Morning Joe, did you really just pretape your post-Thanksgiving banter?

[alp227]

The hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” did the usual day-after Thanksgiving kibitzing on the air on Friday morning, telling viewers about their turkey dinners and mentioning the big football game the night before.

One problem: None of those things had actually happened at the time Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Co. started talking about them. The program that aired Friday morning was taped Wednesday, but made to look and sound as if it was airing live.

“Morning Joe” airs live on MSNBC five days a week. It features discussions of breaking or very recent news events.

Friday’s program had all the earmarks of a typical “Morning Joe” and few viewers seemed to notice that it wasn’t happening in real time. MSNBC offered no announcement or statement to viewers that it was a taped program. The only indirect clue was at the bottom of the screen: The “Live” graphic that normally appears was removed.

1. I am shocked. Do things like this happen in TV often?

2. Mika was quite smug and smarmy with "the day after" comments.

Very often, in their regular daily 3 hour broadcast, they will repeat at least a portion if not the entire hour previously broadcast that morning.

Again, without any notice from the network or show.

Another reason why "AM Joe" has no credibility on anything.

Why I wait for Stephanie Ruhle's always live "After Joe" show!

3. Did you notice

that Joe wore three different ties Friday morning? I think they had been pretaping that show over several days.

4. At least Rachel did say,

"This is a special Thanksgiving edition and I am sure you are full of turkey like I am..." and then they re-ran past shows like her interviews with Hillary and Eric Holder.

5. With all going on in the world

why is the fact that a tv show was pretaped be important? Sounds like a high class problem to me
PS You all do know that part of the third hour of MJ is a rerun of the first, don't you?

6. Rachel and Lawerence also had pre-taped shows..other hosts did as well

there was no reference to current events
So I don't know why MJ was singled out..

7. Oh, did our pearls need clutching? I hadnt realized.

8. Why is this such a burning issue? nt

9. I attended a taping of Live with Kelly/Michael

They recorded two shows in one day. They recorded the live show. Then they recorded another one that would air on a different date. They pretended that it was recorded at a different time. I think many shows do that..

10. That's not a news show

Rather an entertainment show, so different rules

11. Very standard in the industry..
