MSNBC host Joy Reid brought joy to numerous people on social media when a rumor began to spread that the network plans to fire the low-rated host this spring.
Jon Nicosia, a former editor at Mediaite, reported on Thursday that an anonymous source at Comcast told him Reid’s fate had been sealed. “Joy Reid will lose her 7p show in the next round of reshuffling at MSNBC,&#8221; the source said, <a href="https://twitter.com/newspolitics/status/1479181199541260289">according</a> to Nicosia. “She does not have a show come mid Spring,” and the &#8220;decision has been made, the only thing left is messaging on the move, which will be ratings.”
“As was the case with Chris Cuomo at CNN, Reid has allies at Comcast, however, she is now viewed as ‘unmanageable’ by many. Also, similar to Cuomo, it appears those allies have found out she has been ‘less than truthful about past incidents,’” Nicosia <a href="https://twitter.com/NewsPolitics/status/1479181200891826176">continued.</a> He <a href="https://twitter.com/NewsPolitics/status/1479183665339023365">added</a> that, like Cuomo, he expected “MSNBC/Comcast to defend her right until the announcement.”

Syndicated radio talk show host Clay Travis <a href="https://twitter.com/claytravis/status/1479313033377861632">said</a>, “News breaking that Joy Reid is being fired by MSNBC on January 6th would actually make this a date worth memorializing.”

Former MSNBC prime time host Keith Olbermann painted a picture of a network in chaos. “Five night time shows, one host retiring, one gone, one going?” he <a href="https://twitter.com/keitholbermann/status/1479287200386850819">tweeted</a>.

Some were confused by the ouster. “If we’re being honest mediocre Chris Hayes should have been fired before Joy Reid,” <a href="https://twitter.com/bidenharrisbro/status/1479261095474855937">wrote</a> one user.

“Joy Reid is retiring to spend more time with her gay friends and track down the person who hacked her account,” <a href="https://twitter.com/davar_echad/status/1479260592707813378">wrote</a> Davar Echad, poking fun at Reid’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-joy-reid-admits-hacking-claims-not-true-ryan-saavedra?amp&amp;__twitter_impression=true">less-than-forthcoming comments</a> about old posts on her blog critical of same-sex marriage.

“‘We’re going to miss Joy Reid,’ said no one ever,” <a href="https://twitter.com/kagmaga45/status/1479255626492661763">summarized</a> one individual.

Nicosia’s report, which remains unconfirmed, follows a similar report he made late last year. “There is serious talk all the way up the chain at Comcast about Joy Reid&#8217;s future at MSNBC,” he <a href="https://twitter.com/NewsPolitics/status/1462987834759987201">wrote</a> in November. “Audio coming Monday,” he <a href="https://twitter.com/NewsPolitics/status/1463625316182765571">wrote</a> on November 24. Yet he does not appear to have posted any such audio on <a href="https://twitter.com/NewsPolitics">his Twitter feed</a>.
Nonetheless, ratings would be a plausible reason to cancel Joy-Ann Reid’s latest eponymous show, which <a href="https://twitter.com/MSNBCPR/status/1285696205893271552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1285696205893271552%7Ctwgr%5Ehb_1_7%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthegrio.com%2F2020%2F07%2F22%2Fjoy-reid-msnbc-the-reidout-no-1%2F">debuted</a> in the number one ratings spot on July 20, 2020. “The ReidOut” ranked 16th highest among all cable news shows last year and <a href="https://www.outkick.com/cable-news-ratings-fox-news-cnn-msnbc/">averaged</a> 1.44 million viewers, but Reid has <a href="https://ctv.kwayisi.org/networks/msnbc/the-reidout-with-joy-reid/">shed 56% of her audience</a> since last January. Reid’s 7 p.m. show, just outside prime time, is consistently <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/daily-ratings/cable-news-ratings-wednesday-january-5-ari-melber-beats-joy-reid-on-msnbc/">beaten in the ratings</a> by Ari Melber’s 6 p.m. show and Nicolle Wallace’s “Deadline: White House,” which airs at 4 p.m., while many would-be viewers are at work.
