MSNBC has cancelled that weekly television show hosted by right-wing pundit Hugh Hewitt, the conservative explained at the end of his final show on Saturday.

“This has been the last Hugh Hewitt Show on Saturday mornings,” Hewitt explained.

He said that NBC News would continue to employ him as a contributor and he said he expects to continue to be a guest on MSNBC shows.

“It’s been great fun to host this show, I’ll see you on MSNBC again soon” the former anchor said.

[spanone]

6. THANK GOD

now m$nbc needs to apologize to their audience..

[Boomer]

7. Get a clue, MSNBC

If I wanted to watch a right-wing shill, I'd turn the channel to Fox.

[Stallion]

45. He's What is Called a Channel-Changer

...because as soon as his face comes on the network-millions change the channel

[COLGATE4]

8. This announcement is HUGH!!!!!

[brewens]

[sprinkleeninow]

65. Also, I don't care, do you? Hugh who?

[kentuck]

10. Good for MSNBC!

They should not be promoting this right-wing agenda of Donald Trump in any form.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. Oh fuck off, you creepy lipless ass carrot. nt

[nolabear]

34. Ass carrot?

[SonofDonald]

53. I've lost my appetite now, milk came out my nose.

[displacedtexan]

59. That's a visual I'll never forget.

gulp

[asiliveandbreathe]

12. And in his place....I guess we will have to wait for it....eom

[Gothmog]

14. This is great news

[dhol82]

15. Why will they continue to have him on as a contributor?

Every time I have seen him he just spews right wing talking points and acts superior.
I’m surprised they ever gave a show in the first place.

[True Blue American]

29. That is the reason. Like CNN

MSNBC needs some one to argue with. Look at no talent Rick Santorum and Jack Kingston.

[EndGOPPropaganda]

58. Because conservative Andy Lack runs MSNBC

Fox is propaganda - that is terrible. But
MSNBC is profit-first infotainment, which is only better in parts.


Listen to Rachel and Lawrence- they are good. But remember their corporate masters control the show ultimately- Lawrence was nearly fired recently.

If you want real journalism you have to go nonprofit, or journalist (not corporate) controlled: Mother Jones, Propublica, John Oliver, TPM/Josh Marshall.

17. Sayonara, dipshit, and take your creepy child molester smile with you. nt

[duforsure]

18. People have little respect

For trump loyalist who do nothing but lie to justify his actions, and statements, with more lies.

[lillypaddle]

19. And I'll take a bow

along with any of you who routinely complained to MSNBC!

[spanone]

20. the 'surprise' is that he was on m$nbc at all

[Cryptoad]

21. Knowing M$NBC,,,,,,,

they are proably going to give him a new show primetime weeknites!
Go Fuck urself Hewitt!

[MoonRiver]

22. Praise Dog!

Oh, and I REALLY hope MSNBC has the sense to not put him on as a commentator any more.

[imanamerican63]

23. Yippee!

But what took so long and why are they keeping him on as a contributor?

[rawhideal]

28. Got that right

Yea

[Horse with no Name]

24. Womp womp

Well deserved.

[MineralMan]

26. Adios, MF!

[SunSeeker]

27. Good riddance. nt

[Cha]

31. Why the hell would they give him a show

in the first place.. and why would they keep him on to do side shite?

[LakeArenal]

32. Bah-bye.

[procon]

35. Why did MSNBC even bother? It was a waste of airtime to serve their

predominantly liberal viewers a 30 minute dose of an unremarkable conservative like Hewitt at the crack of dawn on Saturday. The would have gotten better ratings by airing a cooking show or funny cat videos.

Will they double down an try to force another rightwing propagandist on irate MSNBC viewers?

[cynatnite]

36. Who watched it anyway?

No way could I stomach 5 minutes let alone the full show.

[Paladin]

37. How did this creepy, talent-free hack ever make it as a commentator?

Glad MSNBC dumped his show. Wish they would do the same with Chuck Todd and Chris Matthews.

[arithia]

38. bye felicia n/t

[B Stieg]

39. About Time!!!

Go back to your rock, Lizard Man.

[kairos12]

40. Get back to basement reporting with cheeto stained fingers.

[Grammy23]

42. Surprised he lasted this long.

Going on MSNBC with a straight Republican Party line was doomed from the start, but maybe the big wigs at MSNBC thought they’d be more “balanced” by having him on??? But come on. Surely there are other Republicans that could have hosted the show without mass defections to the Food Network. Why put someone on (even at an early hour) who raises the blood pressure of even their most docile viewer?? Major fail, MSNBC. Next time think about who your audience is and don’t select a host that pisses off the audience with just his face.

[dajoki]

46. go crawl in your hole n/t

[DonCoquixote]

47. ABOUT...FU..ING TIME

IF MSNBC WANTED TOO WIN, THEY WOULD BECOME THE LEFT ANSWER TO FOX, WHICH THEY ARE NOT.

[Vinca]

48. YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! How did he last so long??

[ellie]

49. Well, bye

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

50. Seems Chris Jansing has disappeared, too.

Hallie Jackson has her slot now.

Don't know the story, tho.

[kysrsoze]

51. 😁😆😄🤣😂😅

[whathehell]

52. Good. n/t.

[Different Drummer]

54. Good riddance! I just hope MSNBC has learned its lesson about going conservative.

First, they had to dump Greta Van Susteren. Now Hewitt.

[NastyRiffraff]

55. Good riddance

There's a reason the audience for his stupid show was almost zero.

[Faux pas]

56. ....

[muntrv]

57. I send Hugh my thoughts and prayers

[Pachamama]

60. His show is awful - he is too

I hope MSNBC will reconsider and not even have him as a guest. He is worthless waste of time to listen to.

[Chiyo-chichi]

61. Yeah!

[Maraya1969]

62. Didn't know he had a show, and I'm glad he's gone. eom

[Hassin Bin Sober]

63. Good riddance

[RhodeIslandOne]

64. There's one thing Trump hasn't lied about in the last three years.

Hugh Hewitt's show sucks.

[Tarheel_Dem]

66. Excuse me, but I didn't even know he had a show.

[Demovictory9]

[Demovictory9]
