBC has not publicly commented on the decision.
