“There are times you have to stop, and you need to appreciate the legends. I know people see Mike here every day, but you talk to anybody in Boston, and I remember Denis Leary one time – the first time he came on the set – he almost started tearing up. He said, ‘I can’t believe I’m going to tell my ma, I finally got to meet the great Mike Barnicle.’ And so many other people feel that way, and I’m not being glib here at all. Mike is a legend, he’s a living legend. We’re so honored to have him on our show every day…But let’s just stop today and wish Mike a happy 49th birthday,” says Joe Scarborough as the Morning Joe panel celebrates Mike Barnicle’s “49th” birthday.
