MSNBC star Kasie Hunt suddenly announced she was quitting the network at the end of her Friday morning show, effective immediately.
The news caught fans by surprise, with some reacting with “disbelief” at the sudden announcement.
“I’ve got a little bit of bittersweet news from me this morning,” she announced on her MSNBC show early Friday. “This is going to be my final broadcast with all of you on ‘Way Too Early.'”
“I’ve really enjoyed spending most of the last year with all of you,” she continued.
“I’ll have more on my next adventure coming up in the next few weeks, but for now I want to say thank you to everyone at NBC News, at MSNBC … and particularly I also want to say thank you to the amazing teams that make this show happen every morning.”
“But most of all, thank you to all of you for getting up ‘Way Too Early’ with us,” she concluded.
Hunt reportedly quit after being offered between $1 to $1.5 million by CNN to host a new show at their network, and NBC News wouldn’t counter.

Some personal news, as they say — thank you to all of the viewers, reporters, lawmakers and everyone else who’s gotten up extra early to help make @WayTooEarly better. I loved doing this show. More soon! #WayTooEarly pic.twitter.com/k3ULeqRZJI
