Getty Images Meredith Vieira turned a great shade of red on a Today show segment this morning when Al Roker played a clip from last night's Jay Leno Show , in which the comedian made it look like Meredith had a former stint on Naked News . The clip shows a young Meredith's head plastered on a blurred-out naked body as she broadcasts. Meredith hadn't seen the video yet, so she was pretty taken aback by the whole charade. She was a great sport though, and said in between fits of laughter, "It... Read Full Story

Quite some fuss being made over the “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” clip currently getting lots of play on YouTube in which Meredith Vieira refers to herself as a “horny old woman” as she blatantly flirts with a Naval officer contestant.
It’s no big deal, assures Vieira. The clip might seem new, she notes, but the fact is it came from an episode of the game show that shot some seven years ago, and has now, she figures, been rerun on the Game Show Network.
She’s hardly upset about the... Read Full Story

Every year the Today Show goes all out for Halloween. I’m fairly certain at least 30% of their annual budget must go to this effort. This year, the theme was “Star Wars” and they even worked with George Lucas to make sure the costumes were done right. I saw a couple minutes of the prep work this morning and it looked daunting, to say the least. There were a lot of complaints about how hot and uncomfortable everyone was. Needless to say, I didn’t envy them. But the costumes looked good, and... Read Full Story
All week long, NBC's Today anchors have been pulling pranks for a segment called " Today Gets A Laugh." But the biggest joke of the series was on them. America's number-one morning team recently gathered for a photo shoot they believed was a TV Guide Magazine cover celebrating their selection as "The Greatest Television Cast of All Time." A reasonable honor, right? "That didn't make sense to me," says Meredith Vieira in hindsight. "But then ego takes over." When they arrived at the shoot... Read Full Story
The Today show “news” cast is basically made up of people who more or less resemble your Dad’s “friends he knows from work” that make jokes that don’t make any sense and laugh at inappropriate times. This is not a criticism. I can’t think of too many people who are unhappy that Al Roker exists. Even Matt Lauer, for some reason no one really understands, seems useful. If your idea of morning news is hearing about what Tiffany Amber Theissen likes to bake her dogs for Christmas, or that a... Read Full Story
Meredith Vieira put her foot in her mouth Monday morning on the Today show by asking about Matt Lauer's marriage. It seems Lauer has a hard time staying married, and the subject is supposed to be "off limits" while on air. Introducing a segment on the "right age to get married," Vieira said, "I got married in my 30s, when did you get married?" Lauer, who married TV producer Nancy Alspaugh when he was in his early twenties, was divorced seven years later. Lauer stumbled, fumbled for words... Read Full Story
A flip off his bicycle took "Today" show co-host Matt Lauer off the air Monday with a shoulder injury. Lauer, 51, was riding his bicycle this weekend when a deer jumped into his path. He flipped over the bike's handlebars and was slightly hurt, NBC said. "Today" show publicist Megan Kopf said Lauer separated his shoulder and was scheduled to have surgery Monday. "He's doing well, and we hope to have him back on `Today' later this week," Kopf said in an e-mail. Lauer's broadcast partner... Read Full Story
Matt Lauer, Meredith Viera and Al Roker, "The Today Show," image by Getty Images via Daylife I’m a little worried about Matt Lauer and Meredith Viera this morning because it’s 8:40 a.m. on a Wednesday morning and my guests are two of the producers of NBC’s “ Today Show .” Who will be whispering in Matt’s ear when it’s time to throw it to Al Roker ? How will Meredith Viera know to cut short the cooking demonstration and go to commercial? Ann Curry? I suspect she can manage on her own, right... Read Full Story
