Rita Cosby Lets Go Of Live & Direct

Rita Cosby said goodbye to her MSNBC show last night.

“Well, it has been an amazing year hosting shows Live & Direct as you saw from various locations throughout the world,” she said. I have had a great time bringing the latest breaking news, and hopefully some interesting interviews to all of you. You will soon see me at 10:00 and 11:00 p.m. during some of the top rated ‘MSNBC Investigates’ and doing some Rita Cosby specials, bringing you some of the top news makers and most fascinating people out there.”

“I am really looking forward to this next move, and I am also so proud of the great work that we have done right here,” Cosby added. She talked about her staff in detail: Angie Dorr, Eric Spinato, Nina Bradley, John Nichols, Neil O’Brien, Steve Forrest, Andy Dallas, Darren Mackoff, Jen Weill, Dave Foster, Jim Moseley, Ken, Olga, Nanda, Kristy, Isabel, Meredith, Brian, Adrienne, Claudia, Kara, and Amy.

And then she reminded viewers again: “We’re going to see you very soon, same time, same channel with hopefully some great interviews on ‘MSNBC Reports’ and also ‘Rita Cosby Specials.’ I‘ll see you soon everybody…”
