Where is Mika? She is hardly ever on Morning Joe any more. Maybe she got tired of Joe always talking over her.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. Joe interrupts everyone, and rarely lets Mika complete a full sentence. They were supposed to be married this past spring but apparently that never happened. I’ve started wondering whether this office romance has gone the same route as so many others. My daughter went with a guy from work for two years. After she broke up with him, seeing him at work was extremely awkward. Unlike Mika, my daughter still has to show up at the office. Mika has been on just a few times this summer, but not when Joe was on.

She’s on all the time. Everyone needs a day off from time to time. I think she holds her own quite well; no worries about anyone rolling over her.

She does seem to have a lot of vacation time. Hopefully after Labor Day the hosts on all shows will be back.

In addition to Morning Joe I also like Good Morning America. Robin Roberts seems to hardly ever be there. Same with Michael Strahan.

I like it best when Joe and Mika are actually in the New York studio with the others and not broadcasting from somewhere else.

It's summer and she's taking some time off.....as people during during the summers.

She's got two daughters that are college age, I believe. She probably took her vacation to get them settled in schools. I don't miss her. She's so grumpy and negative all the time.. it must be exhausting to be like that.

I no longer watch that program for many years now but she may just be getting one or both of her daughters back off to college. Something simple as just being a Mom for awhile. I do keep waiting for the wedding date unless I missed it.

@house_cat did not see your post until after I did mine. School is a busy time no matter how old the children become.

I thought they were suppose to get married in the spring. Maybe they did and kept it private. Mandy Patinkin was on with them in May and congratulated them on their upcoming nuptials in a few weeks..and they said to him Shhh or something to that effect.

@Vivian, I don't watch Morning Joe, I do watch Hard Ball With Chris Matthews. He'll ask a question and then interrupts and doesn't let his guest answer the question!

Jordan2, I have often wondered what would happen if Joe Scarborough and Chris Matthews tried to hold a conversation. Each one would likely talk above the other. I wish producers of each program would read these guys the riot act. And if they think they are feminists, both Joe and Chris need some education.

@Vivian, Chris Matthews is also a loud talker! If these two got together neither one would get a word in edge wise!

I don't watch any of the cable shows anymore.

I come here for all of my news.

My complaints about Joe Scarborough are the same as my complaints about Chris Matthews. They are both enamored with the sound of their own voices. They ask questions of their guests and then butt in while the guest tries to answer. Ugh! As for Mika and Joe....he's been married several times. Bad risk. I'd stick with the romance while it lasts and not take a chance on another failing marriage.

I don't watch cable programs unless they are reruns. And these people you mention the one time I did accidentally tune in I hurried to get away from their endless chatter.

@house_cat- one of her daughters graduated in May from Johns Hopkins.

Yes, watching Joe and Chris Matthews can make you nuts.....their questions are longer than the guests are allowed to answer. Makes me crazy, especially when you want to hear the answer. It would be quiete a challenge for the 2 of them to be on the same show!!! Mika can hold her own with Joe. I like that she is more concise then he and gets to the point more quickly!!!

The only morning news show I enjoy watching. Only watch local news when I'm curious about snow and tornado weather reports. Everyone holds their own on Morning Joe and I enjoy their varied guests. Especially like Willie Geist -- voice of reason, IMO. Hope Joe & Mika run off and get married, don't announce it until it's done. No one needs editorial comments from people who don't care about them.
