Nobody Likes Matt Lauer
Earlier this week, Matt Lauer tried to convince everyone that he's not the one who put Ann Curry on a bus headed straight for ByeBitchville and he should get 0% of the blame for the way her firing went down. Matt admitted that NBC didn't handle it right and he also said that he tried to get them to give her more time as co-host. Matt's damage control campaign came 9 months too late. The New York Times says that Matt is only trying to wash away the skid marks from his image now, because his popularity is falling faster than the hairs on his head.
Last month, staff members from Today and executives from NBC got together to talk about what they learned from focus groups. What they learned is that most people answered "HELL!" when asked where in the world do they want Matt Lauer to go to next? The viewers didn't exactly come out and say that they'd rather get a pap smear from a porcupine than watch Matt Lauer, but they did say, “What matters most is the anchor connection to the audience; what we need to work on is the connection.” Translation: WE HATE MATT LAUER!
Good Morning America kicked Today off of its morning show throne last April and that's when Matt Lauer's popularity started to drop. The Times says that when Ann was fired, Matt's popularity really went down the toilet.
Mr. Lauer’s Q Score — a measure of likability, treated as gospel by the TV industry — has fallen by more than half since he was paired with Ms. Curry in June 2011. It was a 19 that September; by this January it was a 9.
For the first time his counterpart on “Good Morning America,” George Stephanopoulos, has a higher score. For Mr. Lauer “the drop started happening in the beginning of 2012, and it’s slowly eroded since then,” said Henry Schafer of Marketing Evaluations, the company that surveys thousands of viewers to come up with the scores.
Several people who work for Today told the Times that Matt's contract will not be renewed when it expires in 2014. A rep for Today told EW that they aren't firing Matt and he can stay as long as he likes. What they mean by that is they're not going to renew his contract, but they're going to let him say that he's quitting, because he wants to spend more time with his wife, children and side pieces.
I've said this before, but Ann never worked as co-anchor. I liked her when she was telling me about Syria, but I didn't like her when she was sucking on the air that Brad Pitt exhaled. Ann needed to go and the rest of them need to go to. Fire Matt! Fire Al! Fire Atlanta (or whatever her name is)! Fire all of them! Replace them all with kittens. Kittens work for cheap, they aren't smug and they won't fuck all the interns.

He's an entitled shitbird. Go away now please.
I just read where Jeopardy is considering Matt for their host in 2016 when Alex retires.

I hate him. Years ago I was walking up Park Ave to work (like 7am on a weekend) and heard all this huffin' and puffin' coming up behind me. It was a jogger, and as he passed his sweat flicked off and hit me. Completely disgusted, then I noticed it was none other than Matt Lauer. True story.
he makes 25 mill for reading off a cue card? WTH? Why the hell did I go to college? OT he is a smug little jerk, can't stand him or his show.

Wow time flies! It doesn't seem like it's been 9 months since I stopped watching Today.
His eyes in that pic, are like looking into the soulless depths of hell.
No likey.
i have to be at work too early in the am to watch these dreadful morning shows, but i love these "rumors" of giada being a HUGE slutbag...it seems so fitting...

@CodeRed, read below. He's been a ho even when he was engaged to his Victoria's Secret model wife. During the Winter Olympics he was rumored to have been "courting" another anchor, to say it lightly. Just a scum bucket through and through. I was surprised to find out that he was capable of hiring and firing.
Having said that, I've always liked Ann Curry but never thought she was national television material. Still, no one on the Today Show now is remotely interesting, or anyone on AM television for that matter. I wake up to Spongebob on Nickelodeon, lol.
////////////////////////////////////////////
I would too.
ann cury should take over that anchor with the cloud of white hair, Keith Morrison on 48 hours hard evidence or dateline. He's awful. He reports, narrates, or asks questions in this dreadful, morbid low key tone with solemn curiosity, and murky, joyous anticipation for the worst.

also the Asian chick (lol) never said anything but good about him, so why is the media playing with our emotions again and putting the blame on that. Could be a coincidence, could be the media backlash, could be Today improved in area's where GMA had not, could be because Lauer was losing his hair and on Today the anchors are sexier.
don't blame the Asian chick! ;)
strangely, I do think that it had something to do with her nonetheless for the ratings plummet. Housewives are very, very powerful. :D

I edited tons. I thought I was alone at this hour. ;) Her name eluded me when I first posted about her. The Asian chick was what I called her. :) and if the entire demise of NBC was because of her, then
she has great power.
but when I see that dickhead making 25 million, I'd take away his as well for that job, and for getting cockier by the day.

was it all because of him, or did the other network improve over all, while the other network remained cozy at 1st place?
are housewives really that vengeful?
If this is all cuz of Ann Curry, we ought to kneel and bow down to her powers.
this guy made 25 million a year, for a morning anchor. I see why it's a big deal better now.
that sum for any anchor, at any time is crazy. Especially a weekday morning one.
I'm sure he's good at what he does, but 25 million worth for that?

While we're on the subject of anchors, ABC's overnight anchor last show is on tonite, he's getting promoted. This dude and his previous co anchor (also promoted) had the funniest news show on the air. Airing overnite allowed them to be a little loose and they took full advantage of it, this guy is too funny and seems like good people. NBC should try and steal him away, he could definitely carry the Today Show. He is ridiculously funny and he resembles Gumbel a bit too.

Shame on you. You have not honored Lady Propane.
I think Bryant Gumbel was worse. How could you not be a big phony though when you get up at 3am to be on the air, and one second you're talking about hostages and the next interviewing Rebecca Black. Anyone would do coke, have affairs, lie, cheat, and be very glib.

these are the posts I understand or care least about. who cares. who watches those morning talk shoes (typo stays!) i didn't even know about any feud and thought it was done with, when it came up. why keep bringing up these lame boring people. Can't even make fun of them really. ;)
just sucks I guess for the morning talk show host housewives and MK (t-hee) who watch or care about them on weekdays. They're not interesting in the slightest or their ratings and ongoing feuds.
they're not stars or even non stars who are stars. they're morning talk show reporters and hosts.

A long time ago in a galaxy far far away called NBC, there was a news announcer named Matt Lauer who had a full head of hair. Bryant Gumbel, the morning anchor at that time, was such a total asswipe doucheface that he made the news reader Matt look incredible in comparison.
Thus was the birth of Matt Lauer's current position at NBC. So Bryant Gumbel, this is your fault.
So he's throwing the company that writes his checks under the bus???? That's smart!
He married a Victoria's Secret model but cheated on her even when they were engaged and ever since. At least he used to be somewhat handsome but now he's bald, he's not at all... but rich & famous will still bring in all the hos.
My little conspriracy theory is that this story is a plant to hide the real reason he is getting fired; part of a deal to hush up a sexual harrassment (or worse) claim. I can't believe there hasn't been at least one claim against him.
This pic of Lauer will haunt me in my dreams.

Of course no one likes him! He's glib!
I don't like Lauer, but I can't stand Savannah Guthrie. She is void of a personality. Get rid of them both and reboot.
I hate this pansy bitch. Hope he does get fired.

he has a hot body, and fulfills the criteria of older rich man, PLUS hot body.
normally its older rich man, with flabby FOPA.
Lucy♡, already had our Winter term reading break. Yes, we get Good Friday off. I'm still trying to decide whether to do something. You planning on taking some time to

Still not liking Matt on or off the show.

softness1 -- I adore cats & kittens, they are the bomb. As much as I love dogs, I've had them my whole life, it wasn't until I had a cat until I discovered the awesomeness of feline bitchery. Pussy power!
Lucie -- the Dior lipstick is a gorgeous color called "Spring Ball." It is so gorgeous without being too coral, it's just divine. And you should see their sparkly new nail polishes -- OMG, they're beautiful, too.
Withy -- supposedly one time Giada was supposed to be on Rachael's show, and Rachael said, "keep her away from the band before she blows them all." Yeah, Christina is gorgeous. Check out these pictures:

Twatty, ooooh! I'm dying for a warm-toned coral lipstick right now. Which shade did you get? Today I picked up Illamasqua's blush in "Lover", but I resisted Dior Rouge in Blazing Red - I've had my eye on it forever.
Withy♡ do you get a break for Easter?
Twatty, Giada's skanked it up all around town so much even Rachael has weighed in? hahaha Why she'd get on Lauer (or Mayer) is beyond me though, they're much way worse man sluts, imo smdh
A big yes, on Christina, she's in league all her own.

Kittens are not smug????!!!!! I've had cats in every stage of their lives and kittens are smug as shit & they don't work when you want them to. They run ragged then pass out or give u the "bitch please" look and roll their kitten eyes then kick their ass and strut off like fuck you!!!!! I love them. Dogs u can train. Never cats. Even if y think they're nice they sometimes scratch u just because.
I loved when Anne would come on saying Good Morning, Good Morning America, Good Morning Matt, Good Morning Meredith, Good Morning ..Every fucking time they cut away to her. That's all I liked because she was dry. No personality. Meredith needs to come back. Plus Anne was so into Brangeljna that Angelina only got interviewed by her. Wtf!!??
