I quit watching the Today Show

I do not understand why the weather man Al Roker is now their top person on the show.... why would I care what he thinks or the like? They must have had a lousy pool of candidates for the job and he won. I have nothing against the man... he does weather fine. But I do not want to listen to "life as Al Roker" sees it.

I guess he likes it as he has a new 5 year 50 million dollar contract with the network....

I haven't watched anything on nbc since the 90s. I liked his forecasts, but why would anyone care what any 'influencer' recommends? I choose who influences me, not some nbc exec.

Is this Al Roker thing supposed to be like 'Oprah's favourites'?

Oh brother!

I also quit watching the very same show for reasons that will be kept to myself, along with other news and talk shows.

Have never watched it, myself. Not once, in all my life, though I know who Roker is. Morning TV has just not been part of my routine. (And you were right - it was a snorefest. I watched the clip.)

Al Roker is now their top person? As in the team leader? Wow. I haven't watched the morning shows in ages but this shows how far Today has sunk. .

@ValuSkr yes he seems to be the leader of the pack.

Maybe when they waded through all of the perverts, he was left.

I mean, I don't think it's any worse than two women drinking their way through the last hour of the show.

But I also think not watching is an excellent choice and I support your decision.
