It was no go for “Morning Joe.”

MSNBC faced a technical nightmare early Tuesday leaving viewers more baffled than usual while waiting nearly 15 minutes for its flagship breakfast show, “Morning Joe.”

Those tuning in at 6 a.m. were greeted with a shot of the Capitol building along with an extended play of The Who’s “Teenage Wasteland.”

Viewers were then met with a series of internal promotions and commercials played on a confusing loop until around 6:07 a.m.

Then, instead of the latest news, the station started playing a rerun of  “Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” without any messages explaining that it was a rerun.

Finally, Mika Brzezinski started “Morning Joe” at 6:12 a.m. — without any real explanation for the lengthy delay.

“All right, thanks for bearing with us, everybody … getting started a little bit late this morning,”  Brzezinski said.

The mystery glitch actually started earlier, with “Way Too Early” host Jonathan Lemire noting on X just after 5:30 a.m. that the station was experiencing “technical difficulties.”

“Stay with us @MSNBC, we hope to be broadcasting live again soon,” Lemire wrote just before 6 a.m.. and the delayed start of “Morning Joe.”

“Thank you for your patience,” he wrote.

MSNBC declined to comment when reached by The Post early Tuesday.
