Jen Psaki On The Move Amid Major MSNBC Lineup Changes

Jen Psaki, the former Biden White House press secretary, is officially taking over MSNBC's primetime 9 pm slot between Tuesday and Friday, reports our sister site Variety. (TVLine has reached out to the network for comment and confirmation.)

Rachel Maddow, who is currently anchoring 9 pm five days a week during the early days of the Trump administration, will soon return to hosting Mondays only. When that change is made, Psaki's show, Inside With Jen Psaki, will begin its new schedule.

"Since joining MSNBC, Psaki has become a crucial and trusted voice for the network," MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler said in a memo Monday. "We now have one of the most engaged audiences in all of television and are seeing rapid growth across digital, audio, and more. In the years ahead, we must continue to show up for our audiences in this critical moment while simultaneously best positioning ourselves for the future."

The update follows Saturday's news that Joy Reid and Alex Wagner will no longer lead their respective time slots. Reid will be removed from her 7 pm slot where she currently hosts The ReidOut — which has been in the MSNBC lineup for five years. Her final episode of the show is being planned for sometime this week. The network will fill Reid's slot with Symone Sanders-Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele; the trio currently hosts The Weekend, which airs Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Wagner, who had been stationed at the 9 pm hour, will become a correspondent for the network.
