Donny Deutsch’s MSNBC show to end after less than 4 months

Donny’s Deutsch’s “Saturday Night Politics” will be going off the air after just 13 episodes on MSNBC. 

Deutsch, a marketing and branding expert who often appears on the network’s “Morning Joe,” launched his Saturday show in May.

{mosads}Ratings for the show did not improve after its debut drew 919,000 viewers in early May.

“Saturday Night Politics” last aired on Aug. 17.

The show finished a distant second to Fox News Channel’s “Watters World” in the cable news race in the total viewers, but was third in the 25- to 54-year-old demographic sought by advertisers behind FNC and “CNN Newsroom.”

MSNBC will fill the space with reruns of the Friday edition of “All In with Chris Hayes” moving forward. 

Deutsch took to Twitter to announce the show’s run had come to an end while informing viewers he will continue to appear on “Morning Joe.” 

 

The 61-year-old New York City native is a staunch critic of President Trump, often leveling personal attacks on him.

Deutsch also once hosted “The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch” on CNBC from 2004-2008.
