The latest promo for MSNBC’s "Morning Joe” depicts the castmembers' morning routine, which in some cases involves clubbing, drinking and -- when appropriate -- gambling.

Joe Scarborough is in bed, needing a reminder to wake up. Of course, that can only be accomplished after a swig of whiskey and an early morning cigarette. When Scarborough ultimately gets out on to the streets, he again has to be pried away to do the show -- this time from a game of craps.
