“If you’re listening to loud classic rock followed by the most casual of political conversations, it must be Morning Joe,” says Kate McKinnon as Brzezinski.
But even for Morning Joe, things got maybe too casual.
As discussion of the health care bill recently passed by House Republicans progressively develops into intimate, unabashed flirting, Brzezinski and Scarborough’s fellow co-anchors are left aghast.

“Mark Halperin, the Senate can’t be pleased that the House just threw this in their lap. I mean, what is their relationship like now?” asks Alex Moffat, as Scarborough, the former Republican Florida congressman turned TV host.
“What is their relationship like?” responds Halperin, played by Beck Bennett.
“Confusing.”
