Joy Reid is leaving MSNBC as her evening show is canceled
Joy Reid is leaving MSNBC, the network's new president announced in a memo to staff on Monday, marking an end to the political analyst and anchor's prime time news show.
Reid's namesake show, 'The ReidOut,' has been a fixture of MSNBC's evening programming since 2020. In the hourlong newscast, held at 7 p.m. E.T., Reid conducts extensive interviews with politicians and other newsmakers.
'Joy Reid is leaving the network and we thank her for her countless contributions over the years," MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler wrote Monday. 'Her work has been recognized with several esteemed honors, including most recently, the 2025 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding News Series."
In the coming weeks, Kulter added, rotating anchors will host Reid's hour.
Current hosts of MSNBC's 'The Weekend' — Symone Sanders Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez — will now move to weekdays at 7 p.m. to host a new ensemble news program, Kulter also noted in Monday's memo.
News reports about MSNBC cancelling 'The ReidOut' emerged online over the weekend. Prior to Kulter's memo, Reid took to social media to thank those who she said had reached out to her with messages of support.
'I just want to say thank you to everyone who has reached out with kindness and encouragement, both personally and in these social media streets,' Reid wrote in a message posted to BlueSky and Instagram just after midnight. 'So very proud of The Reidout @joy.msnbc.com team, who are truly family, and all of our supporters & friends. See you tomorrow night at 7, one more time.'

Meghan teases ‘delicious surprises' as she restocks lifestyle brand
The Duchess of Sussex has promised some 'delicious surprises' as she announced a restock of items from her lifestyle brand after some products sold out within an hour. Meghan said the April launch of her As Ever products, including jam and herbal tea, had been 'absolutely extraordinary' and teased buyers they would only have to wait a few days for more items. In an Instagram post, the California-based duchess wrote: 'Oh yes, honey… sweet things await. Mark your calendars for June 20 at 8 a.m. PT – we're bringing back your favorites, plus some delicious surprises you won't want to miss!' In a newsletter, she also wrote: 'First off, a sincere thank you for making the debut of As Ever absolutely extraordinary. 'We had a feeling there would be excitement, but to see everything sell out in less than an hour was an amazing surprise. 'We are pleased to share that on June 20th, we're going live with the products you love – plus, some new delicious surprises.' Earlier this month Meghan said she had decided to 'just pause' restocking her brand, saying she wanted to wait until it is 'completely stable and we have everything we need'. She also spoke of the difficulties of building her firm and 'how many tears' she has shed behind the scenes on a bonus episode of her podcast featuring Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles. Meghan had suggested the 'scarcity mentality at the beginning might be a hook for people', comparing it to 'a sneaker drop'. But she feared it might be 'annoying' for customers, adding: 'I don't want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want that to be on your shelf all the time.' Meghan said: 'So for me at the moment, with As Ever, it was great. We planned for a year we get and then everything sells out in 45 minutes. 'Yes, amazing, great news. Then what do you do? And then you say 'Ok, we planned as best as we could. Are we going to replenish and sell out again in an hour? Or is that annoying as a customer? 'I'm looking at it saying 'Just pause. That happened. Let's wait until we are completely stable and we have everything we need'.' She added how people 'see all the flashy stuff and they see the product. But that end game… those behind the scenes moments, how many tears I've shed'.

Watch the moment Love Island star Shakira's furious mum takes savage swipe at Harry after recoupling
The mum said she 'couldn't sleep' watching her daughter on the show NO LOVE LOST Watch the moment Love Island star Shakira's furious mum takes savage swipe at Harry after recoupling Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island star Shakira's mum has made her feelings well and truly known about fellow islander Harry. As the first week in the villa wound down, Maya Jama returned for spin-off show Aftersun, where she grilled Shakira's mum and sister about what she's been up to in the villa. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Shakira's mum and sister shared their brutal thoughts on the men pursuing her Credit: ITV 6 Shakira's mum said she 'couldn't sleep' while she was with Harry Credit: Eroteme 6 The mum said she feels better with her daughter being with Ben Credit: ITV The pair shared their pride in Shakira so far – and noted the amount of attention she had been getting from the men on the show as she "got grafting" to bag herself a man. Both didn't think too highly about her current match, Ben, who she coupled up with in the latest ceremony, but her mum couldn't hide her dislike of Harry – who was seen jumping out of bed with Shakira for a night in the Hideaway with air hostess Helena. While some fans believed he did it in order to get one up on Shakira, who had shared a snog with Blu earlier that night in the Hideaway before confessing, her mum was not pleased with Harry's antics. So when Maya asked if she thought Harry and Shakira were a good match, her mum didn't hesitate to say no. "Absolutely not," she declared. "I didn't sleep. I, actually, when she ended up back with Ben, that was the best night's sleep I've had in a few days. I prefer him." But Shakira's sister wasn't so convinced about Ben, having previously told Maya: "I'm not a fan, but I feel like they do match each other's break a bit. "I feel like she likes the chase, and because he was, like, so weird with her at the beginning, she kind of liked it and it roped her in a bit." However, her mum was more warm towards Ben, saying: "There must be potential there for it to be that interested." At the third recoupling, Helena opted to couple up with Harry, while Shakira chose Ben. In a brutal twist, Blu and Shea were both left single – and had to choose between themselves who should leave. Shakira and Harry as they can't keep their hands off each other on Love Island When they refused to do so, they then turned to the group, and Blu ended up leaving. However, it seems it may be a decision the gang live to regret, with Shea getting into a heated argument on Monday night's show with Tommy. Love Island continues weekdays at 9pm on ITV2. 6 Shakira has proven popular in the villa Credit: Instagram 6 The stunning star 'got grafting' after her position on the show became vulnerable Credit: Instagram
