The long-running morning duo of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski isn’t going anywhere. They’ve signed multi-year contract extensions with MS NOW.
On Wednesday morning, they revealed that they have inked a new deal to remain with MS NOW through 2029, where they’ve been for nearly two decades.
The news of a contract extension for the Morning Joe hosts comes a week after MS NOW unveiled a new programming lineup that included the show shrinking by one hour. A new show, hosted by Stephanie Ruhle, will take the final hour of the show and run from 9 AM-11 AM ET.
“Mika and I are excited to be staying with our Morning Joe family and friends who have been watching regularly for almost 20 years,” Joe Scarborough said to Axios, who first reported the extension.
The MS NOW morning show debuted in 2007, with the trio of Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, and Willie Geist still intact on the show.
“We are about to celebrate 20 years of ‘Morning Joe’ — Joe and Mika have created something that cannot be replicated,” MS NOW President Rebecca Kutler told Axios. “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.”
