Savannah Guthrie Now TOP BILLED At The Today Show

Have we talked about how her face looks like it's made up of parts from many different faces? At the very least, I think she's earned that honor.

God no. What a smarmy bitch. Lauer should take her with him!!!!

The only person more vile and disgusting than those two are the makeup people at the today show, responsible for her smokey eyes.

The only way she will lose top billing is if Matt replacement is a HUGE name in the industry like Dan Rather. Not saying he is going to replace Matt, but if someone of Dan's stature get the job as co-host, Savannah will go back to second billing.

But if the replacement is someone in-house, she will remain top billed until she leave.

Jane Pauley was the last female TODAY host I liked.

Not this Guthrie bee-otch.

Won't watch TODAY with her in charge.

"The Today Show, with Larry King and Savannah Guthrie."

Savannah Guthrie. What an idiotic name. It sounds like something that Jacqueline Susann or Jackie Collins would have concocted for one of their novels.

Who’s going to replace Lauer? I heard Anderson is among the names floating around, but I pray to the sweet baby Jesus in heaven that it’s just a rumor.

AC would have to give up being on 60 Minutes and he would never do that.

AC was dull as dishwater on his own talk show. So, please no.

TODAY with Jane Pauley and Savannah Guthrie.

That would be great.

"This is Today. With Pepe le Pew And Savannah Guthrie."

I love Savannah. Good for her

Just as an aside - back in the day when Jane Pauley was co-hosting with Bryant Gumbal - he was rumored to be a prize asshole. Like, a really nasty piece of work.

Don’t know if there was anything sexual involved. But he certainly was a bully and not liked. And he faded from view pretty quickly after the gig there ended, unlamented.

Do you think any historical allegations may surface?

Guthrie is very ambitious. I saw it from the first time she was waiting in the wings while poor Ann Curry was getting fired most likely because of Matt Lauer. Haven't watched the show since.

Won't they just but Megyn Kelly in his spot?

^put

r14 hell yeah she is and Matt is the one who hand picked her to replace Anne. Matt wanted Savannah, not Ann, so he got rid of Ann.

Savannah also has skeletons in her closet. Her first husband was married. She broke up their marriage and took that man, without batting an eye.

Bitch will cut you when you least expect it.

Every time I hear the name Savannah Guthrie, I think Corky Sherwood.

I think NBC is going to use this as an opportunity to dump Savannah and replace her with Megyn Kelly.

As R17 says, Savannah is tainted, too, so now is the opportunity to clean house and wipe away memories of Matt Laurer.

I hate her last name, just say Savannah G.

Savannah's great. Don't nobody mess with my Savannah!

r19 I doubt it. She’s an NBC dariling child.

Who watches this shit, shut-ins and tards?

R22, she was a darling because the dirty laundry was being suppressed.

There have been many stories, in fact Gumbels pet name for Pauley was a four letter word that begins with the letter "C". There was an entire books written about Gumbel behavior, I have it at home but I don't remember the title off hand. But was written by a former Today show staffer

Bring back Katie!

Fuck Katie "Gummy Jaws" Couric!!!

r26 oh god no!

NPR has a nearly all woman staff of broadcasters. Most voices I hear now on NPR are female. Prediction — same will happen with TV. Another prediction — salariesamd prestige will plummet.

Gumbel and Lauer are two of the smarmiest men to appear on television. What a legacy for the Today Show.

Back in the day, we gals knew to keep the hems of our skirts at a modest length. The only improper groping we encountered was from that goddam chimp.

I'm available!

Us too!

We abhor one another!

R19 If they honestly want to show to hit rock bottom, they'll slide Megyn in, but I don't think they can be that stupid.

Can they be?

Savannah makes perfect bms

I can't see Anderson moving to "Today," but he strikes me as the natural replacement for Charlie Rose at CBS. He already has that CBS connection with "60 Minutes." And it's supposedly a more serious, news oriented morning show, which would be right for him.

Brian WIlliams has served his time in purgatory. He should get the gig.

Anderson is incapable of chiseling the cum out of his eye sockets before noon.

what's Lisa Ling doing?

Brian Williams makes sense. But I loathe that he’s back in any capacity.

I heard DL fave Andy Cohen is a front runner for Lauer's spot, since he's already NBC family.

Savanna Guthrie first came to my attention when she was filing reports for the NBC nightly news with Brian Williams. I liked her a lot then, but since I don't watch the today show, or any morning news program, I haven't really seen her lately

This cunt again?

R42 I'd like to know who you heard that from....Andy "Housewives" Cohen, absolutley not.

Lester Holt's son use to be the morning tv guy here in Chicago. I believe He made the move to NYC. He was suave, and fresh. He could fill the empty chair.

He's the 11 o'clock anchor on the local NBC affiliate in New York

It'll be Brian Williams for sure.

Word on the street is that Andy Cohen will become the new host of Today.

Willie Geist could barely contain his glee on Morning Joe when the story broke. He probably thinks he's in the running for Matt's spot. He said, "Matt's a friend, but this is serious stuff."

The head of NBC news loves Joe Scarborough, so he could be Matt's replacement.

r49 please NO!!!!!!

I predict Willie. He's a safe choice and, right now, NBC needs safe.

R42

They should replace Matt with Chuck Woolery.

Gilbert Gottfried would be an interesting choice.

They might just drop billing all together and just have the announcer say "This is The Today Show"

Willie would be a safe choice, but I'd like to see Thomas Roberts on the show. He's personable and would make the show a bit more news worthy. And he's easy on the eyes too.

They need an ex-football player like Good Morning America has

Not so sure about Brian. His MSNBC contract stipulates that he never has to interact with, or even utter the name of, Lester Holt. I imagine that would be awfully hard to avoid on the Today Show.

Is Wink Martindale available?

[quote]They need an ex-football player like Good Morning America has

They already have an ex-football player's widow.

This morning there was no naming of any host. They've dropped that part, apparently.

Surely R42 and R49 are joking. I just cannot see them giving it to someone as silly as Cohen. Can you imagine him interviewing world leaders? Matt Lauer was no Walter Cronkite, but Cohen? No way.

R58 This Thomas Roberts?

Ann Curry and Tamron Hall.

Sugar and Spice

The days of network news "stars" is over. Just look at the network evening newscasts -- all three are anchored by nobodies who can't compare to the names of the past: Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, Peter Jennings, etc. I'm sure Matt will be replaced by some completely inoffensive bland guy, or a rotating "team" of interchangeable hosts.

How the hell does the charisma free Carson Daley have a spot on that show?

She is looking too thin and wrinkled and that dark eye shadow is doing her no favors

It will either be Willie Geist or Craig Melvin, and I'm betting on the latter.

Bring back J. Fred Muggs

I'm available!

Savannah is not going to let you bully her over her dress.

Where is Regis anyway> he seems to have completely disappeared

Maybe it's because females nowadays enhance their lips to the point where they resemble sex dolls, but I find the fact she has no upper lip disturbing.

Savannah Guthrie is perfect in her role as host on the Today Show. She's smart and talented. When the story or interview demands, she asks serious-minded questions and can offer shrewd analysis. She's well-educated. Guthrie transitions well to the fluff pieces. She's charming. Hoda Kotb can also be a serious-minded journalist when needed, and she can segway easily to lighter pieces on the show. The Today Show has a winning combination with the two.

Segway? Oh, dear.
