danielk 0 Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 Guest hosts next week: http://www.today.com/allday/meredith-vieira-brian-williams-tom-brokaw-guest-host-today-1D80129378 Monday: Meredith Vieira Tuesday: Brian Williams Wednesday: Kathie Lee and Hoda Thursday: Tom Brokaw Friday: Maria Shriver Interesting...but will Maria, Tom and Brian force that they get announced before Matt at the 7am? Maybe...I'm guessing KLG will obviously want to get announced full stop, seems like something she'd demand.
Leavellebrett 85 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Brian Williams said on tonight's Nightly News that he is coanchoring Today tomorrow. Expect another one of these...
24994J 5621 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Geez...BriWi, Josh Elliott and Bryant Gumbel were all on Today in like the first minute of the show. Add in Lauer, and it's the past, present, potential future of the show, all with a little dose of the surreal.

24994J 5621 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 What was Bryant doing there today? Same thing as Josh, talking about Ray Rice.
JoseRM303 171 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Jenna Wolfe named lifestyle and fitness correspondent for Today show; no replacement yet named for Jenna on Weekend Today. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/changes-at-weekend-today-2_b236520
JoseRM303 171 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Well according to this Sheinelle Jones is supposedly going to be replacing Jenna Wolfe as news anchor on Weekend Today: http://ftvlive.com/todays-news/2014/9/12/is-former-philly-anchor-getting-jenna-wolfes-old-job I would've thought at least Craig Melvin would've gotten the gig.
Daybreak 289 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Well according to this Sheinelle Jones is supposedly going to be replacing Jenna Wolfe as news anchor on Weekend Today: http://ftvlive.com/todays-news/2014/9/12/is-former-philly-anchor-getting-jenna-wolfes-old-job I would've thought at least Craig Melvin would've gotten the gig. I believe they are grooming Craig Melvin to replace Lester Holt in the future. Plus not to be all controversial, I highly doubt that they would have two black males on Weekend Today.
former newsboy 52 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Hoda Kotb all week long! Somebody pinch me! Meant to post sooner, saw a commercial following weekend Nightly News. This is the way it should be. Matt's an ass but Hoda is the perfect co-host for him à la Meredith Vieira. Why they didn't go with her instead of ho-hum Savannah, I'll never understand.
JoseRM303 171 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 Well it's official former Good Day Philadelphia anchor Sheinelle Jones joining Weekend Today as news anchor/reader: http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/sheinelle-jones-named-news-anchor-of-weekend-today_b238932
morningnewsexecutive 1 Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Former GMA anchor joining Today as a special correspondent. http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/former-gma-anchor-joan-lunden-named-special-correspondent-for-today-show_b239975
morningnewsexecutive 1 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 My #wcw, Savannah Guthrie will return Nov. 3rd. She made a surprise visit this am on the show with Vale and Mike.
BehindNYNews 147 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Well it looks like Jamie Horowitz had some big plans at Today, including getting rid of Natalie (which explains the rumors) and Savannah and replacing them with Josh Elliot and Hoda Kotb respectively. http://pagesix.com/2014/11/18/matt-lauer-behind-the-firing-of-top-today-executive-jamie-horowitz/
B2r4a6n 103 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 While I think Hoda should have gotten the anchor spot to begin with, Savannah's not that bad and the last thing the Today show needs is any more on air personnel changes.
susquvalleywgal 520 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 So, Matt Lauer wants the TODAY tradition to continue to cocktail hour at 10AM?! Well Played Mayans. -- Matt
24994J 5621 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 I'm actually going to commend Matt on this one. His co-anchors essentially asked him for some assistance and pull, and he came to bat for them. Sure, Matt effectively got another person fired, but how is it any worse than what Horowitz was going to do?
FanOfWNBC 0 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 IMO this is a really stupid move. I happen to like both Hoda and Tamron, and wouldn't like to see either of them leave today, but Natalie and Willie? Absolutely insane. Interestingly, though, the Yahoo! article ( https://tv.yahoo.com/news/report-natalie-morales-willie-geist-fired-today-143900015.html ) also says this: "However, it's possible that NBC could try to woo Morales and Geist back, according to Us,since their firings came at the recommendation of Today general manager Jamie Horowitz, who was let go on Monday after just two months." Now that would be a good thing. "It's just my opinion. I could be wrong." -- Dennis Miller
24994J 5621 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Take a look at some headlines. No one seems to know what's going on... https://news.google.com/news?ncl=diD-ypbLn0-xbEMG0sL488eEEPPdM&q=natalie+morales+willie+geist&lr=English&hl=en&sa=X&ei=BMxsVNvVEIekyQTHgIHAAg&ved=0CCsQqgIwAA
JoseRM303 171 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Would like to see Lester and Dylan promoted to weekdays and Matt & Al demoted to weekends.
Rusty Muck 4390 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 So I take it the Today Show wanted a more catastrophic mess than what befell the Tonight Show in 2010? This would have been tailor made for an Abbott and Costello comedy bit.
B2r4a6n 103 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 How much longer does anyone think Ms. Turness will be around for...I give her until sometime early next year.
24994J 5621 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Looks like US Weekly screwed one of the many pooches on this one... http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/nbc-news-boss-on-us-weekly-today-show-story-the-rumors-are-wrong-period_b246485
MidwestTV 1239 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Didn't this story first come from a tabloid source? Why did you guys take anything from a tabloid so seriously? They were probably just trying to stir up some controversy and get people talking, and it worked.
