Some of MSNBC’s biggest stars are – in extraordinary on-air fashion – rebuking management’s decision to cancel Joy Reid and Alex Wagner’s shows and lay off their production staffs.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow called out her network for dropping her soon-to-be former colleagues such as Joy Reid, Alex Wagner, and Katie Phang. Maddow also noted that the network's primetime lineup will become much more white.

MSNBC is set to drop Joy Reid's "The ReidOut," which will air its final show on the network this week, TheWrap has learned. The cancellation is part of Rebecca Kutler's vision for the network moving forward.
