Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 I haven't really cares since Meredith Viera left, and I think she was holding the show up on her own for a long time before she left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 Here's an interesting quote that Lauer recently made: In other words, Matt concedes that the show lacks freshness, but--at the same time--feels that it is essential he stay! Personally, I think one of the biggest problems with Today is that the brand has been diluted with unnecessary third and fourth hours. (Though I acknowledge that I a lot of people seem to like Kathie Lee and Hoda.) When it comes to morning shows, two hours is clearly the optimal length. By the way, I think it can be safely said that a possible fifth hour of Today (that many feared) won't be happening in the forseeable future.

Members JaneAusten Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 Good grief I cant stand that arrogant jerk. Of course he couldn't possibly be part of the lack of freshness could he? Wasn't he not long ago bragging about that Professionals segment they have with Star Jones? Despite the slips, the Today show is a known brand and is still the most profitable show on TV. Frankly the 4 the hour of Hoda and Kathie Lee is the most entertaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Max Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 As I previously indicated, I have never previously been a fan of Ann Curry. However, it was such a classy act on her part to show up for work today: http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/06/21/nbc-made-contingency-plans-but-ann-curry-reports-to-work-at-today/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 At least she's not letting them paint her as the bad one, which they were probably hoping to do. This type of thing is why NBC has lost millions of viewers - they are arrogant, elitist, and clumsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 The today show did have warmth, and it died when Jane Pauley left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 Perky Katie was always praised for warmth, but it never felt real to me. I think that's why the show became so hard and cold as she and Matt aged, whereas Bryant and Jane always seemed to have genuine affection for each other.

Members quartermainefan Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 Good Morning America had great luck when they brought Diane Sawyer back after many years, NBC should beg Tom Brokaw to come back for six months, or even Jane Pauley. (whatever happened to Jane Pauley?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 I think Katie was perky and spunky and she had chemistry with Lauer. That worked for a while. Meredith Viera was an improvement to me.I've always found her likable and more authentic than most of the clowns she's had to work with all these years including many idiots at The View. I think Ann Curry just didn't work but I do think shed be more successful as a. Ightly anchor than Katie was because she comes across much more serious. Maybe CBS will take her on for 60 minutes.

Members DRW50 Posted June 21, 2012 Members Share Posted June 21, 2012 She works with the Today Show sometimes, for AARP. Or she did. Here she and Tom Brokaw are in 2011. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsnYJBzbJUQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIpLWJlpk98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted June 24, 2012 Members Share Posted June 24, 2012 Rumor has it Hoda Kotb is going to get the job. That's a terrible idea! They need to keep her with Kathie Lee, those two are dynamic together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted June 24, 2012 Members Share Posted June 24, 2012 Hoda's wonderful, she is also dynamite with Kathie Lee...really, the most enjoyable hour of The Today Show is the Kathie Lee and Hoda one. Poor Ann, she's just being thrown under the biggest bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted June 24, 2012 Members Share Posted June 24, 2012 Oh yeah, Hoda is wonderful and she'd do a great job with George, but I don't want to see her leave Kathie Lee. They're the best part. I agree. Poor Ann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 24, 2012 Members Share Posted June 24, 2012 If it wasnt for Hoda and Kathy Lee, then how would we get gems like this? <object width="512" height="288"><param name="movie" value=" Please register in order to view this content name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="512" height="288" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object> and this <object width="512" height="288"><param name="movie" value="http://www.hulu.com/embed/AtlY3BrJwxlp-ELEjH7ZDg"></param><param'>http://www.hulu.com/embed/AtlY3BrJwxlp-ELEjH7ZDg"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.hulu.com/embed/AtlY3BrJwxlp-ELEjH7ZDg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="512" height="288" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted June 25, 2012 Members Share Posted June 25, 2012 Kathie Lee without Hoda would suck. Unless they can force Regis out of retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
