“Better Than Anybody In Television:” Oprah Reveals She’s A Huge Fan Of MSNBC’s Morning Joe

video
» 26 comments

All things considered, an endorsement from Oprah Winfrey can’t be a bad thing. And on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, which was live in Oprah’s hometown of Chicago Friday, that’s exactly what they got: a rave review and Oprah-sized endorsement. “I love the show. I think you all do this better than anybody in television.”

Oprah, who’s hardly a regular on live shows like Morning Joe, was right at home in MJ‘s easygoing conversational vibe, something she said she likes about the show:

I think the flow, the ebb and flow, the rhythm of the show, I think the authenticity, I think the fact that you have real conversations, the conversations aren’t this short. I think that you guys got the morning thing down. I think you got the TV thing down. You do it as well as anybody.

Watch Oprah’s endorsement of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for outstanding achievement in morning show programming here, from MSNBC:

    I guess this is what Rachel S. meant by saying Morning Joe was a “taste maker”. Not many people watch but they “matter”.

  • justanotherconservative

    well my goodness. if oprah says it, it must be true.

    Does Stedman Graham Cracker know about this?

    I’m not sure I think that is true about Joe. Perhaps, in Republican circles. I do think that is true about Chris Matthews, however. I find him intolerable at times, but he seems to have his hand on the pulse of many.

    I have to confess, I’m shocked she didn’t say this about Glen(n) O’Beckerhead, particularly since he has been in costume of late.

  • writer

    Glenn is now going by his rapper name of Vanilla Van Jones.

    Are you still hearing Jerry Falwell’s voice in your head?

  • JazzyJim

    Oddly enough, Oprah’s right. Joe can be reasonable during this show though – and then he gets on that Hate AM Talk Radio rant and becomes another person. I know that’s what the GOP wants from him, but it is Jeykle and Hyde.

    I think the one person I hate worse that Obama and his ugly wife is this fat hippo. She wants people to respect Obama? Respect is earned !!! Respect isnt going against the people on most big items. Oprah you suck… I never laughed harder as when you and the first socialist famlily went to get the Olympics in Chicago…and came in dead last… Go away and live wife with your lesbian lover Gail and get off my tv

  • rover37

    Oprah and Morning Joe have a lto in common…. the OWN netwrk is sucking and morning joe is getting beat by FOX 3-1 and has the lowest demo in all of cable news. And what is even wosr is Mornign joe is getting beat by FOX AND FRIENDS…. hands down the worst Fox show they have…

  • Russell Smith

    Donald Trump was on MJ today via phone discussing his appearance at GPAC. Holy crap he nailed Mika on her eye-rolling BS. This twit is the most condescending B**CH on TV. If it were not for her last name (she has to use it or no one would know who the hell she is), she would be on some rank cable public access channel in east bumf**k, NJ.

    And as for Joe, he needs to stop calling himself a Republican. Those leftist at MSCCCP have their hands shoved so far up his ass, they make his mouth move like ventriloquist’s dummy.

    I just thought of a good analogy.

    Fox News is the Howard Beale of cable news, while MSNBC is the Oprah Winfrey of cable news. (Neither is a compliment.)

    the only thing that that fat black bitch could say that would give me a thrill up my leg….I HAVE INCURABLE CANCER AND I’M GOING TO DIE TODAY

    Tamron Hall, I loved watching her on Msnbc; then she went to “Today” ,Damn I loved watching her, and I’m very conservative/ libertarian, but she was the best. O.k, maybe I watch because she was HOT, sue me!

    Sorry to hear about your blindness.

    I almost let the typically “classy” right wing comments dissuade me from joining in today, pathetic but all some are capable of, I guess.

    Morning Joe is the best available in the A.M., even when Joe reverts to form and goes on one of his information-free jihads against Social Security, unions, etc.

    All of them are much better people than the lowbrow commentators here poisoning our discourse by displaying their Fox Noise “intellect”.

    Morning Joe is one of the few shows worth watching on cable news.

  • Tribunal

    Morning Joe is the only show on msnbc that isn’t sh*t. I almost envy that it isn’t on Fox News, I prefer it to Fox and Friends to be honest.

    That rover37 guy is a racist. He has said far far worse things than that. (Refer to thread about Michelle Obama’s interview with Matt Lauer just a few days ago)

    Yes…she’s a cutie, and she’s 40 too!

  • WildMan

    Well goody, goody gum drops. Hell must have frozenover its rosy red ass! I Does this mean that Joe & Mika’s terrible numbers will start to pick up??? I don’t think so…! After all it is on PMSnbc and nobody watches anything on that lowly rated cable network.
