The Host's Absence
Mika Brzezinski, host of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," took to Twitter on Wednesday to explain why her husband and co-host, Joe Scarborough, had been absent from the show.Reason for Absence and Return Date
Brzezinski revealed that Scarborough was "under the weather" and resting at home. She did not provide a specific diagnosis or timeline for his return, but assured viewers that he would be back soon.
Scarborough's absence has sparked speculation that he may have left the show, but Brzezinski's comments suggest otherwise. She stated that he is simply unwell and recovering.
No Cast Changes Announced
Despite the rumors, none of the other top hosts of "Morning Joe" have been fired or announced any intentions to leave. The show continues to feature its regular cast, including Willie Geist, Donny Deutsch, and Howard Fineman.
Brzezinski's Wonderings
Brzezinski also took the opportunity to address her own firing from "Morning Joe" in 2017. She expressed her continued bewilderment over the decision, saying, "I still wonder why I got fired from a show I helped create."
Her comments serve as a reminder that even successful and long-standing hosts are not immune to the tumultuous world of television news.
Scarborough's Displeasure
In a related note, Scarborough recently expressed his displeasure with Brzezinski's habit of asking the first question during guest interviews. He believes that the hosts should take turns asking questions to ensure a fair and balanced discussion.
This minor disagreement between the co-hosts highlights the dynamic and sometimes contentious nature of live television.
