Why Is Rachel Maddow Only On Monday? Where Is Rachel Maddow From?

Rachael Maddow will only host her MSNBC show on Monday nights, as part of a new contract she signed with the network that will allow her time to work on other projects for MSNBC and NBC, including a film version of her award-winning podcast Bag Man, directed by Ben Stiller.

In some ways, it’s the end of an era for MSNBC, where Maddow has hosted her popular show for nearly 14 years.

It has grown into the most-watched program on the network, regularly drawing more than 2 million viewers, going toe-to-toe on most nights with Fox News host Sean Hannity (CNN remains a distant third).

So far, MSNBC isn’t announcing a permanent host to replace Maddow at 9 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. But they are renaming the show MSNBC Prime on those nights, another sign Maddow’s move is permanent.

For now, the network will turn to a series of guest hosts. First up is Ali Velshi, who will host this week and was a regular fill-in during Maddow’s hiatus.
