Mark Halperin, the New Comeback Kid?

What's a little sexual harassment if you're a Star on Morning Joe?

Disgraced journalist Mark Halperin has been spotted with a string of powerful media industry pals, insiders told Page Six -- including CNN and PBS folks -- sparking buzz that he’s the latest #MeToo-struck star to plot a comeback.

But sources close to the political pundit insist to us that they were all just social calls.

Multiple sources tell Page Six that Halperin -- who was fired by NBC in October after five women accused him of sexual misconduct while working at another network -- had meetings with cable news fixture Kellyanne Conway, fellow embattled journalist Charlie Rose, CNN pundit and #TimesUp activist Hilary Rosen and an unnamed PBS executive.

But a friend of Halperin's insists that all the meetings were simply conversations between friends, telling us, "There was no discussion of TV in the meetings," adding that Halperin is "not thinking about his career at this point."
