On Thursday, MSNBC announced Joy Reid’s new role for the 7 P.M. weeknight hour, The ReidOut. Joy Reid is a political analyst and host, who will be the first black woman to host a nightly evening news show. The time slot was previously anchored by Chris Matthews, who announced his retirement in March.

The ReidOut will feature one-on-one conversations with politicians, covering all political issues of the day, as well as one-on-one conversations with newsmakers. The show will debut on July 20.

A replacement for Reid’s weekend show "AM Joy," will be named this fall.

Reid also recently wrote the New York Times best-seller The Man Who Sold America: Trump and the Unraveling of the American Story.
