| Eugene Daniels Joining MSNBC Full-Time |
Eugene Daniels, a White House correspondent for Politico, is joining MSNBC full-time as a host.
The LA Times reports the Comcast Corp.-owned news channel announced Monday that Daniels, 36, will join the morning edition of “The Weekend,” a three-hour program airing Saturdays and Sundays. He will be joined by Washington Post journalist Jonathan Capehart and another co-host to be named soon.
The current hosts of “The Weekend” — Michael Steele, Alicia Menendez and Symone Sanders-Townsend — are moving to the 7 p.m. Eastern weekday time period vacated by Joy Reid. The new program will begin in late April.
Daniels also will be senior Washington correspondent for MSNBC, which is building its own news operation after being part of NBC News since its launch in 1996.
He is the first outside hire under MSNBC President Rebecca Kutler, who is leading the news network as it becomes part of a new company spun off from Comcast.
Daniels has been an MSNBC contributor since 2021, appearing regularly on “Morning Joe.” He will leave Politico to take on his new role.
