Conservative Hugh Hewitt makes surprise announcement MSNBC has pulled plug on his show

MSNBC has cancelled that weekly television show hosted by right-wing pundit Hugh Hewitt, the conservative explained at the end of his final show on Saturday.

"This has been the last Hugh Hewitt Show on Saturday mornings," Hewitt explained.

He said that NBC News would continue to employ him as a contributor and he said he expects to continue to be a guest on MSNBC shows.

"It's been great fun to host this show, I'll see you on MSNBC again soon" the former anchor said.
