Mehdi Hasan Out!

Mehdi Hasan will lose Sunday show on MSNBC.

MSNBC president Rashida Jones announced a weekend shakeup. 

“As Decision 2024 ramps up, the show will provide thoughtful analysis and coverage on the state of our country from three trusted voices familiar to the MSNBC audience,” said Jones in a memo to staffers.

The primetime lineup will lose some and replace others. It appears that Ali Velshi, Jen Psaki, Jonathan Capehart, Alex Witt, Katie Phang and Rev. Al Sharpton will survive the cut. 

Ali Velshi will continue to host Velshi on weekends 10am until noon. He will continue to guest host on Friday for Lawrence O'Donnell and occassionally for Stephanie Ruhle.

Al Sharpton will continue to host his PoliticsNation at 5pm weekends. 

Katie Phang will host The Katie Phang Show at noon on Saturday. She will continue legal analysis; also guest hosting for Ari Melber, Nicolle Wallace, Alex Wagner and Rachel Maddow.

Jen Psaki will host Inside with Jen Psaki at noon on Sunday and 8pm on Monday.

Alex Witt will host MSNBC Reports Weekend from 1pm until 4pm.

For now, The Beat with Ari Melber (Best Rap Ups) will hold 4pm. Brian Stelter is likely going to be hosting that spot in the future. I guarantee that he is going to sign to MSNBC soon. Ari Melber has The Beat with Ari Melber weekdays and has an audience of 2.5 million viewers. 

Ayman Moynihan will continue to host his show but will now start it at 7pm until ppm. He will guest host for Nicolle Wallace and Stephanie Ruhle.

Jonathan Capehart will host The Weekend Show at 6pm. Capehart will guest host for Nicolle Wallace, Ari Melber, Joy Reid and Lawrence O'Donnell.

Symone Sanders-Townsand, Alicia Menendez, Michael Steele and unknown host will have a Morning Joe-style weekend show called  The Weekend from 8am until 10am.

Mehdi Hasan will end his Sunday show. He will continue to be on MSNBC as a political analyst and guest host for Chris Hayes. 

Hasan who worked for Al Jazeera, BBC and RT joined MSNBC in 2020 and was offered a show on Sunday nights. Hasan is very critical of President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Democrats and Republicans.

He has also promoted the Biden is too old, Harris needs to go, Tara Reade allegations and Democrats need new faces mantra. Hasan has been very upfront about Israel and its genocide against Palestinians.

I only support Hasan in his criticism of Biden's stance on Israel. Hasan, Velshi and Moynihan are Muslim Americans and were almost sidelined because of complaints from pro Israeli leaders.

Hasan is British American. 

Velshi is Canadian American. 

Moynihan is Egyptian American.
