As a successful media personality, Willie Geist is the definition of an old bloc chip. The anchor of the show is actually the offspring of Emmy-winning journalist, columnist, and author Bill Geist. You wouldn’t be far from the truth if you assume that his successful career in journalism stemmed from a profitable father-son support system, as his father gave him all the support and encouragement he needed to succeed.

Willie Geist co-anchors MSNBC’s Morning Joe and is the only Sunday Today anchor with Willie Geist. Occasionally, he shows up as a fill-in anchor on today’s Saturday edition as well as the weekday edition. Willie also works with NBC News and NBC Sports as a match. He categorically hosts and contributes to NBC’s Olympic coverage.

As an acclaimed writer, he co-authored two comic books which both made the New York Times bestseller list. His two humor books include; his 2014 Good Talk, Dad which he wrote in conjunction with his father and American Freak Show: The Fully Fabricated Stories of Our New National Treasures, which was published in 2010. His third book which was released on May 10, 2011 was Self-help satire Loaded! Become a Millionaire Overnight and Lose 20 Pounds in 2 Weeks or Your Money Back!

Family: wife, sister, dad

Willie was born into the famous Geist family, his father Bill is a renowned journalist, columnist and author, twice Emmy winner and is currently with CBS as a correspondent. Bill was very supportive of his son’s career in journalism and helped navigate his way into the world of broadcasting. Willie’s first book was co-written by his father. His mother, Jody Geist, earns her living as a social worker. Willie is the great-grandson of Herbie Lewis, a famous hockey player who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Another notable member of the Geist family is Willie’s younger sister, Libby Geist Wildes, who worked as an executive producer for the ESPN documentary. In 2008, Libby won a George Foster Peabody Award for Black Magic, a popular documentary video about basketball programs at historically black universities and colleges of education. Libby’s second Peabody Award came in 2010 with 30 for 30 – another documentary, focusing on ESPN’s anniversary and funding.

Going into his romantic relationship, WillieGeist is a married man. On May 24, 2003, Willie officially linked his college sweetheart Christina Sharkey to Humacao, Puerto Rico. Since they met in college they have been inseparable, they have passed all stages of their formative years with a record 16 years of courtship before the start of their known life.

The couple spent 15 years of blissful marriage without a clue of separation or divorce. They made their home in New York with their two children; a daughter, Lucie Joy Geist, joined the family on June 14, 2007, and her son George Geist, was born in 2009.

the size

The handsome NBC anchor is funny, witty and charming. When he is all dressed up in his formal attire with his normal side part hairstyle, he exudes an attractive on-air presence. Willie Geist stands at a height of 6 feet 3 inches or 1.93m but his weight is not listed. His appearance is marked by his tall stature, light brown hair color, bright smile, and lean physique. No wonder her female fans far outnumber their male counterparts.

Where is Willie Geist now?

Willie himself announced his imminent release from today’s third hour anchorage on Monday morning. According to the TV personality, he has been multitasking a lot lately, from Morning Joe which is a daily program to the third hour of Today Monday Morning and also the Sunday show. He further stated that he had to leave one of the shows which happens to be today’s third hour on Monday morning with Tamron Hall and Al Roker. Willie will be replaced by Billy Bush, but he will still host Morning Joe and Sunday Today.

At least his ardent fans won’t miss his television presence entirely as he is still very active in his presenting career.
