SCHOOLS ARE NOT READY.
AS WE MENTIONED, MAYOR BILL DE
BLASIO WILL BE A GUEST ON
"MORNING JOE" THIS MORNING.
AND WITH THAT WE WANT TO BRING
IN SOMEONE YOU’LL BE SEEING
EVERY MORNING, THE NEW HOST OF
"WAY TOO EARLY".
KASIE HUNT.
GOOD MORNING.
CONGRATULATIONS.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING THIS
MORNING?
HAVE YOU GOTTEN YOUR ALARM
READY?
DO YOU HAVE A NEW COFFEE MAKER
IN PLACE?
>> I’M VERY EXCITED, YASMIN.
I HAVE HUGE SHOES TO FILL.
I HAVE LOVED SEEING YOU IN THESE
EARLY MORNINGS THE PAST FEW
YEARS.
AND YES, I NEED ALL OF YOUR TIPS
ON ALARM CLOCK MANAGEMENT.
I THINK I’VE GOT THE COFFEE
DOWN.
I’VE GOT A BACKUP COFFEE SYSTEM
IN PLACE.
WE CONSUME A LOT OF CAFFEINE
HERE IN OUR HOUSEHOLD ALREADY.
SO I HAVE TO START EARLYING THAT
UP.
AS YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS
YOU HAVE BUILT IN ALARM CLOCKS
ANYWAY.
>> YOU DO.
>> WE’RE HERE AND SO EXCITED TO
SPEND THE MORNINGS WITH
EVERYBODY.
>> I’M SO EXCITED FOR YOU.
YOU’RE GOING TO BRING YOUR
CAPITOL EXPERTISE TO THE SHOW
AND AS YOU ARE ALREADY SUCH A
HUGE PART OF THE "MORNING JOE"
FAMILY I FEEL THIS IS A PERFECT
FIT FOR YOU.
I’M NOT TRYING TO INTIMIDATE YOU
ABOUT THE EARLY MORNING WAKEUPS,
ALTHOUGH THE OTHER DAY I FEEL
ASLEEP ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR AND
GOT A TEXT FROM THE EP OF THE
SHOW YOU STILL HOST THE SHOW,
PLEASE DIAL IN.
>> OH NO.
>> THAT HAPPENED.
IT DID.
I WANT TO BRING IN SOMEONE ELSE
WHO KNOWS A LITTLE SOMETHING
ABOUT WAKING UP WAY TOO EARLY.
THAT IS OUR OWN WILLIE GEIST.
WILLIE G..
>> HEY, GUYS.
>> HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS
MORNING?
ANY TIPS FROM KASIE?
>> I THINK HE’S ABOUT TO WAKE
AWAY FROM THE JOB AFTER HEARING
YOU FELL ASLEEP ON THE BATHROOM
FLOOR.
FIRST OF ALL, YASMIN WE LOVE YOU
SO MUCH.
WE’VE BEEN SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU
AS A LEAD IN TO OUR SHOW.
WE WATCH YOUR SHOW BEFORE WE
COME ON TO GET A SENSE OF WHAT’S
GOING ON.
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU’VE
DONE.
KASIE, WE TALKED THE OTHER DAY,
THERE’S A REASON WE NAMED IN
2009 THE SHOW "WAY TOO EARLY"
BECAUSE IT IS WAY TOO EARLY BUT
AS YASMIN CAN TELL YOU THERE’S A
SURPRISING NUMBER OF PEOPLE UP
AT THIS HOUR, WHETHER UP WITH
THEIR BABIES, OR UP ON THE
TREADMILL, GETTING READY FOR
WORK, WATCHING THE SHOW.
WHEN WE STARTED THE SHOW I HAD A
2-YEAR-OLD AND A 2 WEEK OLD, YOU
CAN DO IT WITH MARS, YOUR LITTLE
BOY.
TOGETHER YOU GUYS WILL SORT
THROUGH IT AND HOPEFULLY YOU
WON’T FALL ASLEEP ON THE
BATHROOM FLOOR TOO OFTEN.
>> YOU ARE A HERO, CHRISTINA IS
A HERO FOR THE 2 WEEK OLD.
>> CORRECT.
>> I’M EXCITED WE’RE BRINGING
BACK "WAY TOO EARLY".
I LOVE THE SHOW.
MY FAMILY LOVED THE SHOW.
SO WE’RE REALLY EXCITED TO GET
STARTED.
YASMIN, LET ME ECHO, THE
WEEKENDS ARE SO MUCH RICHER TO
HAVE YOU.
MSNBC WEEKENDS IS A GREAT PLACE
TO BE.
I’VE BEEN THERE THREE YEARS.
I’M SURE THE LOYAL VIEWERS WHO
TUNE IN ON THE WEEKEND ARE GOING
TO LOVE HAVING YOU.
>> THE MORNING VIEWERS ARE LOYAL
AND THEY STICK WITH YOU AND LOVE
YOU.
WILLIE GEIST THANKS FOR JOINING
US THIS MORNING.
KASIE THANK YOU AS WELL.
BOTH OF YOU STICK TIGHT.
KASIE WE SEE YOU MONDAY MORNING
FOR THE PREMIER OF "WAY TOO
EARLY".
THAT DOES IT FOR ME, GUYS.
WANT TO THANK THE "MORNING JOE"
TEAM FOR BEING THE BEST TEAM TO
WORK WITH FOR THREE AND A HALF
