The 11th Hour with Brian Williams is a one hour nightly news and politics television program airing weeknights at 11:00 pm ET on MSNBC, the network's flagship evening newscast. It is hosted by Brian Williams, the network's chief anchor and former host of NBC Nightly News.[1]

History

The show launched on September 6, 2016, as a temporary program wrapping up the election news of the day, while previewing stories that will be top-ticket news items the next morning.[2]

The program is Williams' second show in MSNBC's primetime schedule, as he formerly hosted The News with Brian Williams from 1996 to 2004. Williams hosts the program Monday through Friday evenings.

After the 2016 election, the program continued to air despite its initial billing as a temporary program.[3]

NBC News contributors Nicolle Wallace and Eugene Robinson provided commentary on most of the 2016 editions. Wallace also serves as a substitute anchor in Williams' absence. Wallace's duties on the program resulted in her hosting her own show at 4 pm ET. [4]
