Report: MSNBC mulls moving Brian Williams out of late-night and into an earlier timeslot
-
It's been four years since Williams was suspended and booted from his NBC Nightly News anchor job. Page Six reports that Williams has been doing well in the 11 p.m. ET timeslot on MSNB that he might end up in an earlier timeslot, possibly replacing Chris Matthews' Hardball at 7 p.m. ET or Chuck Todd's MTP Daily. "Around MSNBC watercoolers, there’s also a wild theory that Williams could one day replace the hugely successful Morning Joe broadcast, should host and former pol Joe Scarborough revive his political career or exit for any reason," says Page Six.
