MSNBC Fires Three of Their Top Liberal Hosts

MSNBC confirmed Monday that host Jen Psaki will move into a new primetime slot as part of a major network shakeup that also sees the departure of Trump-critical anchor Joy Reid.

Psaki, the former press secretary for President Joe Biden, will assume 9 p.m. EDT duties Tuesday through Friday from current host Alex Wagner, starting in late April, the network announced.

The overhaul, spearheaded by new president Rebecca Kutler, also includes the cancellation of weekend shows hosted by Ayman Mohyeldin, Jonathan Capehart, Katie Phang, and Jose Diaz-Balart,

Wagner will remain at MSNBC as a senior political analyst, The Post added. In addition, MSNBC plans to establish a Washington bureau and bolster its domestic and international correspondent teams as it separates from sister channel NBC News after the spinoff.

Kutler replaced Rashida Jones last month as parent company Comcast prepares to spin off the network along with its other cable properties.

Capehart and Mohyeldin will lose their current weekend shows and transition into new roles. Capehart will now anchor the morning edition of The Weekend, while Mohyeldin will lead the program’s evening edition, The Post continued.

According to the network, Phang and Diaz-Balart, who currently host shows from Miami, have been informed that their programs will end as the network winds down its South Florida-based operations. Phang will remain with MSNBC as a legal correspondent, and Diaz-Balart, who also works for Telemundo and NBC News, will continue anchoring the network’s weekend nightly news broadcast.

As part of the overall revamp, daytime anchors Katy Tur, Ana Cabrera, and Chris Jansing will see their shows either moved or extended, and Ali Velshi’s 10 a.m. weekend show will be expanded from two hours to three hours.
