Later, Yasmin Vossoughian worked as a co-producer on MSNBC' s Up With David Gura and substituted several times as the host. She also worked on Morning Joe.[20]
In September 2020, Yasmin left Morning Joe and passed the torch over to Kasie Hunt. "We want to bring in someone who you're going to be seeing every single day, Monday through Friday, during this 5 a.m. hour on the East Coast — the new host of Way Too Early — there she is! Kasie Hunt! Hi Kase, congrats!" Yasmin exclaimed during the segment. "Welcome to the early morning my friend! Have you gotten your alarm ready? Do you have a new coffee maker in place?" Yasmin joked. She became the MSNBC Live on the weekends.[39]
Personal Life

In June 2016, Yasmin married Whittaker Lindsay Clifford. [1] They had their first child on August 9, 2018.[32] As of July 2020, the couple has 2 sons, Azur and Noor Clifford.[34] She spent four months at home with Noor after he was born. Before that, she spent six months at home with her first son, Azur, as she was in the middle of changing jobs.[37]
Vossoughian has a birthmark on her leg. In an article for NBC News' Know Your Value, she wrote about her constant struggles with herself and attempts to find an inner balance:
For the last 40 years, I’ve been learning to accept myself, appreciate what I have and honor what makes me different.
But some days are harder than others, especially now that summer is almost here and we start to shed clothing.[34]
Worrying thoughts have encapsulated my life in some way for as long as I can remember — from teenage angst in dating, to starting college and meeting new people, to entering the work force and choosing a career that thrust me into the spotlight, to finding my husband and meeting everybody in his life.[34]
In an interview with NBC News' Know Your Value, Vossoughian shareds her experience of working from home during Coronavirus (COVID-19) and what she learned about staying connected and reinvention during difficult times:
I do not like working from home.
While I consider myself an introvert who enjoys small groups and conversations, I thrive when I’m going to work every day.
I love talking to my colleagues, casually stopping by my bosses’ office, throwing ideas around with producers and just the all-around camaraderie.[38]
The last three months have been a completely different reality for me.
I’ve been anchoring from my bedroom in Brooklyn.
We live in an apartment with my two kids and three labs- it is cramped to say the least.
There is always the threat of a child barging in or a dog barking indiscriminately (which has happened.)[38]
The answer in my humble opinion is to stay connected and reinvent yourself, then reinvent yourself again.
[...] On top of that, I stay in touch.
I could easily shut the camera off everyday and talk to nobody.
Instead, I stay in touch with my producers throughout the day.
I check in and share information.
I call my bosses to get a sense of the future, see how they’re doing and try to stay in the orbit of the work and office life without actually being there.[38]
Also, I do things like this, writing about my life in quarantine and the difficulties I face, to help others who are going through a similar experience.
It helps psychologically now and hopefully for my future.
While it's impossible to predict what will happen post COVID-19, we can take control of what we can and try to thrive where we are now.[38]
