"A Private Person" is the sixth episode of the second season of the American drama television series The Morning Show, inspired by Brian Stelter's 2013 book Top of the Morning. It is the sixteenth overall episode of the series and was written by supervising producer Torrey Speer and producer Stacy Osei-Kuffour, and directed by Rachel Morrison. It was released on Apple TV+ on October 22, 2021.

The series follows the characters and culture behind a network broadcast morning news program, The Morning Show. After allegations of sexual misconduct, the male co-anchor of the program, Mitch Kessler, is forced off the show. It follows Mitch's co-host, Alex Levy, and a conservative reporter Bradley Jackson, who attracts the attention of the show's producers after a viral video. In the episode, Bradley and Laura cover for Alex when she takes a break from the show.

The episode received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, with many polarized over the absence of Jennifer Aniston in the episode.
