Oh Yeah, Savannah Guthrie Is Officially The New Ann Curry
While most of the Internet focused all their attention on Katie Holmes' real-life remake of Prison Break yesterday, NBC quietly released a statement confirming the DUH of all DUHs. No, they didn't confirm that when you squeeze Matt Lauer too hard, a fountain of Summer's Eve will shoot out of his mouth. They confirmed that Savannah Guthrie's got Ann Curry's old job now, so get used to it. They made it clear on yesterday's show that Savannah is the new co-host, but they didn't officially announce it on air. It's kind of like when my mom and dad split, and my dad made me hang out with him and his new girlfriend without telling me exactly who she was. It was obvious, though. So yesterday, I looked at Savannah through the screen the same way I looked at my dad's new piece. With eyes that said, "I know why you're here and I don't like it, bitch."
Here's the BLAH BLAH BLAHs the president of NBC News released to The Washington Post and everybody else yesterday:
“As soon as Savannah joined NBC News she was a standout, reporting for every franchise in the news division and rising through the ranks. She has a one-of-a-kind combination of sharp wit and approachability, and our viewers value her journalistic skills and legal background just as much as her humor and charm. She can effortlessly go from interviewing the Secretary of State to jumping Olympic-sized hurdles on the Plaza. I’m thrilled to welcome Savannah as our newest co-anchor, and along with Matt, Al and Natalie, we’ve got the best morning team in the business.”
They probably went with Savannah over Natalie Morales, Hoda Kotb and Tamron Hall, because she's almost like a Katie Couric Lite. Savannah seems nice, is smart, is pretty harmless and non-conterverisal. In other words:
No, that is not me 20 years ago. I'm too basic to pull off lime green tights.

Worrying is using your imagination

So this 40 (cough, cough) year old lady got a job on the Today Show? This is all politics. Anne probably pissed someone off very high up and they showed her the door. I do feel bad for the new lady because they will do the same thing to her if she does not meet expectations. Hopefully she will ask Matt to use a condom.
Savannah Guthrie is ambitious...She will put up with Matt Lauer's weasel ways for some resume building. He is a shit.
9 month countdown...

matt laeur makes me have daddy issues.
Annette Lauer stays because being "Mrs. Matt Lauer" is worth it to her. If she divorced him, she'd stop getting invites to charity functions and her social status would diminish considerably. And she might have signed a prenup.
To a socialite like Annette, the actual money is less important than the social currency. If I were Annette, I'd take an Elin Nordegren-style exit and go enjoy that cash. But her identity is so wrapped up in being married to him, she won't go unless he divorces her. No matter what she threatens.
The only reason I watch "Today" is to catch a glimpse of Lenny, aka "Superfly". I get my news from NY1 and NPR and Gawker and Mr. Hekki.
I've never understood why morning "news" programs are set up to look like everyone is having a good time. It's stupid. I hate those commercials with Gayle King and those other people all laughing like it's one big party; then again, considering all the sex Lauer is rumored to be getting, maybe it is. There's not enough fucking news in the world to have 4 hours of it in the morning, 3 hours of it in the afternoon, and an hour of it at night.

For a split second I thought that was Katie Couric. I don't see NBC winning it's #1 position back, but what the hell do I know.

HI ESE! *smooches and frosting*
Dog: aahh, good point! I do remember that and that's when I thought he was finished. But you're right, NBC isn't going to let his reputation go down until they're ready. Until then, I guess I can only dream of the day where his name is on TMZ style headlines :).
He probably slept with her, too.

Now I won't be watching this sort of shit until I am stuck in a nursing home without a remote control, but from seeing the photos, I would rather look at this gal than ann curry. Plus curry is a bitter little bitch who was saying christianity is hate speech. Surveys show more than 50% of americans consider themselves christian. Wonder why her fucking ratings tanked?

Remember when the scandal broke about him and Morales? Remember how quickly it died out even though it was a really juicy story and even though Annette filed for divorce? That right there is the power of the peacock. They were not about to let their Golden Boy's name (and by association their name) get dragged through the mud.

Hi MizRo! I used to just watch the show on my way out the door in the mrng, but now I have time to catch all 4 hrs. Its a glorified episode or Entertainment tonight. At least Hoda and Kathie Lee accept it for what it is.
As someone else said, I don't know why his wife puts up with Lauer's crap. He comes from money and has beaucoup bucks from his today gig. I'd leave him in a second instead of looking over his shoulder and at my pubes to see what the fuck he's up to. And start getting some action myself! I can't wait until he looks up from his desk and his name is the headline!
I gave up TV in 2003 and haven't missed it except for NBA playoffs season, public TV, and Food Network. Even when I watched a lot of TV, I couldn't bear to watch any of the morning shows. Who's got time to sit and watch fluff before they go to work? That's an extra hour of sleep, dammit!
I'd hate to watch a segment on the Kardashians or Tanning Mom or whatever and then have to go to work. Talk about ruining my attitude before the day even gets started. :-P
Who is this lohanthony kid? How old is he? I love him. He needs to intern for you, MK.
Matt is a douche. He always has been. Not a fan of Ann Curry, but they gave her the door, hard. She didn't deserve to go out like that. Fuck Matt!

LMFAO DOG!! George Bush! *shaking uncontrollably with laughter*
Miz, I'm not either. I only watch the first 30-40 mins of it because that's when it's actual news and not them giggling over the latest celebrity whatever and cooking segments. I want cooking segments I'll go to the cooking channel and if I want to hear celeb gossip, I'll go on the internets. Four freaking hours and only maybe one hour of actual news. And we wonder why the rest of the world laughs at us. Silly me, I thought it was because of George Bush.

Hi MizRo! *waves*
I actually watched GMA for the first time in probably ten years. Despite the fuckery, I'm a die-hard Today Show fan from way back. The thing that struck me about GMA was how creepy it is. It's like a damn frat party held at the skankiest sorority on campus. The humor and gaiety seemed totally forced and just awful. I think even Willard Scott would find it too jolly.

Hi Miz! *waves*
The Today Show/NBC are stupid to be putting all their eggs in the Lauer basket. I was certainly no fan of Ann Curry's ass kissing, but what they did to her was wrong, and I have a feeling Matt and the show are going to feel some fall out, and GMA is going to start giving them a run for their money again.
Lauer IS a glib SOB. The only time Tom Cruise was ever right about something.
Ummm, hi back at ya ESE.

P.S. I agree with ESE - WHO watches morning TV?
Give me the news as I fly out the door to work.
Few Words...LMAO. Exactly. Savannah is a heartless b*tch that is srsly out of shape imho.
Hey miz, Dog, Evil, etc... Lauer is gross imo: I'd divorce his ass so fast he wouldn't know where all his money went.
Mrs. Lauer desrves better: I wonder why she stays.
i'm still amazed that anyone can watch this kind of slop when they're awake at this hour of the morning.

Dog- that's what I suspected. That Al Roker isn't pleased with the way crap is going down with Lauer and his female co-hosts, but stays out of the drama and just does his job. To me his body language demonstrated as much and where he was sitting when Ann left. I also noticed that he seems like he's just cordial to Matt. No big lovefest, there. Just a colleague.
Annette Lauer needs to just walk away. I can't imagaine having to watch your husband like a hawk, to the point where you have to monitor(allegedly)who he works with. How freaking tiring would that be? Matt will one day cross the wrong person and will get his comeuppance. Savannah is just bland.
Whamo on a weekend?!?!?!?!?!?

I don't watch them either. Sometimes, I will catch the court scandal segments on GMA, but I hate The Today Show with a passion. These shows USED to be about news, not it is all about 50 Shades of Crap, breast feeding vs bottle feeding and colon reports. Heaven forbid we get some world news!

TY! I haven't watched these morning shows since I was about 25 and got a lil more cynical about all the bullshit.
I agree, it sounds like it's only a matter of time for these two.

Roker is married to Deborah Roberts from ABC News.
The reason Al isn't upset about not getting The Chair is because he doesn't qualify for it and he knows it. He has never been anything but a weather guy and wouldn't know how to conduct hard-hitting report if it flew up his nose. He has made serious millions from his Today Show gig, his books, and all of the sideline shows he stars in and produces for others. If he's upset at all it's because he didn't like the way things went with the female co-anchors. He is known to have gotten along famously on- and off-screen with Katie, Meredith and Ann. He has never socialized with Lauer and seems to have a very superficial yet professional relationship with him.

Laugh at the fact that all these network 'news' programs take us for idiots. NBC is just too uncomfortable to watch with all the fake friendships and back office nonsense going on. It's like a game of CLUE.
MR. LAUER in the LOBBY with a KNIFE.
ABC is another can of crazy. They act like they are at a RAVE each morning and slobber all over each other so much it becomes Happy Hour in Creepy Town. How can you go to them for any real news when they think Entertainment Tonight was a good business model?
Antics. Props. Actors. Reality Whores. Cooking Segments. Music 'acts' deu jour on stage.....and 5 minutes left for any real news they happen to mention.
WTF?
Matt Lauer looks like a scared possum in the face lately.
Yes, Annette did say if Morales got the job, she'd divorce the possum. She knows he and his weasel are responsible for Nat's son being birthed - not her BH. This is also why Annette and their kids will accompany Lauer to London this summer: precisely because she knows his weasel will be saying howdy-do to various English Roses unless she's there to keep a leash on it. She knows what's up.
Lastly, Savannah has no upper lip, her big-ass gums are shiny, and she desperately needs electrolysis on that dirty sanchez she sports.

Here is what Washington Post TV critic Tom Shales said about Ann Curry several years ago, and I am paraphrasing: "She acts like she wants to sit on your lap to deliver the bad news."
Sorry Shales, but I remember this. If I want to have anyone deliver the "bad news" well, I have Don Imus or the nut cases on Morning Joe. And don't get me started about them!
I don't watch "Today" but I hope Savannah gets a fair chance....it's not her fault that Matt Lauer is the biggest fucking priss of a sorry excuse for a non-man ever to hit network television and has to whine to get his way. Good luck, Savannah.
Hekkis: I agree re: al roker. He's been oddly stoic through both Ann and Amy Robach's departure. I have a feeling that he's not thrilled about the BS politics that Lauer gets away with plus I think his wife is a journalist, too, so a part of him has to be pissed that these women are moving up in their careers (Robach, Morales, and maybe Guthrie) 'cause they're willing to fuck Lauer.
Plus, Al looks like Al, and no one's trying to fuck him. I don't know...I could be reading way too much into this stuff as I tend to do :)...but his body language on both recent departures has been interesting. When Ann left, she leaned over to him for the hug and had to reach across Matt for a tepid hand squeezw from Natalie.

Actually it was Natalie Morales that Annette Laur objected to because she was alleged to have had an affair with Lauer during the Vacouver Olympics. Allegedly Annette Lauer said if Natalie Morales got the co-achor job, she would divorce him. The wife doesn't have a problem with Gurthrie......yet.
