keelhaul-80856 The hosts are just boring, and tired. Al and Matt are not funny or interesting either, and now Al looks like a shriveled raisin compared to his former self. They are like cardboard cutouts that could have been supplied from anywhere, with very little actual substance. The best part of the show over the years is when Ann went through that awkward leaving episode with the cast, who barely wanted to touch her, and stuff like the Tom Cruise meltdown on Matt! "Have you studied this issue like I have Matt??!?!?!" Or the weird coma shutdown Al has in youtube videos when someone mentions God or the Holy Ghost. LOL. These are some of the most boring, one-dimensional hosts ever, and you can tell that some of them just hate each other, are doing talking points given out by their overlords, are being rushed, have little worthy news, and have the personality of a cashier at Burger King, in reality.

rasherer I'm not sure where you got your data about cast members, but someone needs to check it with NBC. Dave Garroway, the original host of Today, appeared on at least 2000 episodes during the first nine years of the run -- 5 days a week for at least 48 weeks a year for nine years -- but you credited him with 3 episodes. Jack Lesculie was an everyday regular on the show for at least 3 years in the beginning. To credit these men with fewer appearances than J. Fred Muggs, a chimpanzee who appeared on the show during that era, is an insult to their memory -- particularly since Muggs was biting them all the time! In those days, the program was live, so the human performers had to be careful how they reacted. Seriously, this was one of the most important programs in the early days of television, thanks largely to the work of Garroway, Pat Weaver and newscaster Frank Blair. It trained people to get up in the mornings and turn on their sets -- a habit we've continued to practice for more than half a century!

Syl I have to admit it that I don't watch the Today show. I prefer the Imus show on MSNBC because I feel like it's real, candid, and authentic with great guests. I have stopped watching morning shows like Today because I can't stand the pretentious and falseness. Everybody appears a little too happy for me especially in the morning if you are not a morning person like myself. I am happy for Meredith Viera because she probably felt like she was saving from the Titanic or the The View as it's called so she seems so much happier now. but for NBC to ditch daytime soaps like Passions and Another World is ridiculous. The Today Show is becoming more and more like cable television. We don't need four hours of the Today Show. We do need shows like Passions though. It's a well-known fact that NBC has wanted to ditch the soaps for a long time. The only problem now is Days of Our Lives which has a strong fan base that will do anything to keep it on the air. Anyway, NBC is going in the toilet faster than the View. remember when there was Saturday morning cartoons for kids and television programming for teens with shows like Saved by the Bell. Sorry, the Today Show for 2 hours is too much and four is just awful.
