Ronan Farrow, the illustrious spawn of Mia Farrow and (probably) Woody Allen, has landed his own daytime show on MSNBC, set to premiere Feb. 24 at 1 p.m. Why should you care? Well, here’s why we’re excited.
Ronan is a master tweeter
After his mother told Vanity Fair that Frank Sinatra could “possibly” be his father, Ronan released the best statement possible.
Listen, we’re all *possibly* Frank Sinatra’s son.

When the Golden Globes aired a tribute to Woody Allen, Ronan took it as an opportunity to attack.
Missed the Woody Allen tribute – did they put the part where a woman publicly confirmed he molested her at age 7 before or after Annie Hall?

But he does the light-hearted stuff, too. His entire Grammy live-tweeting this weekend is worth scrolling through, but his commentary on Macklemore’s “Same Love” performance was particularly emblematic of his bite.
For a pro gay song, this sure does feature a lot of Macklemore clarifying that he’s straight.

He’s not just another dumb celebrity kid — he actually works
In 2009, he graduated from Yale Law School and got a job at the State Department working for Hillary Clinton as a special adviser on global youth issues. He’s also a Rhodes scholar and is writing a book called “Pandora’s Box: How American Military Aid Creates America’s Enemies,” which sounds pretty smart.
He’s sure to bring some star power
He already has a slew of famous friends. He once had a joint birthday party with Shannon Woodward with an “ugly sweater” theme. Katy Perry and Selena Gomez were in attendance.
He just bought a swanky Upper West Side apartment we’d like to hang out at
And it only cost him $1.5 million!
He’s not Alec Baldwin
Nothing could be worse than the last high profile MSNBC host. Let’s just hope Ronan can stay on the air a little longer.
