- TriviaIn the scene where Mitch and Hannah walk along the Vegas strip, passers-by can be seen trying to interact with Mitch. Per Gugu Mbatha-Raw, this was 100 percent unscripted. The Strip had not been blocked off prior to shooting, so people eagerly seized the opportunity for a little face time with Steve Carell. Since MITCH happens to be extremely famous (and well-liked, at least at that point) in-universe, Carell just went with it.
- GoofsWhen they bring out Mitch's cake with the roman candles and he is talking, the number of still burning candles changes with each shot, going from two, to four, and back to two.

Featured review
Getting so good.
We see the seeds for replacing Alex being planted. That's not exactly new information. If anything, it actually makes Alex's reaction to Mitch telling her executives are trying to replace her on the first episode of the series harder to believe. She's taken off of the baseball playoffs she's always covered and told she doesn't test well. As if that's not a big enough hint, Chip doesn't blink when Mitch asks him to move Mia off his producing team. They obviously value him more. Alison is too equal to Mitch for him to be able to lure her into his hotel room, for example. But he can get away with implying to her that he wants to hook up with her, comment on her dress, and have a laugh with Alex about picturing Alison naked as she's leaving the room. In 2017, Mia and Mitch's affair was freshly over. But she was probably harder prey for him, so his attacks came from within a relationship we have yet to know the true dynamics of. The Morning Show can't get away with telling a cheap #MeToo story by killing off a character and then retconning his horrible behavior through accusers we only hear about and never see like some other shows. Hannah obviously took the promotion offered by Fred. But there is no way she "owes" Mitch anything because of that. She doesn't have to owe or like Fred either. But the only way for Mitch to get a.
