Maddow also pointed out Katie Phang's upcoming departure from her weekend slot in a rare rebuke of her own network's "indefensible" actions, she said.

MSNBC is set to drop Joy Reid's "The ReidOut," which will air its final show on the network this week, TheWrap has learned. The cancellation is part of Rebecca Kutler's vision for the network moving forward.

As MSNBC host Joy Ann Reid issued her final send-off on the ReidOut, her now former colleagues blasted the network for her "indefensible" firing. Reid hosted the show for five years. Prior to that, Reid was a weekend host of AM Joy from 2016 to 2020.
