MSNBC is canceling Joy Reid’s program “The ReidOut” as part of a major shakeup, Fox News Digital has learned.
Reid’s 7 p.m. ET program will be replaced by a show featuring Symone Sanders-Townsend, a former spokesperson to Vice President Kamala Harris, Alicia Menendez, the daughter of disgraced former Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J. and RNC Chair turned MSNBC host Michael Steele, according to a source familiar with the plans.
Reid will host the final “ReidOut” this week.

“The ReidOut” cancelation won’t be the only change at MSNBC.
MSNBC’s new president, Rebecca Kutler, is planning to announce additional programming changes across dayside, weekends and primetime, a source familiar with the plans told Fox News Digital.
Jen Psaki, current host of “Inside with Jen Psaki,” is expected to end up with more airtime. Alex Wagner, who was bumped from hosting a primetime program when Rachel Maddow pivoted from hosting her show once a week to nightly for the first 100 days of the Trump administration, will remain with the network as a correspondent but is not expected to host a 9 p.m. ET program going forward.
MSNBC declined comment when reached by Fox News Digital.
JOY REID SAYS BLACK WOMEN NO LONGER INTERESTED IN ‘SAVING AMERICA’ AFTER BETRAYAL BY WHITE FEMALE VOTERS
“The ReidOut” has recently struggled to attract viewers, averaging only 973,000 total viewers during February 2025 compared to 1.3 million during the same month in 2024, marking a 28% decline.
Reid has become infamous for anti-Trump rhetoric and controversial moments.
Following the presidential election in November, Reid declared Black women lost interest in “saving America” as they grappled with the betrayal of White female voters who had a stronger-than-expected turnout in support of President Trump.
Last month, Reid compared the efforts of the Trump administration to deport illegal immigrants and his policies in general to the Holocaust and Hitler’s Germany.
One of the most shocking events in recent media history came in 2018 when Reid famously claimed that homophobic comments on her old blog, “The Reid Report,” were not written by her in a story that stunned the TV news industry. She blamed hackers and claimed to enlist the FBI to investigate her implausible claim, but she became emotional on air when her story fell apart.

The MSNBC host then admitted it was unlikely she was hacked, but claimed that she didn’t recall making the offensive remarks, for which she apologized anyway. The bizarre ordeal made her a punchline to many, but she continued to rise up MSNBC’s ranks and emerged as one of the network’s most prominent liberal pundits.
