i read an article on Friday about how everyone on the Today show hates Ann Curry as Matt Lauer’s
co-host. i concur. my Today show viewings have
decreased sharply since Meredith Vieira left. she was just more enjoyable in
the mornings. i have a lot of respect for poor Ann, and i think she’s a
fantastic journalist and was doing just fine behind the news desk, but she is not co-host material.
i left the show on this morning because they were teasing
during the local morning news that a “legend” was returning with an
announcement. they showed the legend in silhouette and i knew right away it was
Meredith. (oh god, listen to me.) anyway, i turned the show off before the big announcement,
but just read that she’ll be joining Matt in London for the Olympics this
summer.
oh, please, TV gods, let this be NBC’s way of easing her
back into the official co-host role whilst easing Ann back into foreign reporting,
which is apparently her favorite thing to do.
it’s a small, silly thing, i know, but i really miss
Meredith in the mornings. it was like getting the news from my good friend,
pathetic as that may be to admit.
and, let’s face it, her return might be the only way to
ensure Matt signs his new contract. not to mention the only way to redeem the show after it allows Sarah Palin to co-host this week. {shudder}
