Joy Reid MSNBC show!

[Cha]

62. Who would you suggest, octoberlib?

Kornacki is awesome.. I just started watching him online and feel like others that all his investigative reporting on the Christie Corruption Scandal should lead to a higher profile job. Hopefully it will be trend for msnbc.

I'm really excited about Joy Reid having her own show!

...Reid’s news show, which is still being staffed, came as more of a surprise. It will launch at 2 p.m., where (Tamron) Hall has presided for the past three years.

Reid, a 44-year-old graduate of Harvard and, until now, a contributor to the cable network, is, along with Hall and Rev. Al Sharpton, one of three African-American hosts on MSNBC’s week-day lineup. She will give up her duties as managing editor of the TheGrio.com, MSNBC’s black-oriented web site, to anchor full-time.

“Joy is a really thoughtful journalist and analyst, and she’s found real success on this network,” Griffin told The Daily Beast. “She’s formidable on-air and very smart. She fits our sensibility and our audience really connects with her. She’s a natural.”

"Ronan Farrow, son of Mia Farrow, is also getting a show, to launch on the same day. But I have never seen so many tweets over the past year begging Phil Griffin, head of MSNBC, to give Joy Reid her own show. And I agree with all of them. She is really terrific

Best of luck, Joy! You deserve this, and we'll be watching. Her debut is Feb. 24 at 2pm ET."
