The Weeknight is an American political news discussion program broadcast by MS NOW. Premiering on May 5, 2025, the program is co-hosted by Alicia Menendez, Symone Sanders-Townsend, and Michael Steele. It airs on weeknights at 7:00 p.m. ET, with an additional 8:00 p.m. hour also airing on Mondays.
The series is a weekday spin-off of The Weekend—a similar show that Menendez, Sanders-Townsend, and Steele had hosted from its January 2024 premiere through April 2025.
History
[edit]The Weekend originally premiered in January 2024 as part of a revamp of MSNBC's weekend morning lineup, featuring Alicia Menendez, Symone Sanders-Townsend, and Michael Steele.[2][3] In February 2025, new MSNBC head Rebecca Kutler announced a revamp of the network's weekday primetime lineup, including the release of Joy Reid and cancellation of her show The ReidOut (which originally premiered in 2020 as a replacement for Hardball, following the departure of Chris Matthews),[4] and that Menendez, Sanders-Townsend, and Steele would move to a new weeknight program in its place.[5][6]
The new program was later announced as The Weeknight, with a premiere set for May 5, 2025; the program replaced The ReidOut in its 7 p.m. ET timeslot. It also airs a second, 8 p.m. hour on Monday nights, substituting for All In with Chris Hayes; the hour had previously been filled by a primetime edition of Inside with Jen Psaki after All In moved to a Tuesday–Friday schedule in 2023. As part of the same schedule revamp, Inside moved to a Tuesday–Friday schedule itself under the new title The Briefing to replace Alex Wagner Tonight.[7][8]
Format
[edit]The Weeknight and both editions of its sister programs,The Weekend and The Weekend: Primetime, roughly follow the same format as each other – featuring roundtable discussions and interviews with the show's anchors and then with key newsmakers and politicians. The show also features commentary from the anchor team.
