''Up'' is a news and opinion television program that airs weekends on MSNBC at 8:00 a.m. ET. It will end later in 2015 when Alex Wagner debuts a new weekend morning program. The show debuted September 17, 2011 as ''Up with Chris Hayes'', and was hosted by Hayes until March 2013 when he left for ''All In with Chris Hayes'', a new MSNBC weekday primetime program. Kornacki's first episode aired April 13, 2013. He left in October 2015 for MSNBC dayside. ==Background== Prior to his position at MSNBC, Hayes was Washington D.C. Editor of ''The Nation''. On August 1, 2011, MSNBC accounced that Hayes would host a two-hour morning show on Saturdays and Sundays on the network. The first airing of "Up with Chris Hayes" was September 17, 2011 and featured a live interview with former Speaker and current House minority leader Nancy Pelosi. The premiere of the Sunday program featured an appearance by MSNBC host Rachel Maddow. In addition to hosting "Up," Hayes would also continue to serve as a contributor to other MSNBC programs as well as continuing his work at ''The Nation'' as Editor-at-Large based in NYC. ''Up'' was, at the time of its premiere, the most recent of MSNBC's attempts to place political opinion or talk shows on weekends; two other series, ''Jesse Ventura's America'' (aired in 2003) and ''Weekends with Maury and Connie'' (aired in 2006), experienced short, months-long runs on weekend slots. According to Cenk Uygur, a former host on MSNBC, he was offered a weekend slot in return for letting go of his early-2011 slot on weekday evening airings of ''MSNBC Live'', but turned it down and left the channel due to managerial disputes (commentator Al Sharpton was eventually appointed to Uygur's former slot, renamed ''PoliticsNation with Al Sharpton'' in August 2011; Uygur, instead, became a contributor and later host of ''The Young Turks'' on Current TV). It was announced that January 5, 2012 that fellow ''The Nation'' and ''MSNBC'' contributor Melissa Harris-Perry will host her own weekend show, beginning February 4, 2012 at 10:00 am, following ''Up'' and leading to ''Weekends with Alex Witt''. Hayes gave up weekends and hosts the 8 PM ET hour on MSNBC weekdays, his first nightly show was April 1.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://tv.msnbc.com/2013/03/14/chris-hayes-to-host-msnbc-primetime-show/ )〕 On March 19, Steve Kornacki was named as the new host.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://tv.msnbc.com/2013/03/19/steve-kornacki-to-host-msnbcs-up/ )〕 His first episode aired April 13, 2013.〔 Kornacki indicated that the show would maintain continuity, saying "a lot of progressive ideas were expressed through ''Up (Chris Hayes )'', but I think the common thread through all the ideas, whether they’re progressive or whether they’re coming from the right, is that... they’re ideas that are worthy of discussion and worthy of exploration."〔Erik Hayden, (Steve Kornacki, New Host of MSNBC's 'Up', on Replacing Chris Hayes, Moving to Weekends ) ''The Hollywood Reporter'' March 20, 2013〕 In April 2013, Anne Thompson left her role as the Democratic National Committee's director of video production to become a segment producer for the program. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Up (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
