MSNBC will be the new home of Jen Psaki, who left her role as President Joe Biden's press secretary earlier this month.
According to MSNBC President Rashida Jones, Psaki will host her own show on MSNBC in the first quarter of 2023. She will appear on both NBC and MSNBC during prime time coverage of the 2020 and 2020 presidential elections, according to a statement from NBCUniversal.
Jones said thatJen's sharp wit and relatability combined with the mastery of the subjects she covers have made her a household name across the nation.
Psaki's show will be on NBCUniversal's flagship streaming service. NBC News President Cesar Conde has prioritized boosting the streaming service's news offerings by shifting select MSNBC programming, including documentaries and specials, to Peacock, which has more than 28 million monthly active accounts and 13 million paid subscribers.
Biden's press secretary for the first 16 months of his office was Psaki. In a four-year term, it is common for presidents to have multiple press secretaries. Psaki was succeeded by Karine Jean-Pierre.
The woman who worked as the Vice President's top spokeswoman joined MSNBC.
A number of communications officials have moved on to news broadcasting. George Stephanopoulos was a communications director for the Clintons. Nicolle Wallace was a senior spokeswoman for the George W. Bush administration. Former President Donald Trump's press secretary joined Fox News as a commentator last year.
Psaki was President Barack Obama's communications director.
The big questions on the minds of people across the country have never been more important, and I am thrilled to join the incredible MSNBC team.
