Joy Reid is leaving MSNBC as the network cancels her evening show

Reid's namesake show, “The ReidOut,” has been a fixture of MSNBC's evening programming since 2020. In the hourlong newscast, held on weeknights at 7 p.m. E.T., Reid conducts interviews with politicians and other newsmakers — diving into an extensive array of political issues and intersections between race, culture and social justice.

Reports about MSNBC cancelling “The ReidOut” emerged online over the weekend, sparking outrage from supporters of the show, who point to the impact it's had on elevating historically marginalized voices in today's media landscape. MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler later confirmed Reid's departure on Monday afternoon in a memo to staff, viewed by The Associated Press.

“Joy Reid is leaving the network and we thank her for her countless contributions over the years," Kutler wrote.
