Alex Wagner has been picked to succeed Rachel Maddow in Maddow’s lynchpin 9 p.m. time slot at MSNBC. Wagner, a political veteran who recently returned to MSNBC as a senior political analyst and guest anchor in February, will host a show Tuesday-Fridays, with Maddow to continue on Mondays.
The new show is set to debut August 16, just in time for the heat of the midterm elections.
The New York Times, which broke the news Monday, said the Maddow-hosted show on Mondays will continue to to be titled The Rachel Maddow Show. A name for Wagner’s show is TBD.

Maddow, the network’s most watched star, signed a multi-year agreement with NBCUniversal and MSNBC last year, but she has said she planned to scale back her nightly schedule.
Earlier this year, Maddow took a hiatus from the The Rachel Maddow Show from early February to early April, saying she was taking a break to work on a movie version of her Bag Man podcast and other projects. At the time of her return, she said that there “may eventually be another hiatus again sometime in my future, but for now we’re just taking it one step at a time.”
When she returned, she announced she will go to a Monday-only schedule. Rotating hosts including Wagner have been filling in since then.
The network has been looking to stabilize the ratings of the high-profile slot, which have dropped with fill-in hosts. In the first quarter of this year, Rachel Maddow averaged 1.84 million viewers, compared to 3.6 million in the same period in 2021.

Kanye West has been sued for copyright infringement again, Billboard reports and court documents reviewed by The FADER confirm. A complaint filed Wednesday in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York by attorneys for Ultra International Music Publishing (UIMP) claims Ye did not clear the sample of Marshall Jefferson’s 1986 house anthem “Move Your Body” that can allegedly be heard at least 22 times on the Donda 2 track “Flowers.” Like the rest of Donda 2, “Flowers” was released in late February exclusively on Stem Player, an MP3 device created specifically for the album in collaboration with Alex Klein and his company, Kano Computing Limited.

The suit, seen by Billboard, also cites a 2020 interview in which West said he would “work with anyone who treats artists fairly and righteous,” using this quote to call out alleged “hypocrisy”.
