BiographyAri Naftali Melber (born March 31, 1980) is an American attorney and Emmy-winning journalist who is the Chief Legal Correspondent for MSNBC and host of The Beat with Ari Melber.
"The Beat with Ari Melber" is "often the most-watched show on MSNBC," the A.P. reported in 2023, noting "the Emmy-winning NBC News legal analyst... brings a methodical, 'follow the facts' style to the issues he addresses."
"The Beat" had the highest ratings of any show on MSNBC or CNN, "outranking everything else on MSNBC — the first time in the network’s 27 years that a show outside the prime-time window took top honors," the New York Times reported in 2023.
Forbes reported The Beat was the highest rated show across all of MSNBC and CNN in January 2024, and the show is widely viewed online, including its YouTube playlist (msnbc.com/ari).
The Beat was "the highest-rated non-Fox News show in the demo" on cable news, AdWeek reported in November 2023. Forbes notes it has "MSNBC's best rating ever for the time slot."
"The Beat" is one of "the most-watched news programs on cable," Variety noted in 2023, along with Fox's "The Five." AdWeek reported The Beat's ratings made it one of "most watched cable news" shows in 2022.
"The Beat's" ratings were up 46%" in 2021, performing better against Fox News "than any other show before it." In January 2021, The Beat hit No. 1 among cable news shows at 6 p.m., averaging 2.6 million viewers per night.
The Beat was nominated for a 2020 Emmy Award for Outstanding Live Interview.
Mediaite named Melber in its 2024 list of the "most influential people in media," noting his show "dominated rival CNN during the 6 p.m. ET hour, notching nearly 2 million viewers and even beat the rest of MSNBC on occasion," his "understated and less partisan demeanor, and "willingness to welcome opposing viewpoints.. for fascinating if heated interviews."
