Re: Who is your pick to replace Matt Lauer on Today Show?

How about not putting categories on any of them-- just enjoy people as individuals--

No, no, not Shep, ha.   Shep i wouldn't mind on a less stiff and structured talk show, or running a very unharnessed, late night show like hilarious Greg Gutfeld does.   Shep can be very funny.

 

I'll stand by my white-haired protoge, the versatile Mr. Hewitt.  One man's (or woman's) "pompous" is another man's "cerebral"....


Hilarious Greg Gutfield, huh?  😄

Why not give the job to Rachel Meadow who already works at NBC ?

Now, now, let's not diaparage each other's picks.  Kind of takes the fun out of responding spontaneously to smb3's pleasantly speculative thread....

whoever gets the job I sure hope their salary is less bloated than Matt Lauers. I was sickened to learn he made $25 million a year. A family friend was a producer in news at a local TV station and only made $40,000.

I think they should rotate news people, celebrities, etc.   Then, after several months, one will 'shine'.  That's what I would do if I were in charge.  Keep in mind that I don't watch any of the panel format early morning news.  I begin watching the various talk shows immediately after the early morning panel type news.  I 'switch around', depending on what interests me at that time. .......... Just thinking out loud right now..........Do they really need a replacement?  I'll have to watch tomorrow morning, just to 'see what's cooking'.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Willie Geist definitely. Ann Curry?  No, she is too cloying.  She is gone for a good reason.
