Ugyur Out at MSNBC

He will be replaced by Al Sharpton

After hosting MSNBC’s six o’clock hour for nearly six months, Cenk Uygur is officially leaving the network. He'll be replaced by an unlikely figure: Al Sharpton. The spot first opened back in January when Keith Olbermann abruptly ended his reign at MSNBC. Ugyur, who was a paid contributor at MSNBC and had his own Web series, “Young Turks,” was picked to fill the spot.

Ugyur’s relationship with his superiors doesn't appear to have been a good one.
