They also left out Meredith

Now that Natalie won't be co-hosting Access Hollywood anymore, I wonder if she will go back to The TODAY Show fulltime?

Jenna is very popular with people who watch Kathie Lee and Hoda.

Jenna Bush is the frontrunner to replace Kathie Lee. Hoda may decide she doesn't want to do the 4th Hour without KLG. They could cancel he Kathie Lee & Hoda Show (since technically that what it had been for many years despite being under the tODAY Brand) and have Jenna and Sheinelle hist the 4th Hour

It appears Meredith Vieira has now left the network, as we have not seen her on any NBC News shows (She did not even take any part in NBC coverage of the Winter Olympics this year like she done from 2010-20186, in well over a year now. The last time she appeared on TODAY Show was back in January 2017 I believe. It kind of a shame really. She was a great asset for the show and the network. I wonder how the different the show could have been if she had stayed for 5 more years like NBC wanted her too. They may have been able to hold onto Number 1 (or the streak) for a little bit longer. Savannah is fine I like her, but TODAY Show has not been the same since Meredith left. I do miss watching Matt, Meredith, Al and Ann some days. Their time together was too short.. they were a good team. Katie and Meredith were the Good Old Days. The Show will never be that good again

What happened to CBS Ratings? 18 Months ago they had around 3.8 Million but now it down to 2.9 Million. they lost somewhere around 800,000-900,000 Viewers in a 18 Months period. Where have the Viewers gone? I sure Charlie Rose dismissal played a part in it.

Hope he get better. Interesting that Dylan Dteyer had the flu at the start of the Games during her first week in South Korea

I think more of it how to do with Katie having the most power and being the biggest star and lead anchor on the show at the time. Same with Meredith expect in her case she wasn't the biggest star on the show or the lead anchor but she was still a well-respected journalist who wield some small power within NBC or more then Savannah did during her time with Matt. she also had Money. neither Katie nor Meredith would have put up with that behavior directly from Matt or nothing that went beyond the general playful flirting, friendly teasing and the brother-sister relationship they had with Matt. Meredith and Katie would have both quickly reported him and made sure he was in some way punished especially Katie. Depending on how bad it was Katie would have made sure NBC did not renew his contract. I don't think Matt ever tired anything on any of the Women he worked with. He was smart enough to go after Women who had no leverage or power or fame and who needed the Money to make a living. Katie, Meredith, Jenna Bush and Kathie Lee had Power, Money, and Fame.

It very interesting that Anne stayed on TODAY Show for 14 Years before she became co-anchor. She obviously was not close with Matt and Katie (But had a professional working relationship) though She and Al were Friends. It shows that back in the day NBC went to great length to keep 'America First Family' together for as long as it could depsite one of its members not having a close relationship with two fo the others. I get why stayed during the Veiria Years. at least by then, there were more people on the show who she a had good relationship with. Also with the Environment at the show on top of that I have to ask why did she stay for so long?

So, Bryant, Katie and Anne have now all commented on Matt firing over sexual misconduct. the one person who still hasn't is Meredith Vieira. I wonder why that is?

Ann and Savannah are on good terms too. Ann has never had anything against Savannah (and has never blamed her) in fact the week Savannah started on the TODAY Show they had Lunch together and still follow each other on Twitter

The longest-serving Morning Show Anchor Teams in History are: Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski 10 years and 9 Months (The Longest Overall and Longest on Cable) Charlie Gibson and Joan Lunden 10 Years and 6 Months (The Longest for a Broadcast Morning Show) Matt Lauer and Katie Couric 9 years and 4 Months (TODAY Show Longest Anchor Team) Steve Doocy and E. D. Hill 8 Years 3 Months (Fox New Longest Morning Anchor Team) George Stephanopoulos and Robin Roberts 8 Years and 1 Months (GMA Current and Second Longest Anchor Team. The Current Longest Broadcast Morning Show Anchor team) Bryant Gumble and Jane Pauley 8 Years (TODAY Show Second Longest Anchor Team) Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer 7 Years and 5 Months (GMA Third Longest Anchor Team) Steve Doocy Gretchen Carlson 7 Years FOX Second Longest Anchor Team) Harry Smith and Paula Zahn 6 Years and 3 Months (CBS Longest Morning Anchor Team to date)

They have actually been the senior morning anchor team among all the Broadcast Networks since 2011. But among all Networks (including cable) that would be Joe and Mika

They did seem like an odd couple at the time. Robin MDS battle in 2012 seem to have brought them a little closer

It looks like some people already have http://variety.com/2018/tv/news/trump-shithole-fcc-complaints-1202662858/ I guess time will tell. It a no-win situation here but on any other normal day they would have fined them but NBC and CNN have a good argument on why they did not censor it as The President of these United states use the word to describe other countries.

I think the days of the Morning Shows having a Newsreader in accordance with the Co-anchors are over for the Networks. CBS did away with it in 2012 and NBC did in 2016. Now GMA has slowing been easing out that position from the show and I think now they have completely cut it from the show and don't have that seat anymore. They don't have a Newsreader anymore thought haven't made it official. Amy Robach does not give the news anymore like she uses to. She comes on now at 7:30 sometimes 8 doing other things but usually not reading the news. I think the days of having a Male and Female Co-anchor team with a (Usually Female) Newsreader and a Weatherman (A Male) are over. It is a very 1980s and 1990s format which to the network is probably outdated format now. Sometimes you need to change things up and not having the newsreader role anymore hasn't hurt NBC and CBS.

No, and I don't think Ann would ever agree to come back no matter what kind of money and contract they throw at her. She has moved on. NBC can't force Ann to come back if she doesn't want to.

CBS is still number 3 and still hasn't topped 4 Million viewers let alone on a weekly basis. That i hardly taking over the Morning race. It still in the cellar like it been for 40 years

Willie is still very loyal to Morning Joe tbh. He seems to be happy with what he doing.

Weill at some point Matt did deserve every penny he earned. Even up to the time he was Fired an argument could be made that he earned every penny of it

No they did not. Matt did not start off making 25 Million dollars. he didn't even start of making 5 Million.

Truth be told I rather have had Willie but I think they wanted to play it safe. What they might do now I am expecting is groom Willie as Hoda replacement. She will probably only be there 3-5 years IMO.

In this environment, they would never have done that. They were always going to stay within NBC even if Matt left on his own terms

Actually, TODAY show has wone Weeks in the ratings with Matt and Savannah. And you can't say the majrotiy and when only 12.5 Million out of 323 Million American watches the morning shows combined. The problem was not Savannah. GMA has been losing viewership as well even if they have been number 1 overall in viewers but TODAY Show has been number 1 in the Age 25-54 age group for over a year which is what really matters to the Network and Advertisers! It more important By the way, Robin Roberts doesn't do a d*m thing for me. She actually doesn't do anything for Men in general.

No
