Does anyone know if Hoda bumps the needle at all? Is there a spike in ratings when she subs for Savannah?

Erin O'Hearn's on at 4 tonight.

Erin O'Hearn for the 4 o'clock slot!

I wish would have returned to the Mission for the theme.

I've always been a Savannah Guthrie fan--I think she's done well in a difficult position--and I think she and Matt Lauer have better chemistry than Matt had with Ann Curry, but having watched Today this morning, there's no denying that what Today is missing is Meredith Vieira. It's Day 1 and she has already enlivened the whole Today team and it is an much more watchable show with her on air. You can just tell Matt and Meredith enjoy each other.

Jane Hanson should be considered for an evening slot.
