The White House press office has long been a reliable path to a TV news career. There are currently five hosts who have previously worked there, and President Joe Biden's former press secretary, Jen Psaki, joins their ranks Sunday when her weekly hourlong show debuts on MSNBC at noon Eastern.
Psaki, who previously worked for former President Barack Obama and John Kerry when he served as secretary of State, has logged enough hours in front of the camera to be a familiar face to news viewers. But "Inside With Jen Psaki" will still be something of an introduction.
"She gets to really speak for herself for the first time in her career," said Rebecca Kutler, senior vice president of content strategy for MSNBC. "It will be a great opportunity for the audience to get to know Jen."
