Rachel Maddow confirms MSNBC hiatus, hints at more absences

R&I – FS

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow confirmed she plans to take a weeks-long hiatus from her primetime news show to work on a movie project with Ben Stiller – and hinted further absences could follow in the future.

Broadcasting from home Monday night due to a close contact with a COVID-19 case, Maddow said she will step away after Thursday night’s show and return in April, confirming news reports from a day earlier. The anchor said she will return for major news events, including President Biden’s State of the Union address on March 1.

“There may eventually be another hiatus sometime in my future, but for now, we’re just taking it one step at a time,” Maddow said.
