For about the last year, Early Today has been anchored by NBC News Correspondent Kristine Johnson. On the show from Friday, October 20th, 2006, and at the end of the show, Elise Finch, the NBC Weather Plus Anchor reminded viewers that Johnson was leaving the show, that day, due to her upcoming pregnancy. Johnson said to the viewers, "The 1AM wakeup call is NOT pleasant, and I need to get some sleep for my new baby". At closing theme song, she said (As she usually does), "I'm Kristine Johnson, and this is early today, just your first stop of the day, Today, on your NBC station", and right before the show cut, she was delivered a present from the show crew. Her replacement is not locked in yet, but for now MSNBC anchors Dan Kloeffler, and Milissa Rehberger rotate hosting the show. Typically Kloeffler will anchor Monday & Tuesday with Rehberger handling Wednesday-Friday. Recently NBC 30 anchors have been anchoring in Kloeffler's shifts. Keisha Grant, Brad Drazen, and Andrew Pergam have filled in so far. Kristine Johnson was the anchor of Early Today on NBC and First Look on MSNBC and was also one of the alternating news anchors on Weekend Today. ... Dan Kloeffler is an anchor on MSNBC.
