MS NOW Anchors Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski Share Major ‘Morning Joe’ News After Losing an Hour
Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski will be on TV screens a while longer.
According to a report from Axios on Wednesday, March 25, the husband-and-wife duo re-signed their contracts for Morning Joe, their talk show on MS NOW, through 2029.
“Four more years! — as they say at conventions,” Scarborough, 62, told the outlet. “Mika and I are excited to be staying with our Morning Joe family and friends who have been watching regularly for almost 20 years.”
“We’re also grateful for the vote of confidence [MS NOW President Rebecca Kutler and Versant CEO Mark Lazarus] have given us to stay with our Morning Joe team over the next four years,” he added.
Kutler also shared a statement about the contract renewal with Axios.
“We are about to celebrate 20 years of Morning Joe — Joe and Mika have created something that cannot be replicated,” Kutler remarked. “As we build towards the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential election, Morning Joe will continue to be a singular destination for presidents and newsmakers from all political parties.”
As Globe reported last week, MS NOW took an hour off Morning Joe — which is also hosted by Willie Geist and Jonathan Lemire — meaning it will be on from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. starting in June.
According to the Associated Press, MS NOW said the show decided to shave an hour off, but in Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice Substack, an insider claimed, “This was not their idea,” insisting, “They didn’t ask for this — they were told.”
