Rashida Jones to Exit MSNBC; Rebecca Kutler Named Interim President
Rashida Jones will exit MSNBC after four years, replaced on interim basis by Rebecca Kutler
She takes the lead role at MSNBC as it faces not only the challenges of covering the Trump administration for its demoralized liberal audience but also the prospect of being spun off into a new publicly traded company by corporate parent Comcast. During her time at the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed outlet, she not only worked as an executive producer for Don Lemon and John King, among others, but played a role in establishing personalities such as Abby Phillip, Van Jones, Chris Wallace, Audie Cornish and Kasie Hunt at the network. One person familiar with the situation said Jones felt the time had come to consider other roles after an intense cycle that has involved not only managing a primetime schedule as Rachel Maddow, the star of the network, scaled back her presence, but exploring digital projects and live events as linear audiences migrate to streaming.
