Melissa Harris-Perry, a longtime contributor to the network, was given her own
weekend show on MSNBC starting in February, The Huffington Post
reports.
The smoking hot Tulane
University professor has commentated on everything from political scandals
to American social issues. Harris-Perry announced the news of her new hosting
role via Tweeter.
She has an impressive resume:
Harris-Perry has been a frequent
guest on MSNBC, with appearances on “The Rachel Maddow Show,” Al Sharpton’s
“PoliticsNation,” and “The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell.” Harris-Perry has
filled in for hosts Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell.
Harris-Perry’s ascension is also
notable in an industry often derided for its lack of diversity. She is now one
of two black women, and three black hosts anchoring programs on MSNBC.
Congratulations to Dr.
Harris-Perry! We’re sure she’ll elevate the intellectual depth of MSNBC’s
programming and take on the most-challenging issues of the day with the kind of
sophisticated sass and vigor that is often lacking on mainstream television.
