Reid Between The Lines: MSNBC Cancels Joy Reid's Lefty Show As Network Makes Major Shakeup

Posted • February 23, 2025: MSNBC liberal mainstay Joy Reid’s show has been canceled as part of a major overhaul by the network’s new president Rebecca Kutler, according to a report. The 7 p.m. program hosted by ardent Trump critic Reid, 56, will be replaced by a new panel show featuring co-hosts Alicia Menendez, Michael Steele, and Symone Sanders Townsend, the New York Times reported, citing insiders.

Alex Wagner — who has hosted weeknights at 9 p.m. — is also losing her anchor chair after Rachel Maddow returned to five days a week at the network to cover the first 100 days of the Trump administration.
