Hoda Kotb Might Get Ann Curry's Job

Ann Curry is pretty much out as co-host of Today and NBC will move her into a fancier role as foreign correspondent any day now. Everybody knows this now, but nobody knows who will get to inhale huge amounts of musky smugness while sitting next to Matt Lauer. Many have said that Matt will set next to a boiled, bland rutabaga who goes by the name of Savannah Guthrie, but Radar says that isn't happening. NBC has put several replacement possibilities in front of focus groups and they weren't feeling it for Savannah. But they were feeling it for Kathie Lee Gifford's partner in morning time drunkery Hoda Kotb. They all burp up hearts for Hoda and they think she should be pried away from Kathie Lee's pinot-stained claws to host the first two hours of Today. A source put it like this:

"Hoda scores off the charts in focus groups, and the audience can relate to her.

Hoda has a hard news background but is extremely comfortable discussing pop culture issues. She just has a warmth that viewers find comforting. She was very public with her breast cancer battle, and allowed cameras to follow her during her cancer treatments on Today. Hoda is a team player, and is so well liked by everyone at the show, most importantly, Matt Lauer. They have a very easy rapport and mutual respect.

The problem with Savannah is that in focus groups, she just doesn't score as high as Hoda does. NBC has been conducting focus groups to assist the network executives in determining who should replace Ann. Savannah is an extremely talented journalist, and she is extremely bright, but she only recently joined Today and viewers just aren't as comfortable with her."

I've always liked Hoda, because she's the patient friend who will calmly listen to the drunk ramblings of ridiculousness that pour out of your booze hole. Every drunk bitch needs a friend like that and Kathie Lee has hers in Hoda. That's why they can't tear Hoda and Kathie Lee apart. They belong together like gin and juice, like drunks and disco fries, like cooking wine and Shasta (don't act like you've never put those two together when you're out of wine coolers)...

What is Kathie Lee's drunk ass going to do without Hoda there to keep her in check? Kathie Lee's just going to sit at that table, licking on a bottle of a wine, because she's already so drunk that she forgot how to open one and is just going to lick through the glass to get to the delicious sweet nectar. Actually, that's some shit I want to see. HIRE HODA!

"Today" really manages to make their hosts eventually turn on one another like hungry jackals attacking unguarded baby gazelles, don't they? Remember Bryant Gumbel's leaked bashing of Gene Shalit and Willard Scott? Remember the aforementioned sacking of Pauley for Norville? It's safer in the UFC. At least there they don't pretend it's not hand-to-hand combat.
__________________________________________________
Bryant Gumbal bashes everyone! Matt still calls him his "best friend." Did anyone see the Today Show 60th reunion? I was surprised Deborah Norville even showed up. Did Shalit die? He missed the reunion.

Willard Scott is still on it! He must be on the dole from Smuckers.

I'll stop. I'm always dragging you down the off-topic thread :)!

mike -- yeah, I've been watching since the beginning. I've had problems with it here & there, some big problems, especially with that damn ugly Sookeh. She's ugly as sin, can't act her way out of a paper bag, and we're supposed to believe these gorgeous men are all in love with her ass? If she lands up in bed with Meloni, I guarantee you there will be a fucking mushroom cloud over Chicago!!! Sorry, we're going off topic here, the dlisted police will be after us.

Have you been watching for its entire run? Reason that I ask is that I watched (and liked) the first season, but then I started on the second season and lost interest.

This is turning out EXACTLY like that famous "SN" episode featuring Kathleen Turner and Jan Hooks portraying Deborah Norville and Jane Pauley doing "All About Eve". I wonder who the "Phoebe" is in the current situation?

Is anyone else bothered by Kathie Lee's boobs? I don't know why, but they've bothered me for years! Like, they don't match her body. I think its just because the older she gets, the more they sag(like any woman's) but I dunno. Maybe because she has this haggard looking face, so you look at her physique, but that's not worth looking at either. I just feel like shed be doing herself a favor by getting a reduction.

I was curious about it, so I've been trying to look up that character but I haven't had any luck yet.

Not sure if sci-fi movies are your thing, but I saw "Prometheus" on an IMAX theater last Friday.
I liked it but I may need a second viewing.

____________________________________________________
In my experience, guys like Matt are the opposite. It's guys like Russell Brandt who wash their dicks right after sex. The ones who come off all sexual seem to be the ones with the biggest hang-ups.

I remember my ex-husband came off as being this liberal easy going sexual guy, but behind closed doors he was the WORST. He would make a beeline for the shower as soon as he came. He was a germaphobe to the max. No one would believe me when I told them he was that way.
======================================================

TRUE. And those who may think it is a lot of fun "to make them dirty". Not really. That wears off pretty early. I dated a guy YEARS ago who was evangelical AND a germaphobe, so phobey about many, many things. That guy could not even thoroughly let himself enjoy a blow job. It was terrible. Not saying that your hubby was, but with my experience it's not as mysterious or sensual as one might imagine. People who are retentive or overly clean whether in mind or body make me want to scream!! Probably cause my mother was like that and punished me but that is another story that I will not get into. LOL.
