MSNBC's Jen Psaki sees 47% dip in ratings last month compared to Alex Wagner, Rachel Maddow: Nielsen
The Psaki bomb has turned into a major Psaki dud for left-leaning MSNBC. The embattled cable news network — which is expected to be spun off by parent company Comcast later this year — has seen ratings plunge nearly 50% in the pivotal 9 p.m. slot since Jen Psaki took over full-time hosting duties from Rachel Maddow last month. The 45-year-old anchor, who made a name for herself with her quick-witted 'Psaki bombs' while serving as former President Joe Biden's press secretary — but has since insisted she never saw signs of his mental decline — has drawn an average of 971,000 viewers since 'The Briefing with Jen Psaki' debuted on May 6 through May 28, according to the latest Nielsen ratings. Advertisement That's a staggering 47% falloff from the eyeballs attracted by Maddow and Alex Wagner in the timeslot. The drop-off is even more pronounced in the critical 25–54 age demographic prized by advertisers, where she drew just 78,000 viewers — a 52% decline compared to the 161,000 that Maddow and Wagner drew during their shows this year. 5 Jen Psaki's prime time MSNBC debut has gotten off to a rough start, according to the latest Nielsen figures. MSNBC Advertisement 'She's kinda boring. She's not a great broadcaster,' one media insider told The Post on Tuesday Maddow, the network's highest paid star, returned to the anchor chair five days a week for the first 100 days of the Trump administration before going back to hosting her show just on Mondays at the beginning of last month. Wagner was pushed out for Psaki. Psaki's promotion from her weekend gig was part of a sweeping lineup shakeup at MSNBC aimed at injecting new energy into prime time and broadening its appeal. But early signs suggest the overhaul by new MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler, who took over from Rashida Jones in January, has backfired. Advertisement Kutler quickly canceled Joy Reid's program 'The ReidOut' and replaced it with 'The Weeknight,' a rip-off of Fox's ratings champ 'The Five.' The roundtable show, co-hosted by Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele, averaged 772,000 viewers in May — a 19% drop from the 955,000 'The ReidOut' pulled in during its final month in February, according to Nielsen. 5 Psaki's show drew just 78,000 viewers from the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demographic — a 52% decline compared to the 161,000 that Rachel Maddow (above) and Alex Wagner pulled during earlier 2025 broadcasts. MSNBC Among the 25–54 demographic, the new crew averaged just 72,000 viewers, down 20% from what the Trump-bashing Reid garnered. Advertisement Overall in primetime for May, MSNBC averaged 877,000 viewers, down 24% from the rest of the year. In the 25–54 demo, MSNBC averaged 73,000 viewers in primetime, a 34% drop. Across the full broadcast day last month, the network drew 545,000 viewers, down 33%, and just 49,000 in the key demo, a 41% decline. MSNBC declined to comment. 'In May, four months into the presidency, survey data shows rising news fatigue across all networks,' said a source close to the situation. The source added that Psaki has shown some signs of progress despite the overall downturn. 5 Wagner was removed from her 9 p.m. prime time hosting slot from Tuesday through Friday as part of a lineup revamp. MSNBC ''The Briefing' builds on the audience of its 8 p.m. lead-in, which is a major improvement,' the insider said. News fatigue has apparently not affected Fox News' stranglehold in the ratings race. The conservative network, which shares common ownership with The Post, averaged 2.46 million viewers in prime time — up 23% — and 1.56 million across total day programming. Advertisement In the demo, Fox pulled 262,000 viewers in prime time (up 32%) and 180,000 during the day (up 22%), according to Nielsen. 5 MSNBC remains ensconced in second place in the cable news ratings race behind Fox News and ahead of CNN. Last-place CNN, meanwhile, continued to limp along, averaging just 426,000 total primetime viewers and 353,000 across the day, down 18% and 24%, respectively. The most-watched cable news show in May was Fox News' 'The Five' with 3.77 million viewers, followed by 'Jesse Watters Primetime' at 3.23 million. Fox also dominated with other top programs including 'Gutfield!' (2.92 million), 'Special Report with Brett Baier' (2.81 million), and 'Hannity' (2.73 million), who competes against Psaki. Advertisement 5 Fox said the network had 'one of the highest rated quarters in cable news history.' The channel shares common ownership with The Post. Ralf – 'Since the election, Fox News has delivered the top 1,013 cable news telecasts,' the company said during an earnings call last month. 'This combination of an engaged audience and a dynamic news cycle led to record audience share in the quarter.'

Joy Reid claims ‘horrified' MSNBC bosses pressured her to stop social media posts before she was fired
Joy Reid claimed MSNBC bosses were 'horrified' by her presence on social media and repeatedly pressured her to stop tweeting before ultimately canceling her primetime show, The ReidOut. In a wide-ranging conversation with Katie Couric released Monday on Reid's new podcast, the former MSNBC host claimed that management at the left-leaning Comcast-owned network discouraged her from engaging with audiences online, fearing it gave her too much autonomy. 'Anytime I would tweet anything, I would get calls — I would get, 'Please get off Twitter, we hate it,'' Reid said. 4 Former MSNBC host Joy Reid (right) told Katie Couric on Monday that her bosses at the network were 'horrified' by her social media activity. YouTube / The Joy Reid Show 'They just don't like that it pulls their talent and their reporters out of their control because now you're not running what you're tweeting through Standards and Practices. It's giving your personality directly to the audience, which they don't like because it's no longer managed and curated by them.' Reid's MSNBC program 'The ReidOut' was canceled in February as part of a broader programming overhaul led by the network's new president, Rebecca Kutler. Reid's final broadcast aired on Feb. 24. The cancellation occurred amid a network-wide restructuring that also affected other hosts, including Alex Wagner and Katie Phang. Reid's remarks come ahead of the June 9 launch of 'The Joy Reid Show,' a new podcast and YouTube series. She posted the interview with Couric to her website and YouTube channel, marking her most candid remarks yet about her February departure from MSNBC. 4 Reid's primetime show 'The ReidOut' was cancelled by MSNBC in February. MSNBC The network gave no public explanation when it canceled 'The ReidOut,' sparking speculation that the decision was part of a broader post-election shakeup following Donald Trump's return to the presidency. Several non-white anchors were let go around the same time. Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann called it 'an MSNBC purge so brutally racist it makes you think it was done by [Elon] Musk.' When Couric asked her directly what led to her dismissal, Reid said she's still unsure. 'I've been asked this so many times,' she said. 'And people think that I'm just saying it to BS, but I'm being honest with you — I don't know.' 4 MSNBC is the left-leaning all-news cable channel owned by telecommunications giant Comcast. Ralf – Reid said she learned about the cancellation not long after exchanging emails with MSNBC's public relations team celebrating the show's NAACP Image Award win. Reid insisted the cancellation wasn't related to poor ratings. 'It wasn't ratings,' she said. 'We had just had a ratings meeting a couple of weeks before that talking about the fact that our show… other than Rachel Maddow, we were down the least' in the wake of Trump's win. 'We were just told that we were doing… that we were holding on pretty well,' Reid added. 'And then, you know, it's not like the ratings have gotten better since I've been gone.' She described the way the news was delivered as 'scripted' and 'just very perfunctory,' noting she received no specific reason for the show's end. 'I wasn't told 'The ratings were terrible,' 'It's something you did,' 'You tweeted a terrible thing,'' she said, adding that she had already been 'extra careful' online amid growing concerns inside the network about talent on social media. Although Reid said she doesn't necessarily believe her outspoken criticism of Trump was the reason for her show's cancellation, she acknowledged it may have played a role. 'I'm a black woman doing the thing. You know what I mean?' she said. 'I think that there's a difference for Trump in hearing the kinds of criticisms, specifically, out of a black woman. It bothers him in a way it doesn't bother him like anything else.' 'There's a fear of him,' Reid added. 'We're seeing it everywhere.' 4 The Post reported on Reid's exit from MSNBC earlier this year. Reid has faced multiple controversies over the years, beginning with the resurfacing of homophobic blog posts from her defunct site, 'The Reid Report.' Initially claiming her blog was hacked, Reid later admitted there was no evidence to support that, though she maintained the posts didn't reflect her views. She also apologized for past tweets mocking Ann Coulter and Lindsey Graham with sexist and homophobic language. In 2020, Reid was accused of Islamophobia after comparing Trump's rhetoric to that of radical Islamic leaders, prompting backlash from Muslim-American groups. More recently, during MSNBC's 2024 election coverage, she called Florida a 'fascist-type government' and criticized white women voters in North Carolina for not supporting Kamala Harris, blaming them for the state's failure to protect abortion rights. Reid also stirred controversy with her response to the assassination attempt on Trump, suggesting his own rhetoric may have helped incite political violence. Critics accused her of downplaying the seriousness of the attack and called for her show to be canceled. The Post has sought comment from MSNBC.

MSNBC's revamped lineup flounders, Jen Psaki sheds 47% of predecessors' viewership
MSNBC's revamped lineup has been a misfire through one month, with Jen Psaki shedding half the audience her predecessors averaged in the same timeslot and other new programming struggling to attract viewers. Psaki, a former Biden White House press secretary who has insisted she never saw signs the former president had declined while she worked for him, saw an increased role as part of MSNBC's overhaul when programming changes were announced earlier this year. Psaki took over MSNBC's coveted 9 p.m. ET timeslot on Tuesday through Fridays last month as "The Rachel Maddow Show" returned to only airing on Mondays, after Maddow temporarily returned to airing five nights a week during President Donald Trump's first 100 days in office. "The Briefing with Jen Psaki" averaged 971,000 total viewers from its May 6 debut through May 28, shedding a staggering 47% of the audience that Maddow and Alex Wagner pulled in at 9 p.m. ET throughout 2025. Jen Psaki, The Ex-biden Flack Who Defended His Mental Fitness, Launches Expanded Role At Msnbc Psaki has also hemorrhaged viewers from the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, averaging 78,000 for a 52% drop compared to the 161,000 demo viewers that Maddow and Wagner averaged on Tuesday through Fridays at 9 p.m. ET before the former Biden spokesperson took over. Wagner hosted Tuesdays through Fridays in Maddow's usual spot before Trump's inauguration. Read On The Fox News App The network also canceled Joy Reid's program "The ReidOut" and replaced it with "The Weeknight," an ensemble program featuring former Vice President Kamala Harris spokesperson Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez, the daughter of disgraced former Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Michael Steele, the former Republican National Committee chair who now staunchly opposes the GOP. "The Weeknight" debuted on May 5 and averaged 776,000 total viewers through May 28 for a 12% drop compared to the 886,000 total viewers that "The ReidOut" and other temporary programs managed throughout 2025 in the 7 p.m. ET timeslot before changes went into effect. Credibility Crisis: Press Dismissed Hur Report On Biden's Memory Issues Long Before Concerns Became Undeniable "The Weeknight" shed even more viewers from the key demo, as the new MSNBC show averaged 72,000 for a 20% decrease, compared to the 90,000 demo viewers who tuned into the 7 p.m. ET timeslot before the ensemble program kicked off. Another new show, "The Weekend: Primetime," with Antonia Hylton, Catherine Rampell, Elise Jordan and Ayman Mohyeldin, is down 11% among total viewers and 6% in the demo compared to MSNBC programming that used to occupy its timeslot. Despite the programming overhaul, MSNBC had its second-worst May in history among both total day and primetime in the demo. For the month, MSNBC settled for a dismal average of 49,000 viewers among the critical demo to lose to CNN, which averaged 59,000. During primetime, CNN averaged 76,000 demo viewers and MSNBC finished with an average of only 73,000. Americans Continue To Choose Fox News Channel As Network Dominates May, Tops Abc During Weekday Primetime Only one of MSNBC's new shows is outdrawing its timeslot predecessor, as "The Weekend" with Jonathan Capehart, Eugene Daniels, and Jackie Alemany is up 24% in total viewers and 29% among the demo since launching on May 3. An MSNBC insider pushed back on the notion the network was struggling, pointing to the historic news cycle that occurred during Trump's first 100 days in office that helped attract viewers before the new programs launched. The insider also noted that Psaki has built on the audience of her lead-in while competing in the NBA and NHL playoffs. MSNBC's viewership issues come as Comcast gears up to spin off NBCUniversal cable assets, including MSNBC, into a separate company called Versant that will not be tied to NBC News. MSNBC didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Ratings data courtesy of Nielsen Media article source: MSNBC's revamped lineup flounders, Jen Psaki sheds 47% of predecessors' viewership

MSNBC fires back at disinformation — and makes history — with fearless new show
Spring is in full bloom in Washington, D.C., and the air hums with unease beneath the city's famous cherry blossoms. President Donald Trump has returned to the White House, and the federal bureaucracy is being reshaped in real time. The administration is spinning, attacking the free press, and treating journalists like dissidents. The White House Correspondents' Association has been elbowed aside, and the Trump White House has banned the Associated Press from pool reporting duty — a ban only recently slapped down by a federal judge. Keep up with the latest in + news and politics. Shannon Finney Jonathan Capehart, Eugene Daniels, and Jackie Alemany Against this Orwellian backdrop, MSNBC is betting on something radical: the truth. And the media company is putting it in the hands of three people who know how to wield it. Jonathan Capehart, 56, Eugene Daniels, 35, and Jackie Alemany, 39, are about to become the most talked-about trio in political television. On Saturday they take the reins of The Weekend, MSNBC's flagship Saturday and Sunday morning show, broadcasting live from the network's newly muscular Washington bureau. The show's expansion to three hours is no accident. Neither is its lineup. The show will make history as the first time that two out gay Black men host a national television program. Related: MSNBC revamps weekend morning show with two prominent Black gay men as cohosts 'The mission of the show is the mission of journalism,' Capehart told The Advocate. 'To tell the story, report the story without fear or favor.' He emphasized the importance of truth: 'Our perspectives are grounded in our individual reporting but also in the facts.' Shannon Finney Jackie Alemany Alemany echoed that expectation, saying she hopes viewers will 'learn something new' every weekend, emphasizing the importance of curiosity and fearlessness in journalism. 'Sometimes it's the 'dumb question' that gets the most revealing answer,' she said, recalling advice from her early mentor, CBS News anchor Bob Schieffer. Alemany explained that asking the question others might be too self-conscious to pose often leads to the most candid, insightful responses — a principle she believes will be central to the show's success. The Weekend 's new lineup debuts as MSNBC undergoes its most significant transformation in years. Under President Rebecca Kutler, the network is carving out a more independent identity as it finalizes a formal split from NBCUniversal News Group into a stand-alone entity known internally as 'SpinCo.' The network has expanded programs like The Weekend and launched new shows, including The Weeknight With Symone Sanders Townsend, Michael Steele, Alicia Menendez, and The Briefing With Jen Psaki. Ratings are up — prime-time viewership has nearly doubled since the inauguration, and weekends have topped CNN for 16 straight months. The momentum follows internal backlash over the cancellation of shows led by nonwhite hosts, including Joy Reid's The ReidOut, Alex Wagner Tonight, and Katie Phang's weekend slot. In February, Rachel Maddow, the network's most prominent anchor, called the shake-up 'indefensible,' describing the layoffs as 'a bloodbath' that blindsided staff. Wagner and Phang remain at MSNBC. Shannon Finney Eugene Daniels Now, a new team takes the studio set, and with it comes a ton of responsibility. Daniels stressed their shared approach. 'The people who watch our show should be ready for any eventuality,' he said. 'They should have been introduced to the people on the ground doing the work.' The goal is for viewers to wake up the morning after an election and not be surprised by the results. 'I want people watching to say, 'Well, Eugene and Jackie did say that could happen,'' he said. But how do you cover an administration that wields attention like a weapon? 'Covering this administration is an exercise in priorities,' Alemany said. 'We zoom in on what we think is the most important and stay away from the shiny bright objects.' Related: HRC honors Jonathan Capehart, Ina Fried, and Nico Lang for LGBTQ+ journalism that breaks through the noise 'What is the left hand doing while the right hand is over here shaking something?' Daniels asked, describing how the team plans to look beyond the headline-grabbing moments to uncover the more in-depth, often overlooked impacts on people's lives. Daniels explained that the show will focus on what powerful actors are doing behind the scenes rather than chasing spectacle while public attention is distracted elsewhere. 'It's about making sure viewers understand not just what is loud and flashy but what will actually affect their groceries, their mortgages, their rights, their futures,' he said. 'We want to pull back the curtain and show people the full picture, not just the shiny object everyone is pointing at.' Shannon Finney Jonathan Capehart All three of the relaunched show's anchors bring serious credentials. Capehart, who has hosted MSNBC's The Saturday/Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart since 2020, is a Pulitzer Prize winner and associate editor at The Washington Post, where he also hosts the podcasts Capehart and First Look. He's a political analyst on PBS NewsHour, regularly appearing on the 'Brooks and Capehart' segment. Capehart, who won a GLAAD Media Award in 2022 for his MSNBC special Pride of the White House, and Daniels represent a kind of visibility the media advocacy group's president and CEO called 'essential.' Daniels is MSNBC's senior Washington correspondent. A former White House reporter for Politico, he has interviewed a range of political figures, including then–Vice President Kamala Harris. Alemany, also a Pulitzer Prize winner, covered Congress and the White House for The Washington Post. There, she led coverage of Trump-era investigations and broke major stories on the January 6 insurrection and classified documents. She's a Harvard graduate and former captain of the women's basketball team, and she was honored as Outstanding Journalist in Print at the 2023 Washington Women in Journalism Awards. The three bring not just synergy but substance. Being three print veterans, Capehart said, makes a difference: 'People in print know how to think and know how to write.' Writing, he said, builds 'the discipline to listen,' to 'analyze,' and to 'get to the nub of the issue.' Shannon Finney Jonathan Capehart, Jackie Alemany, and Eugene Daniels The journalists' chemistry off camera is equally strong, marked by a genuine camaraderie that radiated throughout their interview with The Advocate. They joked about everything from the bonnets Daniels wears to protect his hair and love for GoPuff snacks to Capehart's surprising athleticism, including his ability to perform cheerleader-style jumps. 'I can do that too,' Capehart quipped as Daniels listed his talents, laughing about an impromptu leap captured ahead of their Advocate photo shoot. Daniels and Alemany teased Capehart with mock awe at his unexpected agility, while Alemany joked that she would stick to her self-described role as the 'designated hype woman.' It's this easy banter that promises to bring depth and a refreshing authenticity to their time on air together. Yet beneath the playfulness runs a profound sense of purpose. 'I can wear whatever the hell I want and put nail polish on and a little bit of a heel every once in a while because of people like Jonathan,' Daniels, a former Division 1 college football player, said, his voice catching at one point. Daniels called Capehart his 'hero,' sharing that early in his career, when he was searching for a role model who embodied both professional excellence and realness, he chose Capehart. 'He finds different ways to tell stories — live events, podcasts, hosting, writing, guest appearances — and he does it all while being true to himself,' Daniels said. 'For a long time, he has been a hero of mine, and now I get to work with him this closely and break this little wall down together.' Last weekend, Daniels presided over the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner as president of the WHCA — another first for an out gay Black man. Ahead of the annual affair, he took a lot of heat for announcing that the board had voted to scrap the traditional comedian segment and canceled queer funnywoman Amber Ruffin's hosting gig. Shannon Finney Jonathan Capehart and Eugene Daniels In a Washington under siege, where Trump again skipped the dinner and celebrities stayed away, Daniels reminded a stripped-down crowd of journalists that their work remained vital. 'It's just us,' he said from the podium. 'What we are not is the opposition. What we are not is the enemy of the people. And what we are not is the enemy of the state.' Related: Amber Ruffin calls out White House Correspondents' Dinner firing in hilarious 'Late Night' surprise appearance MSNBC notes that Daniels's role with the WHCA is separate from his reporting and anchoring duties. Often dubbed 'nerd prom,' the dinner has become a surreal blend of journalism and celebrity, where Washington's most ink-stained insiders swap their notebooks for tuxedos. The nickname stuck as the once-staid affair morphed into a red-carpet spectacle that blurs the line between press freedom and pop culture. As part of 'nerd prom' week, Capehart was honored with an award at the Human Rights Campaign's Guardians of Truth Awards, while Daniels received Voto Latino's Truth in Journalism Award. 'Capehart and Daniels are outstanding journalists to hold the powerful to account and to lead the essential and urgent conversations about issues important to communities that they come from,' GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis told The Advocate. 'The leadership of Black and LGBTQ journalists in high-profile media outlets is of paramount importance at this moment when freedom of the press is at risk, accurate information is being censored, and voices of marginalized community members are being silenced.' Shannon Finney Jonathan Capehart Capehart reflected on the long arc of change and what stepping into this historic moment means. 'When I came out to my mother, the first thing she said to me was 'Don't tell anybody,'' he recalled of the day in 1990. 'We always lived with that fear that being gay would hold us back.' Fear once shadowed every opportunity and career decision, he said. Today, standing alongside Daniels and Alemany, Capehart, who writes intimately about his life in his memoir Yet Here I Am: Lessons From a Black Man's Search for Home, which comes out May 20, said he feels a sense of pride and responsibility to live openly and lead by example. 'What once was a source of fear,' he said, 'is now a source of strength and a reminder of how far we've come — and how much further we can go.' Related: Rachel Maddow rattles off how people 'disapprove' of Trump's chaotic, dark & failing first 100 days That reminder came into focus over a recent meal. During a dinner at Washington's storied Cosmos Club, Capehart had looked across the table at Daniels and said, 'Do you understand the history we are about to make? We're going to be the first two out gay Black men to cohost a national television show. Holy smokes.' There are also coincidences among the trio of journalists that are too perfect to script. Both men are married to white men from the Dakotas — Daniels's husband from South Dakota, Capehart's from North Dakota. Alemany is also married to a North Dakotan. 'It's almost too symmetrical,' Capehart said. Shannon Finney Eugene Daniels Each anchor brings a distinct focus on stories about real people and the consequences of federal policy decisions. Alemany, deeply influenced by her sister's cerebral palsy, said she is 'ravenous for coverage' of disability rights. She also highlighted the Trump administration's pro-natalist policy initiatives, warning they aim to 'fundamentally change American life and American families.' Daniels pointed to the lived consequences of Washington's decisions, sharing the story of his husband's family's South Dakota ranch, where tariffs and economic shifts have forced 'never-take-a-handout cowboys' to accept federal subsidies for the first time. Capehart stressed the necessity of viewing politics through the lens of race. 'We should be clear on whose birth rates the Trump administration is trying to pump up,' he said. 'The time for tiptoeing is over.' Shannon Finney Jackie Alemany But despite the gravity of the moment, when American democracy is at stake, the hosts plan to bring lightness to the screen too. 'The three of us really like each other,' Daniels said. Their camaraderie, he explained, is not just for behind the scenes but is something they hope will translate directly to viewers, creating an environment that feels inviting even amid tough conversations. 'You can talk about very heavy topics while also bringing joy into people's lives,' Daniels added. They all agree that the weekend show is more than just another newscast. It is a statement about resilience, inclusion, and refusing to let cynicism win. Shannon Finney Jonathan Capehart, Jackie Alemany, and Eugene Daniels In an era of noise and spectacle, The Weekend promises something rare: journalism rooted in rigor, fueled by joy, and true to the people it serves. 'We're going to give people something they find sustaining,' Capehart said. The Weekend with Capehart, Daniels and Alemany premieres Saturday and will air weekends from 7 to 10 a.m. Eastern on MSNBC.
