Yikes.....didn't know this....Ali Velshi is moving to week nights???

MS NOW’s Ali Velshi got emotional on his show on Saturday following the announcement that he’ll be leaving the weekend show after six years to move into weeknights.

Velshi brought on the reporter taking his place, MS NOW senior political and national reporter Jacob Soboroff, and praised him while also growing a bit emotional while discussing his leaving a show with his literal name as the title.

“Now, as many of you have probably heard by now, I will be leaving this, my namesake weekend program in the next few months to host the eleventh hour on weeknights and to track the midterm cycle as MS NOW’s new chief data reporter. And while I am excited for this new chapter, I’m departing with a heavy heart, knowing that I am leaving a show that’s given me so much,” Velshi said, taking a beat as his voice grew unsteady for a moment.

He continued by bringing on Soboroff who admitted Velshi had made him emotional with his introduction.

Velshi is one of the best on the channel, and deserved more than a weekend slot.

“Chief data reporter” - I think that means he will take Kornacki’s role, now that SK is exclusively on NBC.

I look forward to his new show, and especially his election coverage.
