Rachel Maddow, the host of "The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC, took a hiatus from her show from February to April 2022 to coincide with production on the film adaptation of her award-winning podcast "Bag Man". After her hiatus, she returned to her show and made it official for her viewers that they would have her four nights a week through the end of the month, and then, starting in May, she would be there weekly on Monday nights. This is part of a new contract she signed with the network that will allow her time to work on other projects for MSNBC and NBC, including a film version of "Bag Man," directed by Ben Stiller.
