Alex Wagner, who hosts the 9 p.m. hour Tuesdays-Fridays, will report across the country for 'Trumpland: The First 100 Days,' before MSNBC's normal schedule returns in May.
‘s star host Rachel Maddow will return to hosting her 9 p.m. show five nights per week later this month in a temporary move connected to the first 100 days of the Trump administration.
Maddow, of course, currently only hosts her show on Monday nights, and on evenings with major news events. Alex Wagner hosts the 9 p.m. hour Tuesday through Friday. The temporary setup will see Maddow one again in the anchor chair every night at 9 starting on Inauguration Day, Jan. 20.Wagner, meanwhile, will be hitting the road for what MSNBC is calling “Trumpland: The First 100 Days,” in which she will travel the country reporting on the impact of Trump’s policies and impact.“This is a consequential next chapter in American politics,” MSNBC president Rashida Jones said in a statement.
For Trump’s inauguration, MSNBC will be bringing all of its top afternoon and evening hosts to the effort, with Maddow joining Nicolle Wallace, Joy Reid, Ari Melber, Chris Hayes, Wagner, Lawrence O’Donnell, Stephanie Ruhle and Jen Psaki for coverage.“With the five-days-a-week show, I became a pretty good compartmentalizer,” she said at the time. “We built a staff cadence where, unless something really crazy happened, we were not calling each other on weekends.
Now, at least for a few months, that cadence will return, and during a particularly newsworthy moment for MSNBC, which is surely betting that its loyal viewers will want its sharpest voice on-air every night.Erin Lassner.
