I saw an article quoting Joe that he'd like to get the show back to what it was before Trump, when they had a variety of guests from news, politics, entertainment,  authors, etc. He wants to get away from the format of the show currently.

TBH, so would I. He and Mika are both on live at 9 am this morning. Guess cancelling Joy Reid's show was the FAFO moment the new President of MSNBC was hoping for.  Everybody get your shit together or there's the door. 

Changing the format is the right idea. They also need to get away from the regular guests. The first hour had the two boring Brits and a regular predictable, boring foreign policy guy. The 3rd hour had another boring Brit, hyping Rahm Emmanuel, of all people, as a role model for Dems. Rahm left the Chicago Mayor position with approval in the low 20s, for Pete's sake. Why do the evening shows always seem to have more relevant, interesting guests? Maybe it's difficult to bring in such folks in the early hours? Bring in (non-MAGA) people with different perspectives, like they used to bring in those Commentary guys. Matt Welch from Reason was on occasionally.
