todayshowproducer 22 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I've noticed the thread about the Today Show's new set has become a place about the Today Show in general. So I think a thread for everything Today Show is in order...so voila! 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
todayshowproducer 22 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 "BLAST FROM THE PAST" The Today Show will end 2013 by going back to the past. On Monday, Dec. 30, former TODAY anchors Bryant Gumbel and Jane Pauley will join Matt Lauer to co-anchor the show. It'll be like old times for Gumbel and Pauley. Gumbel left the TODAY in 1997 after 15 years in an anchor slot, and Pauley left in 1989 after 13 years, the last seven of them as Gumbel's co-anchor.

(FROM FTVLIVE) Looks like Katie Couric (co-anchor from 1991-2006), Meredith Vieira (co-anchor from 2006-2011), and Ann Curry (co-anchor from 2011-2012) is not invited for the year-end show, isn't it? 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/#findComment-95214 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabceyewitness 824 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Considering Katie is still technically with Disney/ABC, Meredith is likely on holiday vacation, and Ann is eyeing an exit from NBC after the horrendous way she was booted from Today... I would say no. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/#findComment-95220 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daybreak 288 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 It is easy to regain number one but NBC and Matt just don't want to let Matt go/leave. But why is Today so grieve stricken they are number 2. They was number for the 80's and the 90's until 1995. So it is good that someone for a while took that spot in my opinion.

todayshowproducer 22 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 The Today Show has launched a year long series "Shine a Light", each anchor chose a topic near and dear to them and will work all year long to "Shine a Light" on it and give back to communities. They revealed the anchor choices spread out over the course of this week. But, they also included Tamron Hall...Any indications what this could mean for the future?

They revealed the anchor choices spread out over the course of this week. But, they also included Tamron Hall...Any indications what this could mean for the future? 1) they're trying to give off the image of being "personal and connecting with the community" 2) probably just trying to give her more exposure. People seem to like Tamron Hall and she does occasionally sub on Today.

Daybreak 288 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I believe NBC has some tricks up their sleeves and Tamron is apart of it. I think if she does become a permanent feature to the show, that would benefit NBC to become more competitive with GMA.

tvnewsjunkie 7 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 She did replace Natalie last night at the golden globes. This could be because they wanted Natalie to host with Matt in NY which Tamron could have done.

I am hoping she takes over Carson's position as anchor of the Orange Room. I don't think he deserves to be there AT ALL! She does a fantastic job filling in for him. NBC could also expand her role and have her as anchor of the Orange Room and the Chief Media Corespondent. She could then contribute to all NBC platforms, but expand her role on Today. Today could also have Orange Room "check ins" during the 3rd & 4th hours. She could report for KLG and Hoda like Sara Haines did. Thoughts?

MidwestTV 1232 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Today could just do rid of the Orange Room period. Wasted studio space is what it is, really. 1 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/#findComment-96340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BehindNYNews 147 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Sam Champion was on Today this morning. Idk, it just didn't feel right to me, too used to him being at ABC.

pulsethousand 0 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Did the Today Show get rid of that ugly orange couch and some of that other 70's style decor? I haven't noticed it lately. Then again, I really haven't watched it much in a long time. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13158-today-show/#findComment-96870 Share on other sites More sharing options...

newscopter7 233 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 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.

MorningNews 1458 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I didn't think I could like any Today Show duo more than Katie and Matt, but Meredith is just that good. They get along so well and it's enjoyable to watch them together. Yet I still can't stomach watching Lauer.

BehindNYNews 147 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 No surprise, Today won last week in total viewers and demos because of the Olympics. I must say though, by a pretty lousy gap. http://nbcumv.com/mediavillage/networks/nbcnews/pressreleases?pr=contents/press-releases/2014/02/18/todaywinsrating1538438.xml I have not doubt GMA will be back next week if not this week with oscars coming. Not saying Oscars can beat Olympics but it will help considering its not a huge viewer gap.
