Hoda Kotb Might Get Ann Curry's Job

Ann Curry is pretty much out as co-host of Today and NBC will move her into a fancier role as foreign correspondent any day now. Everybody knows this now, but nobody knows who will get to inhale huge amounts of musky smugness while sitting next to Matt Lauer. Many have said that Matt will set next to a boiled, bland rutabaga who goes by the name of Savannah Guthrie, but Radar says that isn't happening. NBC has put several replacement possibilities in front of focus groups and they weren't feeling it for Savannah. But they were feeling it for Kathie Lee Gifford's partner in morning time drunkery Hoda Kotb. They all burp up hearts for Hoda and they think she should be pried away from Kathie Lee's pinot-stained claws to host the first two hours of Today. A source put it like this:

"Hoda scores off the charts in focus groups, and the audience can relate to her.

Hoda has a hard news background but is extremely comfortable discussing pop culture issues. She just has a warmth that viewers find comforting. She was very public with her breast cancer battle, and allowed cameras to follow her during her cancer treatments on Today. Hoda is a team player, and is so well liked by everyone at the show, most importantly, Matt Lauer. They have a very easy rapport and mutual respect.

The problem with Savannah is that in focus groups, she just doesn't score as high as Hoda does. NBC has been conducting focus groups to assist the network executives in determining who should replace Ann. Savannah is an extremely talented journalist, and she is extremely bright, but she only recently joined Today and viewers just aren't as comfortable with her."

I've always liked Hoda, because she's the patient friend who will calmly listen to the drunk ramblings of ridiculousness that pour out of your booze hole. Every drunk bitch needs a friend like that and Kathie Lee has hers in Hoda. That's why they can't tear Hoda and Kathie Lee apart. They belong together like gin and juice, like drunks and disco fries, like cooking wine and Shasta (don't act like you've never put those two together when you're out of wine coolers)...

What is Kathie Lee's drunk ass going to do without Hoda there to keep her in check? Kathie Lee's just going to sit at that table, licking on a bottle of a wine, because she's already so drunk that she forgot how to open one and is just going to lick through the glass to get to the delicious sweet nectar. Actually, that's some shit I want to see. HIRE HODA!

I actually think Hoda enjoys her current gig. It's more laidback and fun.

Agree that Savannah is the most boring option. And not to be mean, but damn that girl is plain looking.

cripbabe's picture

thank god they're getting rid of Ann. I AM Ms. Showbiz and told people when it was announced she was being put in the co-anchor chair that this was going to be a fucking disaster and I was right. bitch has two looks: deer in headlights and AWKWARD and neither are pretty to witness at that hour. add that to her constant flubs, crappy conversational improv skills, shitty interviewing abilities, close-talking, interrupt-itis and that creepy, whisper voice and hello - GOODBYE!

if they were smart, they's give Hoda the 7-9 slot with Matt, put no-one-gives-a-fuck-from-9-to-10 to Savannah Guthrie, who even makes my white bread run and hide, and then keep Hoda's gig going with Kathie Lee. it's a tough job and few do it well, so NBC needs to just offer Hoda whatever and pay up.

The problem here is Matt Lauer. This wonk has been out-of-control for a long time. Ann Curry is fine. He needs to go.

Stan Hooper's picture

Getting back to Ann here..Feel terrible for her. She is getting up at the crack of dawn doing her fucking job and all everyone discusses is how to get rid of her.

Reminds me of a job I once had. I was working my ass off and they were planning on replacing me. The new girl's business cards came the week I was about to let go and my friend at the front desk tipped me off. It was so fucked up since I was pregnant at the time.

I like Hoda, but get her far away from Kathie Lee. Then Hoda can really shine. =)

Have to retire from dlisted posting for a bit. Health issues front and center.

I need to say this even at the risk of being a Captain Bringdown. I do not quite understand the dlisters who perhaps never heard of, do not understand, have forgotten or heaven forbid, do not care, about the reality of 'what goes around comes around'.

Perhaps some light will begin to dawn that you are doing MK no favors. Who gets their jollies out of hurting people?

Peace. O dearest Golden Rule where did you go?

I guess you could say JJ is a kind of democracy ....one where loons are the majority of course. THEY can delete your posts....but it still isn't as bad as Celebitchy. I used to go there a couple of years back and got banned. NO idea why. I'm serious, I truly didn't say anything offensive about anyone. I think I griped about Lainey of Lainey gossip because her stories feel littered with her own personality disordered bullshit and she tends to pick on the most irrelevant things. But why would she/Celebitchy care??
JJ must know what he is dealing with over there though. Notice how he will place the Brand and Aniston stories one after the other most of the time? He must surely be inviting the lunacy.

That's okay, and thanks for not ignoring me. A pity I can't stay any longer but I'm going to bed, I'll be checking it out from work tomorrow morning.

The loons deleted Doggy's contributions. My guess is that she would be "spamming" the thread by using "Dlisted" as part of her screen name.

I got a few of my comments removed too. No surprises there.

G'nite y'all.

I'm sorry but I had to repost this, it's just too much and too fuckin' funny for me to bear.


"nobody messes with me and gets away with it. other posters may tolerate your childish nonsense but i will not. and i will call you on it when i choose to. i will also flag your post(s) again if the spirit moves me. as for the dinner party; you forget idiot, that i was an invited guest. so, i got to listen to what was said about a great many subjects.

interestingly, i met someone who actually used to visit this board from time to time. when i mentioned the idiot poster Whamo, this other dinner guest was surprised. according to her. you were banned because of your behavior. obviously, you didn’t learn your lesson."

She had me at "nobody messes with me and gets away with it". I'm telling you Wham, she's a keeper. XD

Sal, I've just noticed that they've taken a load of posts out! 30+ at least have disappeared in one go! No freedom of speech. Yes, I noticed but they're following suit and everyone mentioning the "fans". Oh my Gee!

---

Yep, it's part of some holistic cleansing ritual that they do. Such a waste of time. From what I read in earlier posts, the loons fancy themselves as reliable sources / insiders to the Holy Shits, and think that tabloids and other news agencies check out their threads hoping to get some scoop on the holy couple.

I still don't think the site owner would have time to do that, though. As I said before, I'm guessing that some loon either has moderation access or is friends with a mod who goes through the trouble of deleting the posts she doesn't like.

There was one post in which someone was posting some pics of the kids at their grandfathers house, and one of the major loons went crazy saying "Do not publish the link! You know that the tabloids visit here and will have access to those pics!".

Also, some whiner complained about the "fans" getting thumbed down, did you see how sensitive they are to that? ;)

Hey guys, ya I've been out all weekend and poked my head in late, I went over and threw a couple out there but it's too much of a pain on my BB as it's just too slow. That site has so much shit on it it takes forever to load and refresh the pages. I'll go there tomorrow and fuck with them then.

I had to laugh at the one loon that was bragging about being invited to a Manhattan "looking out on Central Park" dinner party with "intelligent people two of whom had talked to Angie and Brad". She was being all prissy so I told make sure to bend at the knees when she's lifting the serving trays so she doest throw her back out and be nice to the other waiters. Lol. She was all I'm NOT working there and calling me an idiot for not understanding what she meant!! She NEVER gets that I'm fucking with her and it's priceless how clueless she is to my goofing on her lol!

Sure he is, as a side note, a poster from FF claimed that our Bernie P. stole that moniker from him/her, and wanted to let everybody know that the original Bernie P. is no loon.

Oh well, loons can't say that we treat them bad. Ours even won a CT contest not so long ago! >D

I went and cleaned my friend's kitchen today. She's all Hoarders lite. I mean, I've seen worse, but OMG. There were dead ant carcasses littered around the sink. She's all, like, "Don't do it! Not tonight! Please no!" And I'm telling her, give me some cleaning solution and some paper towels and get the hell away ho! Last week I did her bathroom. The bottom of the sink was covered in black slime. It's all shiny now. I had to fight to get that done, too. She's a really nice person and I like her, but she has this weird thing.

LaCha, doesn't Bernie P. count as a loon to you? :)

Anyways, they are too afraid of this place, plus they know we are not fond of the Brand and that lots of peeps here have the hots for Charlize (they loathe her for some reason).

It's also because they wouldn't be able to tinker with their posts here like they do over there. They can post simultaneously with different aliases and also they have a thumbs up/down system that they love fucking with because it makes them think that they are a large group.
