MSNBC taps Stephanie Ruhle to succeed Brian Williams as '11th Hour' host

MSNBC's daytime host Stephanie Ruhle is moving to late night where she will take over the NBCUniversal-owned cable news channel's "The 11th Hour."

Ruhle, who is also senior business analyst for NBC News, will occupy the 11 p.m. ET time slot vacated by Brian Williams, who chose not to sign a new deal with MSNBC at the end of last year. Staffers were informed of the move Thursday in a memo from MSNBC President Rashida Jones.

Ruhle, 46, is currently a 9 a.m anchor on "Stephanie Ruhle Reports." Her time slot will be absorbed by the Beltway-focused "Morning Joe," hosted by Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist, which expands to four hours.
