Willie Geist Gets His Own MSNBC Show

"Best possible lead in" for Morning Joke? Bill O'Reilly....

First on TVNewser: MSNBC's Willie Geist is getting his own daily program on the network. The half-hour show will lead in to Morning Joe, on which Geist will continue to contribute.

Insiders tell us Geist's show, as yet unnamed, will launch June 29, the same day several other new programs are added and the day the network goes HD.

The new show will be an extension of what Geist has been doing for MSNBC for the last four years - a satirical look at the news of the day and, in many cases, the news stories you may not have heard about.

Morning Joe as American Idol?

I heard them reference this today, but didn't really understand it until now. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's "the most compelling television" but I can see the comparison. Wonder how Pat Buchanan feels about being compared to a black man?

This MSNBC early-morning political klatch is oddly addictive, even though its hosts at times come off like a cable news version of 'American Idol.' Joe Scarborough is Simon Cowell, the Randy Jackson role is divided between Pat Buchanan and Mike Barnicle, and Mika Brzezinski is Paula Abdul, always seeking to say something nice about politicians the others mock. Willie Geist is their Ryan Seacrest, only much funnier.
