On April 1, 2009, [[MSNBC]] announced the launch of ''[[The Ed Show]]'', anchored by Schultz.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Shea |first=Danny |date=April 1, 2009 |title=Ed Schultz To Be MSNBC 6 PM Host |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/01/ed-schultz-to-be-msnbc-6_n_182074.html |access-date=May 26, 2011 |publisher=Huffingtonpost.com}}</ref> The program replaced the 6 p.m. show ''[[1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (TV series)|1600 Pennsylvania Avenue]]'' with [[David Shuster]], who moved to the 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. slot. ''The Ed Show'' debuted at 6 p.m. on Monday, April 6, 2009. At the close of 2010, Schultz made ''[[The Nation]]''{{'}}s Progressive Honor Roll as the Most Valuable TV Voice and was deemed the "most populist of MSNBC's hosts".<ref>{{Cite news |last=Nichols |first=John |date=December 22, 2010 |title=The Progressive Honor Roll of 2010: Most Valuable TV Voice: Ed Schultz |url=http://www.thenation.com/article/157281/progressive-honor-roll-2010?page=0,1 |work=[[The Nation]]}}</ref>

After [[Keith Olbermann]] left MSNBC, ''The Ed Show'' moved to the 10 p.m. [[Eastern Time Zone|ET]] time slot on January 24, 2011, while [[The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell]] moved to Olbermann's old time slot.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Deggans |first=Eric |date=January 21, 2011 |title=Is Keith Olbermann's MSNBC departure evidence of the danger in some stars' success? |url=http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/media/content/keith-olbermanns-msnbc-departure-evidence-danger-some-stars-success |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110125180151/http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/media/content/keith-olbermanns-msnbc-departure-evidence-danger-some-stars-success |archive-date=January 25, 2011 |access-date=August 18, 2011 |work=[[Tampa Bay Times|St. Petersburg Times]]}}</ref>

On August 15, 2011, Schultz used an edited video clip of Texas Governor [[Rick Perry]] at a rally talking about the national debt crisis. Governor Perry said "getting America back to work is the most important issue that faces this country, being able to pay off $14.5 trillion or $16 trillion worth of debt. That big black cloud that hangs over America, that debt that is so monstrous." The audio of the clip was cut off after "America", so Schultz's audience did not hear "that debt that is so monstrous". Governor Perry refers to the debt before and after the "big black cloud" statement. Schultz said, "That black cloud Perry is talking about is President [[Barack Obama]]." The following day on his TV show Schultz apologized for taking Governor Perry out of context. "We did not present the full context of those statements and we should have&nbsp;... No doubt about it, it was a mistake and we regret the error&nbsp;... we should not have included it in our coverage."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Everett |first=Burgess |date=August 16, 2011 |title=Schultz regrets Perry remark about 'big black cloud' |url=http://www.politico.com/blogs/onmedia/0811/Right_calls_foul_on_Schultzs_Perry_remark.html |access-date=April 14, 2012 |publisher=Politico}}</ref>

On October 19, 2011, NBC announced that effective October 24, 2011, ''The Ed Show'' would be moving to the 8 p.m. Eastern slot, with ''[[The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell]]'' returning to the 10 p.m. slot.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Gaines |first=Jeremy |date=October 19, 2011 |title=MSNBC Primetime Schedule Change |url=http://www.nbcuniversal.presscentre.com/content/detail.aspx?ReleaseID=7187&NewsAreaId=2 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111021032825/http://www.nbcuniversal.presscentre.com/content/detail.aspx?ReleaseID=7187&NewsAreaId=2 |archive-date=October 21, 2011 |publisher=[[NBCUniversal]]}}</ref> On March 9, 2012, ''Politico'' reported that Schultz had received nearly $200,000 in speaking fees and advertisement charges from labor unions without publicly disclosing this income, a potential conflict of interest for his television show, which is billed as a news program.<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 9, 2012 |title=Ed Schultz addresses union payments |url=http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/03/msnbcs-ed-schultz-addresses-union-payments-117006.html |access-date=April 14, 2012 |publisher=Politico}}</ref>

In April 2011, NBC News producer and sound engineer Michael Queen sued Schultz, claiming Schultz should have compensated him for helping him get a TV show on MSNBC.<ref>{{Cite web |title=MSNBC's Ed Schultz sued over TV deal&nbsp;— On Media |url=http://www.politico.com/blogs/onmedia/0511/MSNBCs_Ed_Schultz_sued_over_TV_deal.html |website=POLITICO}}</ref> Schultz argued there was no such agreement with Queen, and countersued Queen.
