SNL’s Michael Che wonders if he is the next black anchor in NBC Na Joy Reid
During the “Saturday Night Live” weekend this weekend, Co -anchor Michael Che pointed to an uncomfortable truth: NBCuniveral loses two prominent black news anchors at the same time.
MSNBC Anchor Joy Reid, who previously filled the 7 p.m. lock, was released as part of a huge rescheduling of talent at the News Cabler. And NBC Nightly News -anchor Lester Holt announced this week that he left the chair after a decade.
That of course caused him that he should torture that he might be the next to go.
“This week, MSNBC fired his only non-white Primetime-Gastheer, and Lester Holt announced that he was resigning as the anchor of NBC Nightly News,” said Che. “Well, nbc, another to go, honey,” he added, pointing in a photo of himself.
Since 2014, Che has had a co-worship of the “SNL’s” weekend update with Colin Jost and has replaced Cecily Strong in the role. (Che and Jost had served on SNL from 2017 to 2022.
Het vertrek van Reid en Holt zijn afkomstig van zeer verschillende hoeken: Holt kondigde deze week zijn eigen vertrek aan in een memo voor personeel: “Na 10 jaar, 17 als je mijn jaren in het weekend opneemt, is het tijd voor mij om weg te stappen van mijn rol als anker van ‘Nightly News’. Het is echt de eer geweest van je leven om elke dag met jullie te werken, de journalistiek te houden als ons ware noorden en onze kijkers centraal in alles wat we DOEN, “Holt wrote at the same time that he would stay with NBC News and concentrate his work on ‘Dateline’.
With regard to Reid, who has been a storage place in MSNBC since 2020 (when she replaced veteran Chris Matthews), the departure has come much more controversy. That included criticism from the inside MSNBC, where Ster -hastheer Rachel Maddow shot her employer because he had let Reid go. ‘Joy Reid’s Show,’ The Reidout ‘, ended tonight. And joy does not take any other job in the network. She leaves the network completely and that is very, very, very difficult to take, “said Maddow on February 24.” I don’t want to lose her as a colleague here at MSNBC, and I personally think it’s a bad mistake to let her walk out the door. “
