On an otherwise quiet Sunday afternoon in late February, MSNBC dumped veteran anchor Joy Reid and canceled five shows. Then, less than 24 hours later, "NBC Nightly News" anchor Lester Holt announced that he, too, would step down this summer after a 10-year run.

Live hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che were locked in this week when tackling headlines, addressing disasters from Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s meeting with president Donald Trump to MSNBC’s cancellation of Joy Reid’s show.

NBC’s veteran Lester Holt, 65, is stepping down as anchor of the network’s flagship “Nightly News” broadcast in the coming months. Holt, who has been the face of “Nightly News” for a decade, won’t be leaving NBC altogether, however. In a memo to staff Monday, he said he would be expanding his work on NBC’s “Dateline,” taking on a full-time role.
