Meet John Berman, the new co-host of 'Early Start'

In case you haven't heard, we're welcoming a new member to the "Early Start" team. John Berman will make his debut with Zoraida Sambolin on "Early Start" this Monday, July 16th, 2012 at 5am Eastern.

We'd love to tell you all about him in a big, glowing blog post about all his achievements. But in Berman style, we figured we'd let this video speak for his work and his excitement at joining our news organization. In his first digital video post, Berman explains the battle he's had with his facial hair over the span of his career, and how happy he is to join a network that isn't afraid of a little stubble.

Don't forget to see John on his big first day - Monday, July 16th at 5am Eastern on CNN.
