Morning Joe Hosts React to Surprise Show Cut

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” hosts, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, and their production team were reportedly stunned when their show did not air on Monday, following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. According to Fox News, the show’s production team was told that all shows would run on a single NBC News feed, but instead, MSNBC programming started running on the network hours earlier.

The show’s usual 6 a.m. time slot was instead filled with breaking news coverage of the assassination attempt.

Internal Discussions

An MSNBC insider reportedly said that the show’s production team was having “pretty heated conversations internally” about when the decision was made to switch from a single feed to two feeds. The insider added that “a lot of people are pissed off” and that Scarborough and Brzezinski would have demanded they go on air if they knew the one feed across platforms wasn’t the case.

Return to Air

The show is expected to return on Tuesday morning with updates from the Republican National Convention floor at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum.
