Meredith Vieira Doesn't Want To Replace Ann Curry
Ann Curry will soon let out her last "good morning, good morning, good morning, everybody, morning" as co-host of Today, because Matt Lauer hates her and he's hoping that for his next edition of "Where in the World Is Matt?" he'll report from her vacant office. For months now, there's been rumors that the producers of Today can't wait to pink slip Ann, and when Matt resigned, he let them know that he really wants a new co-host. Cut to last night when The New York Times reported that the producers will push Ann out of the anchor chair any day now. They're hoping to get Ann out before the Olympics start. So your dream of seeing Ann awkwardly say "mmmm hmmmm" next to a topless Michael Phelps has been crushed!
TMZ says that the NBC peacock put on its trench coat, covered its face with a fedora and met Meredith Vieira in a dark alley to offer her the co-anchor job back. Ann got the job a year ago after Meredith quit, because she was sick of waking up at the hour of the ungods and wanted to spend more time with her family. Meredith turned their asses down, but will stay on as a special correspondent.
Since Meredith is over that shit, NBC has put third hour co-host Savannah Guthrie at the top of their list. Some sources say that NBC will make Ann a foreign correspondent since she's better at reporting from Darfur than asking Kim Kardashian how often she bleaches her asshole hair.
Yeah, Savannah Gurthie is their top choice. They can choose between Savannah, Natalie Mortales and Tamron Hall, and they go with Savannah's unflavored oatmeal ass? That's like saying Shelley Hack is your favorite Charlie's Angel.
Watching Ann interview guests during a fluff piece is about as pleasant as having butt sex with a cactus, but she's not the main problem. I watch that mess every day and every day they show me a viral video I watched three weeks ago, show me how to make a salad, show me the latest summer trends in white capris and force feed me Star Jones' opinion on stupid shit. So yeah, what I'm saying is that it's Star Jones' fault. BLAME STAR JONES.

Hey shelley hack is my favorite angel.......
No one. Y'all are taking this quite seriously. The last time I recorded the show was to see Curry versus Palin, for fun. If Palin can wipe the floor with Ann, Curry has no place on broadcast TV. It was pathetic. Maybe Gore can find a spot for Curry on Current TV.

Excuse my beauty but really who the Fuck watches this black hole of tv
This shitty show has turned into a mess.
They are more interested in trashy celebrities like PMK and Lindsay's latest fuck ups. They very rarely talk about news, it's like watching 3 hours on Entertainment Tonight.
It needs to be replaced with morning cartoons.
Isn't it a rule that the co-host has to be f***ed by Matt first? That might rule out one or...well one. He's a pig.
Ann Curry was the worst choice for this job. She is a terrible interviewer. Her 'feel good' bullshit is sickening. Matt got her fired, we all know it.
She Stinks!
that Mr. Potato Head would be a better choice than any of these people. i. despise. morning. yapyap. tv.

No on cannot convince me Lauer's true love is Katy Couric. I swear I thought they were going to have sex in front of my eyes MANY times in the morning. He seriously cried when she left in 2006.
----------------------
That's funny!! It's hard to picture Lauer showing a warm emotion like that. He's good in his role as host but he's arrogant and smug. Must have been uber stressful for Curry sitting next to him.
zomay, I sure don't, that's for damn sure! Ads killed it for me long, long ago... Guess they never got the memo, cause they think they're still relevant, bwahahahaha ;P

Worrying is using your imagination
to create something you don’t want.
This story is TOO old! It's like the married guy who says he is going to leave his wife for you---never happens. I think Ann Curry is going to die on Today. This story about her getting fired has been floating around since Viera left A YEAR ago. What does that tell ya? First it was: "there are talks to replace Ann with xyz." Then it was: "As soon as Lauer gets his contract renewed, Curry is GONE." Notice how Curry is still there?

fuck Ann Curry - she SUCKS and always looks like the TODAY SHOW hairdresser is on permanent vacation. bitch, it's called HAIRSPRAY - get some and glue those stupid hair parts DOWN.
and while you're at it, STFU when guests are talking and for god's sake, keep your fucking hands to yourself. no wonder they're kicking her to the curb, but Savannah Guthrie?? please. if I wanted white bread, I'd buy a big jar of peanut butter to go with her lisping ass. and really, at this point in time, I could be the co-anchor if all I've gotta do is ask pussy questions of a Kardashian or Kate Gosselin.
Jeaneee, STILL waiting for the babe? Are you sure you haven't gone over the 9 month mark? heheheh *just kidding ya*
OnT: Is it me or does Vieira look a little too natural dressed as the queen?? hahhahahha

Why don't viewers want Ann? Is she too exotic for Middle America?
^^^^^^^^^^
Oh please. Ann Curry is about as exotic as a box of Yodels.

Hoda might be worth considering. She comes across as very laid-back but capable. Ann seems like the nicest person, but she wasn't right for the role.
I've always loved Meredith, but she doesn't hide her dislike of her co-workers very well. When she was on The View the tension from between her and Lisa Ling was palpable and uncomfortable to watch.
Poor Ann seems to be taking the fall. In reality, the show has sucked for the past couple years because of the CONTENT. They repeat the same stupid, irrelevent shit over and over and over again. For example, for three days in a row now, one of the top stories was about that little kid who played Dath Vader in a VW commercial who had heart surgery. That's not a TOP fucking national story. It's a little entertainment blurb at best. After many, many years, I have switched to GMA. They can blame Ann all they want, but they should be firing producers right and left.
Miz cynical, it was years ago when he had that show The Restaurant. Sorry I don't remember specifics but it was mostly about what a hound DiSpirito is and what a complete diva he is. Total asshole who thinks he's God's gift.

Dog: what's some og the scoop on rocco? I used to have a crush on him. But now he just comes across as smarmy. I saw him on a commercial for that Fox dating show with the Sitauatiion and my hubby was like, didn't he used to be a chef?
The Today Show was great up until Couric left. I'm so damn ancient, I can remember when Lauer hosted PM Magazine.

I remember when they actually had good stories. I used to watch it with my Mom and Dad. It was an entertaining program, and I liked it.
Now, I turn on that mess, and I see JUSTIN BIEBER's nasty image. WTF? Why is that little butthead on the show? Is that really their target market?!?
What would be great if Matt's wife Annette got hired at GMA to do stories on fashion, lifestyle, beauty, etc.... (she used to model)
Savannah "shark teeth" Guthrie? When will NBC realize it's that doofus Matt Lauer that's the problem? I can't even begin to think who there can replace him. They are all boring!
Buh-bye!

The only inside knowledge I have is the nail salon I go to. One of the other customers' dads is a honcho at NBC and she always has the latest goss. She used to tell the most hilarious stories about Rocco DiSpirito. Anyway, once I heard it from her, I started watching closely. Meredith's little jabs and insults weren't for fun. Once I knew what I was looking for, it became extremely obvious. Lauer hated being the butt of her "jokes".

Wow! I had no idea but that sounds like a pretty good source to me. That's hilarious.

Yeah, I'd go for that.
The only reason I watch "Today" is to see Lenny:
http://shophollydays.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Today-Show-Lenn...
In our house we call him "SuperFly" and shout when we see him.
While Ann Curry was a failure and was painful to watch at all times, I don't think she should have to take the fall for the horror that is the Today Show.
It's the writers and producers who need to be soundly lashed with a wet noodle and sent to the gallows. Every damn segment on that show is a hot vaginal odor mess. The third hour needs to be dynamited. Guthrie is the most obnoxious, annoying person--surprisingly so for someone who is disingenuous and wooden. It's hard to believe she has the credentials she does.
Hoda might indeed be a saving grace for that show.

Mel-Tang, Curry would never have gotten into the anchor's chair without Lauer's okay. He HATED Viera and didn't want a repeat so he made sure he got to veto anyone he didn't like when she left.
---------------------
I don't know about this. Unless you have inside knowledge I don't have, by all accounts he and Meredith liked each other alot. They had great chemistry and that's why there's been such a shitty transition to Ann. They have the chemistry of a wet fart.

I'm amazed that "Today" is number one. GMA is the best morning show on the air (mostly b/c of Robin Roberts & Sam Champion).
**************************************************
Couldn't agree more. I am a GMA girl all the way, mostly because of Robin Roberts. Loved it when Diane Sawyer was on with her. They were so great together.
Watching Matt Lauer is not something that appeals to me - mornings are bad enough for me already.

Jenna Bush! If Vierra won't come back, we need the skills and experience of Bush to compliment Matt's egomania. For those who don't think Jenna is enough, I say both Bush twins: Babs and Jenna. Jenna is already part of the NBC family. Why not add another? Plus, it would give Matt new punany to chase.

Didn't Ann put her man hands on Brad Pitt's face when she interviewed him? And didn't he get a clause in his contract that no one can touch him right after that happened?
That whole face toching thing was awful- no one wants any stranger to just touch their face, ANN.
So, good morning, good morning,
good morning, good bye.
I could never take Ann Curry seriously because b*tch always looks and talks like she just woke up out if a coma! Her voice is annoyingly monatone and her hair always has this disheveled look to it. Out of ALLL the aspiring anchors out there, how did that boring as woman get a job??___________________________

I have never watched any of this mess, so I don't realky know any of them. I do, however, loathe Matt Lauer. He gives off a douchey ass vibe. I bet he's behind the firing. Probably wanted his 'piece' sitting next to him. :(

MK, I've put on my detective LoToya hat and my medical intuition is that NBC Today Show is giving you the sicks! I had to back away from the NBC News Trainwreck to save my own sanity. They are zombie idiots from the top to the bottom. How can any of these tricks justify their salaries? Anyway, I'm liking that this "network" is getting a daily beat down for its every day ignorance and incompetence. I f'ing hate NBC News. (almost as much as goop, it's a tie, actually.)
My vision of world peace: a chicken in every pot, and pot for all us chickens...and weasels.
good morning Matt, Meredith and Al and good morning to you in the morning news this morning good morning *barf*
The only one there worth two shits is Lester Holt. Make him the one and only anchor!
Isn't this show for the dead, near-dead, and texas doc?
