MSNBC liberal mainstay Joy Reid’s show has been canceled as part of a major overhaul by the network’s new president Rebecca Kutler, according to a report.

The 7 p.m. program hosted by Trump critic Reid, 56, will be replaced by a new panel show featuring co-hosts Alicia Menendez, Michael Steele, and Symone Sanders Townsend, the New York Times reported, citing insiders.

The final episode of Reid’s show, “The ReidOut,” will air sometime this week, ending a mainstay of MSNBC’s lineup for the past five years, according to the Times.

It marks the first large-scale shake-up by MSNBC’s new president, Kutler, since she took over the liberal network earlier this month.

Reid, one of the most prominent Trump-bashers in the mainstream media, has been a long-serving anchor at the network, hosting the weekend talk show “AM Joy” since 2016 before being named anchor of the 7 p.m. slot in 2020.

She has made a series of infamous rants in recent months, including telling Trump supporters to “make your own dinner” at Thanksgiving, saying they should “suffer the consequences of your votes.”

Kutler is making other major changes at MSNBC as she looks to change the fortunes of the network, where ratings have consistently trailed behind Fox News.

In December, Nielsen Media Research revealed that Reid had lost almost half her viewers since the election of Donald Trump, with MSNBC seeing a whopping 53% drop in primetime viewership following the Nov. 5 result.

That same month, MSNBC reportedly offered some of its most prominent stars, including Reid as well as Stephanie Ruhle, major pay cuts if they wanted to remain in their anchor chairs.

Kutler, a former senior executive at CNN has made it clear that MSNBC faces unique challenges as it looks to work with a Trump White House and prepares to be spun off into a new publicly traded company along with other NBCU cable networks.

“Our jobs are hard on a normal day, and these are not normal times,” Kutler told MSNBC employees on the first day her role was announced by Mark Lazarus, the NBCU executive who is leading the new spin-off.

I owe the television part of my career to Joy Reid, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her.

And *that's* why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

Bet you anything this was the favorite show of LathamTouchedMe, Obeezy, Longwangpoontang, Rudolph, and Deranged Penguin / Bart, although it was too highbrow for Benzo and WLMAS.

I think Elie is simply in denial. All these people are interchangeable.

Although I'm not sure Symone Sanders is actually a human.
