Alex Morgan Tonight

Alex Wagner is set to be MSNBC’s news prime time host, and the network has just released details of her new 9 PM show, set to air on Tuesdays through Fridays in the spot long hosted by Rachel Maddow.

Alex Wagner Tonight will first air on Tuesday, August 16th. Additionally, Wagner will appear as a guest on MSNBC’s The ReidOut Tuesday evening to discuss the primaries and their impact on the 2022 midterm elections, per an MSNBC spokesperson.

Wagner was selected to host the four-day-a-week program following news that Maddow will only host The Rachel Maddow Show on Mondays only of each week. Maddow is the top-rated MSNBC host, and after flirting with stepping away from cable news altogether, negotiated a new lucrative deal that allows her to focus on other projects, like documentaries and podcasts, while only having to host one show per week, all to the tune of a reported $30 million per year.
