This year's MSNBC Live '25 will feature a star-studded lineup of hosts and personalities, including Rachel Maddow, Jen Psaki, Joe Scarborough, Nicolle Wallace, Mika Brzezinski, Jacob Soboroff, Lawrence O'Donnell, and more. The daylong event will include live panels, discussions, and interviews, providing a unique opportunity for the audience to engage with these influential figures.
Among the highlights of the event, Jacob Soboroff will conduct an interview, while the Capstone Lunch will feature a conversation between Nicolle Wallace and Mika Brzezinski about women's empowerment. Katie Tur will also participate in a discussion during the Capstone Lunch.
As for the evening session, it will include Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, Jen Psaki, Ari Melber, and Stephanie Ruhle. The session will be followed by a dinner featuring Maddow, Psaki, Ruhle, and special guests.
Regarding the MSNBC network, there have been some changes recently. Jen Psaki will take over the primetime 9 p.m. slot from Tuesday to Friday starting in spring 2025, replacing Alex Wagner. Wagner, who hosted the show previously, will remain with MSNBC as a senior political analyst. Joy Reid's show, The ReidOut at 7 p.m., has been canceled, and she is leaving the network. Until a new show is launched, the 7 p.m. hour will be filled by guest or rotating hosts. The 7 p.m. hour will also be taken over by the trio from The Weekend: Symone Sanders Townsend, Michael Steele, and Alicia Menendez. They will co-host a weeknight show, including a two-hour segment on Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m.
The lineup changes also involve reshuffling weekend and dayside hours with key talent elevated to evenings. Rachel Maddow will reduce her schedule to one night a week (Monday), which opens the 9 p.m. Tuesday–Friday slot for Psaki. MSNBC's president, Rebecca Kutler, communicated the changes internally as part of broader daytime, primetime, and weekend lineup overhauls aimed at reinvigorating the network’s schedule and making room for new programming.
Tickets for MSNBC Live '25, starting at $100, are now available for purchase. For more information and to secure your spot, visit the link provided in Monday's news release.
