The Briefing with Jen Psaki is a political news program on MSNBC hosted by former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki airing Tuesdays through Fridays at 9:00 pm ET. The program originally began on March 19, 2023, as a Sunday program titled Inside with Jen Psaki, and quickly became one of MSNBC's most-watched weekend programs, leading it to be expanded to Mondays. On May 6, 2025, the program was retitled to its current name and moved into MSNBC's primetime lineup.
History
[edit]Psaki described the series as aiming to step back and provide viewers with a "big picture" take on the week's events, avoiding overt partisanship, while maintaining her authentic voice as a former campaign and communications official for Democratic politicians.[1] The show debuted on March 19, 2023 and became MSNBC's most-watched weekend premiere since January 2019.[2]
On September 25, 2023, Inside added a second, prime time edition on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET; the program substituted for All In with Chris Hayes, which had moved to a Tuesday–Friday schedule to accommodate Chris Hayes' other projects.[3] Inside's Sunday episodes were MSNBC's highest rated program on weekends.[4]
Following the 2024 United States presidential election, the program was retitled The Briefing with Jen Psaki,[5] and moved to a Tuesday–Friday schedule in a new 9 p.m. time slot on May 6, 2025, replacing Alex Wagner Tonight and substituting for The Rachel Maddow Show (which had moved to a Monday-only schedule in 2022 for similar reasons).[6][4][7]
