MSNBC Anchor Andrea Mitchell Leaving Show After 17 Years

MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell will soon leave the job she’s held for more than 16 years. Get more details about her departure from Andrea Mitchell Reports and an update on her career.

Andrea Mitchell will soon sign off her MSNBC show.

The final episode of the 78-year-old’s series Andrea Mitchell Reports will air Feb. 7, according to multiple reports.

The TV news host, who anchored the series for more than 16 years, had first revealed her plans to end her eponymous program in October, noting that she planned to step down following the presidential inauguration in January while remaining NBC News’ Chief Washington Correspondent and Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent for NBC News.

“In my heart and soul, I am first and foremost a reporter and a storyteller,” Mitchell said on Andrea Mitchell Reports at the time. “After 16 years of being in the anchor chair every day, I want time to do more of what I love the most.”

She continued, “Still with NBC News and at MSNBC. Still as Chief Washington and Foreign Affairs Correspondent. Just not on a schedule of a daily show. From primaries, debates, elections and inaugurals here at home to breaking news around the globe, yubi, my goal will continue as it has always been to bring you, our viewers, the major newsmakers shaping our country and the world right here on MSNBC.”

Michell said that she looked forward after the presidential inauguration in January to share all her plans and bring viewers her “reporting in new ways right here across all of NBC News and MSNBC for many years to come.”

News about the final episode of Andrea Mitchell Reports comes days after longtime NBC News colleague Chuck Todd announced he was departing the company after nearly 20 years.

“Today is my last day at NBC,” the 52-year-old said in a Jan. 31 memo to colleagues. “There’s never a perfect time to leave a place that’s been a professional home for so long, but I’m pretty excited about a few new projects that are on the cusp of going from ‘pie in the sky’ to ‘near reality.'”

Todd also said he was taking his ChuckToddcast podcast along with him.

“Thank you, NBC,” he wrote. “Stay tuned for an announcement about its new home soon. Needless to say, I do plan to continue to share my reporting and unique perspective of covering politics with data and history as important baselines in understanding where we were, where we are and where we’re going.”
