rdf:langString Way Too Early with Jonathan Lemire is an American morning news show that airs weekday mornings on MSNBC. The network has had shows with the title Way Too Early, both with and without the name of the host at the time, during two different time periods. The first incarnation of Way Too Early premiered on July 27, 2009, hosted by Willie Geist. It was later hosted by a variety of NBC News on-air talent, including Thomas Roberts and others on a temporary basis, including Ayman Mohyeldin. The final host was Chief White House Correspondent Chris Jansing. It ended on August 12, 2016, as its lead-in program First Look was expanded back into the full hour and rebranded as Morning Joe First Look to build continuity with the later program. Another apparent reason for the name change was that the 5 a.m. timeslot had become nearly universally programmed as a morning news slot on local television stations in both the Eastern and Central Time Zones, making the title Way Too Early an artifact. On September 10, 2020, it was announced that Way Too Early would return to the air with Kasie Hunt as the new host, starting on September 21. On July 16, 2021, Kasie Hunt announced she was delivering her final broadcast and would be joining CNN. On October 25, 2021, MSNBC announced that Jonathan Lemire would be the new host of the show.
