Yasmin Vossoughian (born October 3, 1978) is an American television journalist currently serving as a national reporter for NBC News.
Vossoughian was raised in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, the daughter of Dr. Ahad and Shamsi Vossoughian, immigrants from Iran. [3] [4] She is a graduate of Northfield Mount Hermon, a private college-preparatory school in Gill, Massachusetts [4] after which she earned a B.A. from Occidental College in Los Angeles. [5] Her family is Muslim. [4]
She began her career at CNN's sister channel HLN (formerly CNN Headline News), working as a correspondent. [6] She then worked as an anchor of Morning Joe First Look , the now-cancelled pre-show for MSNBC’s flagship weekday morning show, Morning Joe [7] after which she served as the host of MSNBC’s weekend rolling news program Yasmin Vossoughian Reports, airing from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET on weekends, until it was canceled in November 2023. [8]
Vossoughian's presence on MSNBC gradually decreased, along with the cable network's reliance on other NBC News talent, in the lead-up to its spinoff from NBCUniversal into Versant, a new publicly-traded company. Vossoughian remains with NBC News.
Prior to the spinoff, Vossoughian regularly filled in on weekday editions of MSNBC Reports for José Díaz-Balart, Andrea Mitchell, and Chris Jansing.
She is married and has two sons. [9]
