Velshi is a weekend morning news program hosted by Ali Velshi that aired from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays on MS NOW. The program debuted on February 15, 2020, displacing Up with David Gura.
Prior to the program's debut, Velshi co-hosted a weekday afternoon program titled Velshi & Ruhle, alongside Stephanie Ruhle, which began on May 20, 2017. In 2019, the Velshi & Ruhle segment "Trump: 'Looking Very Seriously' at Changing Transgender Definition" was nominated in the "Outstanding TV Journalism Segment" category at the 30th GLAAD Media Awards. Following an MSNBC shakeup in December 2019, Velshi & Ruhle was cancelled.
Velshi's 2020 debut coincided with MSNBC's hiring of Alicia Menendez as a weekend anchor.
In March 2026, it was announced that Velshi will move to The 11th Hour, and that Jacob Soboroff will host a new program in his former time slot, Connect with Jacob Soboroff. Velshi officially ended on June 7, 2026, with executive producer Rebekah Dryden also moving with Velshi.
