MSNBC Struggles to Reach Joy Reid After Show Is Canceled
MSNBC is reportedly having trouble contacting Joy Reid following the abrupt cancellation of The Reid Out due to low ratings. Network president Rebecca Kutler told staff over the weekend that they’re still waiting to hear from Reid about whether she’ll return for a final episode.
“We want to defer to her,” Kutler said, adding, “The hope is that we will have a final show with Joy.”
Reid has remained silent since the announcement and has been unusually inactive on TikTok.
The internal staff meeting reportedly turned tense and emotional, with team members demanding answers about the cancellation and their job security.
Kutler denied any political influence behind the decision, saying it was based solely on data and strategy for the network’s future.
