Joy Reid hosted ‘The ReidOut’ for more than four years on MSNBC. MSNBC has canceled Joy Reid’s evening news show and held a “tense” meeting with her staff after the news was leaked to the press. Rebecca Kutler, the network’s newly-appointed leader, made the call amid larger plans to overhaul MSNBC’s programming, according to the Times.

Reid has hosted a 7 p.m. show on the network since 2020. She had been with the company since 2014. The network has also removed Alex Wagner from her weekday evening spot, and Darcy reports Kutler held a “similar” meeting with the show’s staff. However, Wagner is expected to stay with MSNBC as a contributor.

Now, many are mourning Reid’s departure. Outgoing Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison also thanked her for her time on the network. But others — especially members of the GOP — are celebrating the end of her show. Right-wing media personality Piers Morgan called her firing “long overdue,” while journalist Billy Binion accused of her pushing “the worst kind of journalism.”.
