Maddow Is Back With Reduced Schedule, Not Planning Another Break
has been on hiatus from her 9 p.m. show since February 4, although she did appear for a few nights to cover the Russian invasion of Ukraine and President Joe Biden’s State of Union speech.
She has been working on a variety of other projects for MSNBC and NBC.“It’s really, really, really nice to be back,” the out host said upon her return Monday, adding. “The hiatus has been fantastic.
I’m really grateful for it.” She thanked the network, her show staff, and the colleagues who filled in as hosts, especially Ali Velshi, who has also been reporting from Ukraine.“You should know thar Ali Velshi really is a prince among men. … You should be so lucky ever to have a coworker as great as Ali Velshi,” she said.Then she answered the question on viewers’ minds: Will she take another hiatus, an option she left open when she took this one?
There has been speculation that she will end the show, which is MSNBC’s highest-rated.“One of the things I realized to my surprise is that I don’t actually don’t really need another hiatus,” she said.
