"Morning Joe" Crew Cracks Up Over "Pearl Necklace" Mention (VIDEO)

Joe Scarborough, Willie Geist, Chuck Todd, and Harold Ford lost their composure over Mike Barnicle's comment about a "pearl necklace" on "Morning Joe" Wednesday, leaving Mika Brzezinski completely confused.

While discussing a photo of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs sporting an earring in his younger days, Barnicle made reference to a "pearl necklace."

The "Morning Joe" men began giggling, and within moments lost their composure as the panel devolved into laughter.

As the show cut to commercial, Mika remained confused and wanted an explanation. "I'm very uncomfortable," she said.

"He's out of his mind," Scarborough laughed. "I've got nothing else to say."

I can't help but to say that that was funny. I laughed when I saw each guy put his head down and start to rub their foreheads.

Why does Mika always sit so close to Joe?

[stateretiree]

You would think their spouses would be wondering the same thing. Also, why does Mika accompany Joe on his book signing tour, who wrote the book??

[lmab]

It's a republican tradition. All newly elected Republican Senators get pearl necklaces. They can choose to keep them or pass them along to their wives and boyfriends.

[JillBond]

When isn't Mika confused?

[Mij13]

I thought that when I first watched clips from this show. But she's actually trying to be funny, and she's not good at it. Mica also has an undercurrent of rage that's quite unattractive. I bet she was a mean girl in school.

harold ford is a dem former congressman from tenn who ran for the US senate..on the back of his business card he has printed the ten commandmen­ts...he got the joke......­.......

Mika decked out in pearls to go with those X rated heels. Isn't it funny how the "school-marm" on the show is really the hip hottie?

[PKatherine]

i used to but not anymore, everyone in this show has to agree with JOE! omg its sooo annoying. MSNBC needs to get a new host. if you think about it, they will probably have to because Joe wants back in the republican party, the senate maybe? ughhh, hopefully not. Better to have him on tv hosting a show nobody watches than in the senate making decision for us!!!!!

[noaxe397]

No, better to have Scarborough in politics so we can get to the skeletons in his closet.

[learntofly]

Who watches this show?

[AnalyzeIT]

Aaaaaaaaaaaah, the "sweet pearl" and the joy and pleasure it brings to many. Now if it's a "pearl necklace" well then, wuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!

Geeesssssshhhh, Mika!!!

Wrong. Those dolts were laughing about a lame cross dressing joke that had nothing to do with j izz on the neck.

[johnr49]

I agree completely - unless Barnicle was implying that Geist had had a homosexual relationship in college, that's all it was.

[LoyalOpposition]

Good old boy Republican family values humor. Ho hum.

[adsandiego]

a bunch of 40-something talking about how hip they were (well, two of them) when they thought they could get laid by sticking a $5 stud in their ears back in HS . I hope I never do that.

[HatingTheGame]

They're in Starbucks? I thought they said that the whole sponsorship thing by Starbucks was a joke (a la John Stewart)..­. what? They were lying? Oh. Well, then its ok.

[Miketou]

These people are so out of touch with the general public.

[LeCanadien]

That was funny for all the wrong reasons

My favorite was the "you're gonna have to fill me in..."

[USA2Sense]

Well -we all know you can't explain that on television­.....in the same context, Glenn Miller's theme song was "String of Pearls"...­...and the majority of people haven't a clue......­LOL

[yellowdoggie]

I had to explain the song "Lollipop" to my friends just this last weekend. Jeez, people.
