MSNBC Revamps Lineup Amid Trump Presidency, Roberta Flack Dies at 88, and Steve Harvey’s Reunion with Marjorie

MSNBC’s Programming Overhaul Under New Leadership  

In a major programming shift, MSNBC is canceling Joy Reid’s show, The ReidOut, as part of broader changes under new president Rebecca Kutler. This shake-up aims to align the network with its progressive values amid Donald Trump’s presidency. The slot will be replaced by co-hosts from The Weekend, and Jen Psaki’s show, Inside with Jen Psaki, is expected to move to primetime. MSNBC’s veteran host, Rachel Maddow, will also return to the air once a week. Kutler, who has taken over as president, is seeking to position the network for future growth despite challenges from a corporate spinoff with Comcast. As part of her leadership, she is also recruiting fresh talent such as Eugene Daniels and Melissa Murray to bring new energy to the network.

The Legacy of Roberta Flack

In sad news, Grammy-winning singer Roberta Flack passed away at the age of 88 after a long battle with ALS, which had prevented her from singing in recent years. Known for her iconic hit “Killing Me Softly with His Song,” Flack's music touched millions around the world. Throughout her career, which spanned over five decades, she was not only celebrated for her musical talent—winning five Grammy Awards—but also for her activism in addressing social issues like racial injustice and economic inequality. Her timeless classics, including “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” continue to inspire artists like Lauryn Hill, Lizzo, and Ariana Grande, leaving a lasting impact on both the music industry and social activism.

Steve Harvey's Journey to Reconnecting with Marjorie

Steve Harvey shared an intimate account of how he reconnected with his now-wife, Marjorie, just one day after finalizing his divorce from his second wife in 2005. After the divorce, Harvey flew to Memphis to meet Marjorie, and the two quickly rekindled their romance. Despite being nearly broke—Harvey had only $1,700 to his name—Marjorie stood by him through financial struggles, helping him rebuild his career and life. Over the years, Harvey has spoken openly about the challenges of blending their families, which now includes seven children from their respective marriages. Despite the difficulties and public scrutiny, their bond has remained strong, and their story continues to inspire many.
