News veterans Shepard Smith, Steve Kornacki and Joy Reid are all on the shortlist to take over Chris Matthews’ abruptly vacated seat on MSNBC’s “Hardball,” sources told The Post.
The legendary political journalist surprised viewers Monday when he abruptly announced his retirement in the wake of accusations that he acted inappropriately toward a female guest, leaving Kornacki, a national political correspondent, to fill in.
In addition to Kornacki, who is known for giving analysis of polls and election results, network brass are thinking of giving “Hardball” to Reid, who hosts MSNBC’s popular weekend show “AM Joy.”
Reid frequently substitutes for other MSNBC hosts, including Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow.
Meanwhile, Smith, who quit his Fox News show “Shepard Smith Reporting” in October, is preparing for a return to TV in the summer and is also being considered, sources said.
The “Hardball” 7 p.m. slot is a tricky one to fill, according to a senior news TV source.

Well. CNN and PMSNBC do seem to favor homosexuals as anchors..........
Are they changing the name to “Goofball” too?
We could deny the slot to Reid with a Twitter campaign reduxing her dumbass blog, but they'll put her in there precisely because MSNBC will NEVER have to pay that sheboon a white man dollar because we could always redux her dumbass blog posts.
Even better, choosing Reid insults Shep, and the core mandarins at MSNBC, their glut of true believers, would like nothing more.
THAT pillow biter? Groan.
They can change the name to “NutBall”!
LOL.....good point.
I suggest Dana Bash. She’s as exciting as a ball of melted wax, and looks like one too.
Lawrence O’Donnell! He’s a one man Marxist psycho with a microphone. Entertaining as Stalin’s purge trials.
”Creepy liar!”
OMG Joy Reid REALLY??? Her and Mad Cow Rachael should really drive the ratings /s
Put Joy Reid in there...a complete frinkin nitwit.
Yeah, Shep would know what to do with a hard ball.
Put Joy Reid in. Yes. She will be believable. Right.
