Show Summary

EDIT

On January 14 1952, The Today Show, a long running morning news program on NBC, went on the air. It aired at 7:00 A.M. (Eastern Time) as a 2-hour news and information show. For many years it was a 2-hour program from 7:00 to 9:00 ET, until NBC expanded it to 3 hours (7-10 A.M. Eastern Time) on October 2, 2000. On September 10, 2007 a fourth hour was added to the show. Today was the first of its genre when it first signed on with host Dave Garroway. The show successfully blends national news headlines, in-depth interviews with newsmakers, lifestyle features, other light news and gimmicks (including the presence of the chimpanzee J. Fred Muggs as the show's mascot during the early years), and local news updates. It has spawned several other shows of a similar type, including ABC's Good Morning America, CBS's The Early Show, and the Canadian series, Canada AM. The show is filmed and produced at studio 1A in Rockefeller Center, New York, just across the street from NBC headquarters at the GE Building. The studio is located right next to the street and many times the hosts do the weather or other events from outside. Today was the brainchild of Pat Weaver, who was then vice-president of NBC. Later, he became president of the company from 1953 to 1955, and then served as chairman of the board for another year. The show is currently hosted by Meredith Viera and Matt Lauer. Al Roker does weather updates and Ann Curry reads news headlines. Gene Shalit is the entertainment critic. Previous hosts have included Bryant Gumbel, Jane Pauley, Deborah Norville, Tom Brokaw, Barbara Walters, Hugh Downs, and Flyod Kalber. Popular former weathercaster Willard Scott still appears on the show daily doing the 100th birthday announcements he first became famous for in the 1980s.moreless

today should be titled yesterday

Your show is BORING! Matt Laur is old news and just irritating he talks to women like they are unintelligent and looks at them like they are meat. You should NEVER have treated Ann Curry the way you did she brought class to your show and style. I loved watching her tell the brought empathy to the interviews. Matt just brings jokes. SHAME ON YOU. SHAME on pompous arrogant MATT. I watch Good Morning America now where they treat one another with respect.moreless

I'm Gone

1.5

By Manne, Apr 29, 2013

I was upset when Ann Curry was treated so shabbily when she was asked to leave the Today Show, but I stayed with the show, even though I do NOT care for Savannah Guthrie. However, Kathy Lee Gifford finished it off for me with her full page newspaper ad and petition supporting Matt Lower,rubbing more salt in to Ann"s wounds . SO folks, from now on, in this household, it will be "Good Morning America"moreless

Over the Years

By Woodstockny, Apr 26, 2013

I've watched the Today Show for many years. It's how I start my day. Loved "Where in the World is Matt Lauer," "The Today Show Throws a Wedding," and hate to miss the opening headlines. I've seen some great hosts come and go. I thought no one could take Bryant Gumbel's place, but I was wrong and have enjoyed Matt Lauer. Hated to see Katie go but Meredith was able to fill that spot without missing a note. I hope the resent problems can be overcome and that you will be on for many more years.moreless

Drinking

9.5

By Ferne4, Apr 24, 2013

Im not against drinking!! But I think when Im watching TV in the morning its crazy to watch Hoda and Cathylee to be drinking at 10 am. Its like that on the Today show. Do you all have drinking problems or what. that you feel you need to drink on TV . Most people when at work are not allowed to drink. So I guess this is social hour!!

Operation Bambi

1.0

By DanWilson9, Apr 19, 2013

First of all I would Love to see Jim Bell be thrown our on his butt. He is about as professional as a three year old, and I wondered who's butt he has his nose stuck up. It is clear that talent was not it. Lauer on the other hand if he was so good the ratings would have bounced back (daah). Once again the Stupidity of Bell shines through. Al Roker would be a much better choice and is the shows only asset. Ann Curry was also a positive attribute to the show but the maroon on top set her up. Another amazing move. Wonder why they have not gotten rid of Bell. After all he isn't the Executive Producer the one who is responsible? He should have been fired after the crap he pulled on Ann Curry. No true Professional would do such things. Bell is far from a professional, and my only regret is I wish I could tell him how i feel face to face because before I finished he would be about an inch tall...moreless
