She began working for MSNBC in 2007 as a fill-in anchor before being selected to co-host Morning Joe with Joe Scarborough.
In 1990, Brzezinski started her media career as an assistant at ABC’s World News This Morning. She relocated to Hartford, Connecticut’s Fox affiliate WTIC-TV/WTIC-DT, which is owned by Tribune, a year later. From then, she moved up to general assignments reporter from assignment and features editor.

Her mother, who is of Czech ancestry, is Edvard Bene’s grandniece from Czechoslovakia. When she was born, her father was a professor at Columbia University.
In late 1976, when newly elected President Jimmy Carter selected Zbigniew National Security Advisor, the family relocated to McLean, Virginia, close to Washington, D.C.
