Or Becky Quick? Or Andrew Ross Sorkin? Joe Kernen? Jim Cramer? Because you think it would be a pleasant way to start the morning or, alternatively, a horrifying way sure to get you out of bed without delay? Now you can!

CNBC has launched an alarm clock app that allows you to select your anchor of choice for a daily wake-up call. Sadly, they are not personalized to the user but each host does wake you up in his or her own distinctive way (Sorkin says "It's go time," while Jim Cramer shrieks "WAKE UP AND BUY 100 SHARES OF BEAR STEARNS").* Joe Kernen was very disappointed to hear Becky Quick's line is not "Wake up, baby" but you can download the dulcet tones of Rick Santelli, so it's not all bad.

When a girl hangs up on me, I try again," rather than "Sure," or "Yeah, anything can happen," or "Never say never, Andy." At this point, the anchors could have moved on but Joe Kernen saw an opening for a little repartee and went for it, not realizing that he was dealing with a professional. [8:45
