MSNBC is getting closer to finding a replacement for weekend show A.M. Joy

Variety

Joy Reid's mid-morning weekend show is up for grabs since Reid took over the weekday primetime Hardball timeslot earlier this summer. "Zerlina Maxwell, Jonathan Capehart and Tiffany Cross are among the people being considered for permanent duties in the two-hour weekend time period Reid anchored for four years," reports Variety's Brian Steinberg. "Executives are said to be interested in someone who brings with them a sizable following that they could harness for digital projects like podcasts, and other content initiatives. Other candidates may be in the mix and there’s no guarantee at present that any member of the aforementioned trio has a lead on the job."
