Rachel Maddow reportedly will go on hiatus from her primetime talk show on MSNBC to focus on movie and podcast projects, including a film directed by Ben Stiller.

Maddow told staffers at the left-leaning, Comcast-owned network that she will step aside for a few weeks to devote time to her side projects, Business Insider reported on Monday.

She is expected to announce the move to viewers during Monday night’s broadcast.

Maddow will executive produce a Focus Features movie based on her book and podcast, “Bag Man,” about a political bribery scandal.

Hard money the 'film' - the reason for the post, NOT the hag's hiatus - isn't about demoncrats.

Also bet that this fits into midterms...

Yeah he’s had a few, but its always due to the others in the cast, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr, Owen Wilson.

All politics aside, for a comedienne Stiller just isn’t very funny IMO.

She “making a film.” LOL.

Its guaranteed to be a financial and artistic failure. Without a doubt.

So why is it being made?

For ratings, she is the strongest part of their evening schedule.

If the movie producers wanted her bad enough, they would have worked around her schedule. She’s lying, she won’t be back.

“..movie based on her book and podcast, “Bag Man,” about a political bribery scandal.“

Of COURSE, it’ll be all about Republicans.
- Because political bribery scheming ISN’T THE standard way of life for all politicians in Washington DC…

My favorite was Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder.
I couldn’t believe they got him to agree to it.

She’s their highest-rated host. Now the network’s one viewer won’t be watching.
