As part of a weekend programming reshuffle that resulted in “Kasie DC” being canceled, the anchor of that show has a new gig — anchoring weekdays right before “Morning Joe.”

Kasie Hunt, who anchored her self titled Sunday night show that’s also a play on “Washington, D.C.” since 2017, signed off Sept. 13, 2020.

She’s now taken over the 5 to 6 a.m. timeslot right before “Morning Joe” under the name “Way Too Early,” meaning the show that occupied that slot before, “Morning Joe First Look,” has essentially been canceled.

“First Look” anchor Yasmin Vossoughian, meanwhile, went to weekends.

The show has reverted to the logotype it used during its last iteration in 2016, just with the anchor name swapped out. 

“Way Too Early” also uses a similar red color scheme as “Morning Joe.”
