Cheers to a solid launch for MSNBC's "The ReidOut" – but from here on out, it's time to get tougher
SalonThe debut week of MSNBC's "The ReidOut" featured A-list guests eager to chat with Joy Reid, the very first being the Democrats' presumptive nominee Joe Biden and former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Hosting "The ReidOut" makes Reid the first Black woman to anchor a prime-time cable news program, joining a lengthening list of such firsts in 2020. "AM Joy" covered many of the same topics Reid touched upon during her first week – race, politics culture – and Reid has closely reported upon Black Lives Matter since the movement emerged in 2013. The debut episode of "The ReidOut" attracted 2.6 million viewers, making it the second-highest rated program in the 7 p.m. time slot in MSNBC's history, according to Nielsen Media Research data – an auspicious start to a week in which Reid's groundbreaking achievement was cheered by her interview subjects.
