MSNBC is finalizing its previously announced schedule changes, revealing details about three new panel shows centered around the “The Weekend” brand and Jen Psaki’s new show, taking over the 9 p.m. slot four nights a week. The Weeknight, hosted by Symone Sanders-Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez, premieres May 5, 2025, at 7 p.m. ET. It will air for one hour Tuesday through Friday, expanding to two hours on Mondays.
“All In with Chris Hayes” continues its Tuesday-Friday run from 8 to 9 p.m., while “Inside with Jen Psaki” concludes its weeknight run to allow Psaki to move to the 9 p.m. slot four nights a week. The Weeknight will adopt a modified version of “The Weekend’s” look, featuring a color palette focused on blues, violets, and magenta. The show’s logo retains the distinctive “n” with a dotted halftone pattern, though its design differs from the original.
Psaki’s show, The Briefing with Jen Psaki, debuts May 6, 2025, at 9 p.m., airing Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays following “The Rachel Maddow Show’s” one-night-a-week airing. The show retains much of “Inside’s” aesthetic, with beige outlines of Washington, D.C.’s street grid and a sans serif typeface. The names, “Inside” and “The Briefing,” are fitting given Psaki’s former role as White House press secretary.
The morning installment of The Weekend will largely retain its previous look. Key art features the new hosts, Jonathan Capeheart, Eugene Daniels, and Jackie Alemany. The Weekend: Primetime, however, boasts a dark gray background and a color palette emphasizing reds, greens, and blues. The evening version’s color scheme is reminiscent of RGB, common in modern displays. With four hosts (Ayman Mohyeldin, Catherine Rampell, Antonia Hylton, and Elise Jordan), the key art incorporates an additional frame. This version uses the original “The Weekend” logo with “Primetime” below.
Both versions of “The Weekend” premiere May 3, 2025. Studio locations remain undetermined. “The Weekend” uses Studio N5 in NBC’s Washington, D.C., bureau, while “The Weeknight” could originate from various spaces in 30 Rockefeller Center, including Studio 3A or 3AW. The Briefing may continue using Studio N1. Future relocation is possible due to Comcast’s potential spin-off of its cable properties.
