MSNBC anchor Joy Reid signed off from her show the final time Monday, Feb. 25, 2025.

Reid, who has been hosting “The ReidOut” since 2020, opted to wear a lavender and black hoodie emblazoned with the show logo. It also even sported a “Tonight at 7 p.m.” line on the left sleeve and the MSNBC logo on one side of the front.

At the end of the program, Reid thanked her behind-the-scenes team with an on-air tribute, including showing headshots of what was labeled “The ReidOut Family” on the so-called “Kornacki Curve” in Studio 3A in New York (Reid was in Washington, D.C.).

She also continued to thank individuals as the show cut to a split screen of two views of its two control rooms — one in D.C. and one in NYC.

MSNBC has since updated its schedule to feature “MSNBC Prime” in the 7 p.m. eastern slot.

The network previously used this branding as a filler when “The Rachel Maddow Show” went to a once-per-week format in 2022 and until the now-canceled “Alex Wagner Tonight” debuted later that same year.

During that period, the show retained much of Rachel Maddow’s look of red, light gray and blue blocks with a “torn paper edge” effect frequently used between sections of these colors.

The show also largely stuck to a similar format as Maddow.

It was not immediately clear what format the latest version of “MSNBC Prime” will use or what look it might use.
