| Zerlina Maxwell to leave MSNBC. |
SiriusXM Progressive host is leaving MSNBC. Her show on MSNBC and Peacock was cancelled.
Zerlina Maxwell and Ayman Mohyeldin lost their Peacock streaming shows this week amid “programming changes to the MSNBC hub on Peacock,” confirmed MSNBC. Variety reported the announcement as a “streaming shake-up at MSNBC.”
Executives had hoped Maxwell, a Democratic activist and former campaign aide to Hillary Clinton would stay on in an analyst role. But she appears to have declined.
Mohyeldin will keep his current role on MSNBC and the changes to Peacock will officially take effect in September.

My last episode of @zerlinashow on 9/15 next week will also be my last day at @msnbc.
I am really excited about the next chapter and I’m looking forward to moving into a space at the forefront of where the media is headed! #Renaissance ✌🏾
