Axios reported on Wednesday, March 25, that Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski re-signed to continue hosting Morning Joe on MS NOW through 2029, marking a long-term commitment to the program’s continuity. The contract renewal keeps Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough, and Mika Brzezinski in place as the show approaches its 20th anniversary and key 2026 and 2028 political cycles. Scarborough welcomed the decision, and MS NOW President Rebecca Kutler praised the show’s role as a destination for newsmakers. The program, also hosted by Willie Geist and Jonathan Lemire, will shift to a 6 a.m.–9 a.m. block starting in June. According to the Associated Press, the show opted to reduce an hour; a Substack post cited an unnamed insider disputing that characterization.
