Kernen is co-anchor of “Squawk Box,” which airs from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and is CNBC’s signature morning program. It is a fast-paced, irreverent look at the world of Wall Street and the longest running show on the network.

Kernen is based in CNBC’s global headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, N.J. Prior to his anchoring duties, Kernen was CNBC’s on-air stock editor and was featured throughout the business day on CNBC.

He previously worked on the Financial News Network after a 10-year career as a stockbroker.
