Hints that the progressive agitator is retiring. On tonight's The Rachel Maddow Show, the host announced that she has skin cancer and her doctors found it before it would have gotten worse. She reveals it on tonight's show.

She announced her doctor had found a cancerous mole on her skin and she had to get it immediately removed before it would have been untreatable.

Only last year, Maddow tearfully announced that her longtime partner Susan Mikula had a near fatal bout with COVID-19. Susan had recovered but she has not been the same.

Now Maddow revealed that she had treatment for cancer. 

“There’s a lot of different kinds of skin cancer, but even the worst ones are eminently more treatable than they used to be, and if you get them early, they’re almost all treatable,” she said.

Rachel @Maddow shares that she had surgery last Friday to remove skin cancer. "I am going to be absolutely fine." Her message to viewers: "You should get checked. If you've got moles like I do, just get on a schedule with your doctor. Schedule a check now with your doctor..." pic.twitter.com/NUD9PJjpCk

Maddow disclosed that she had surgery at NYU-Langone Hospital on Friday to remove the cancerous mole, saying “they [NYU-Langone staff] are fantastic, they got all of it,” adding, “I’m good … I am going to be absolutely fine, I am totally fine.”

The network’s most popular personality then instructed her viewers to get checked, a PSA of sorts. “If you’ve got moles like I do, just get on a schedule with your doctor. Schedule a check now with your doctor, and then when your doctor tells you ‘you’re fine, but you should do this every year,’ put it in the calendar in your phone for a year from now, and then actually come back and do that follow-up appointment … it very well might save your life.”

MSNBC is trying to keep Maddow on. She is either tied with Sean "Softball" Hannity or leading in the key demographics. She is catching up to the annoying agitator in ratings overall. The softball gains 3.5 million viewers. Maddow gains 2.9 million viewers. Chris Cuomo runs around 2.4 million viewers.

Maddow has hinting retiring or stepping to a contributor role at MSNBC. As she is preparing to take care of Susan and her own health, the possibility of the most popular media personality leaving the network is likely. 

Who will replace her?

The possible replacements are Nicolle Wallace, Ali Velshi, Tiffany Cross, Shepard Smith, Brian Williams and Craig Melvin. Who knows?

But they will have big shoes to fill!

Rachel Maddow will always be a part of pop culture. She is a media personality, radio host, author and entrepreneur.
