Photo by Craig Blankenhorn/MSNBC/Associated PressTHE BOW TIE IS OUT at MNSBC. David Gregory is replacing Tucker Carlson as host of a one-hour show each evening.

The news network is making a handful of changes to respond to heavy political interest.

Gregory's new show is called "Race for the White House" and will be on each weekday at 6 p.m. starting next Monday.

Carlson has been at MSNBC for nearly three years.

MSNBC also says that Andrea Mitchell will anchor an hour each afternoon. Keith Olbermann's popular "Countdown" program will rerun every night at 10.

  • I Second That! Tucker was my breath of fresh air, the one I can count on to say it exactly like it is. I am Heartsick at what the jerks have done! Quick, Fox, Grab Tucker before he gets away! There are no Libertarians at Fox and we need That one.

    As for Joe, he is already being undermined every time he turns his back by that sneering snarling catty wench, Mika Brzschinski and her father and brother's agenda. She literally sits behind him and pulls faces at any Conservative thing he says. I do NOT believe Joe would have put her there himself! It is part and parcel of MSNBC's Liberal Leftwing Agenda! There is not even a moderate left there alone now. And to add Andrea and Keith - YUCK! Talk about change the channel fast!
    But look on the bright side, we can now get the family package, much cheaper and does not carry MSNBC. And sit back and watch MSNBC's Ratings sink lower and lower in the toilet bowl whaere they so surely belong!
