Jen Psaki’s MSNBC show, “The Briefing,” has recently undergone a major shake-up—and not in a good way.
What Happened?
As of May 29, 2025, Jen Psaki no longer hosts a primetime show on MSNBC 1. Her departure follows a significant drop in ratings for her show, which had replaced Rachel Maddow’s Tuesday–Friday 9 p.m. slot earlier this year 2.
Show Performance
Psaki’s show struggled to attract viewers, averaging 973,000 total viewers, which is:
46% lower than Maddow’s numbers during the same time slot.
20% lower than Alex Wagner’s performance in the same slot last year 2.
On May 22, her show failed to reach 1 million viewers, while Fox News’ Sean Hannity drew 2.3 million in the same time slot 2.
In the key 25–54 age demographic, Psaki’s show pulled in just 55,000 viewers, compared to Hannity’s 210,000 2.
Why the Change?
The network has been facing broader struggles:
A 41% drop in primetime viewership compared to May 2024 2.
A new lineup, including “The Weeknight” panel show, has also underperformed.
What’s Next for Psaki?
There’s no official word yet on whether she’ll return in a different role at MSNBC or pursue other media or political opportunities. Her departure marks a significant shift, especially given her high-profile transition from White House Press Secretary to cable news host.

Horrible ratings.
More MSNBC fail. Who wouldn't laugh at that?
Poor poor commiesaki, she seems really happy wearing the hammer and sickle. Maybe Russia can find her a new show.

Who is Jen Psaki? Gee, and here she got yanked before I even had a chance to not watch her show.
Oh well, guess it is back to the Ren & Stimpy Show for me.

Russia? She can line up with Hannity and Carlson.
Psaki didn't get canned, she got a promotion.

Don's show is doing pretty well actually.LOL maybe she could join forces with Don Lemon on the podcast of the outcasts.
Now that he's no longer under the shackles of that God forsaken network, he's free to do real journalism.
I used to never watch him, now I watch him every day.
Im optimistic that Joy Reid will go the same route, but we'll see.
