Making sure that it draws as many viewers as possible to avoid cancellation, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow repeatedly hailed the launch of Joy Reid’s weekend show during her eponymous show Thursday night as a significant move for “one of the smartest, best-informed, and most acutely observant voices in any media” that’s truly “a blessing” for news consumers. 

In introducing Reid for a segment discussing the 2016 election, Maddow congratulated her before inquiring about what the format of the unnamed show will be and Reid essentially described it as being what the now-departed Melissa Harris-Perry ran her show.
