I thought it was just me. I loved SB for 25 years and used to turn it on immediately in the morning and keep it on. I consider myself a fiscal conservative, but can’t stand Kernen’s crap anymore. The show has way too many political folks on and moved away from the financial analysis. I love Andrew and Becky but had to quit. As soon. As SB is over in the morning I turn CNBC back on.
I just Love this show. Watch it every day. It has some of the best guests. Love Joe and the politics on the show.
So much better than even Squawk on the Street.
Joe Kernen is a turd, sorry, too nice, Joe Kernen is a loose Turd, stumbling, mumbling, stuttering monkey lurking in DJT's toilet bowl.
Bloomberg for me.
Employing all of my religious background, I think Kernen is an idiot, who does nothing healthy for Squawk. If I’m Andrew, I get my own show, bring Becky, and see what job DJT gives him in the out…W H!
Kernen is very disrespectful to anyone who’s not an avowed ‘Pub. He talks over guests, criticizes them for their taxi tested knowledge And covers up his stupidity by mumbling past time. Following Kernen’s hummer on DJT, it took three months and five tubes of lipstick to restore the (mostly) natural color!
There are many days we have to turn off the show because of Joe. Check the ratings! When Joe is gone, the ratings soar!
PEACE

I have been watching Squawk Box for 15 years. I can no longer watch it. Joe Kernen has become unbearable. I enjoy a diverse discussion on current issues. Joe Kernen has become unbearable. He belittles, talks over, and refuses to let Andrew or a guest make a point he doesn't agree with. I find myself yelling at the TV, "Joe, let him talk!" I turn on the show at 6 am. If Joe Kernen is off, I'll watch the segment. If he is on, I turn the TV off until Squawk on the Street at 9 am.
Mostly moderate Republicans in this house. We’ve watched Squawk for a good while. Sorry to hear the smites on Joe. This is a balanced team of anchors—humane, skeptical, enthusiastic—that assure us, even with unvoiced sideward glances and grimaces, that most views are being represented. We appreciate every aspect. One wish would be a sidebar glossary for some of the sophisticated economic terms, or at least a slower explanation of the nuanced terms. But all in all we feel informed and relatively up to date on the week’s economic news. Thank you.
When we really need information without bias JOE KERNEN causes me to change your channel. Sorry I can no longer watch your channel because of his politics. He doesn’t inform he spews Republican …I need data … I need information not another Republican right wing news max Fox News outlet
I've grown weary of Joe, he's really just a clown. Andrew is great, Becky is fine, but Joe is just embarassing. I've moved on to Bloomberg. I'm interested in economics, not political quakery.
I agree. I find myself looking up actual financial data on my cell phone while Kernan pontificates his political spew. And when I watch to see the comments of a Squalk Box guest, Kernan often wastes most of the interview by interrupting with his own political views. During one interview, a guest actually asked, "Did you bring me on to interview me, or to lecture me, Joe?". I guess some people like to hear themselves talk, so before I become like Joe Kernen, I will end this comment.
Love Squawk Box.! I primarily watch Fox since I’m a conservative and Brett Baier show is fair and balanced.
Squawk Box is my second favorite show because of Joe Kernen.
Hope CNBC keeps him for as long as he wants.
Squawk Box is like a financial rodeo
It’s the hottest show in town
With Becky and Andrew throwing the bull
And Joe as the rodeo clown.
