• Natalie Morales Says 'Today' Staffers Not Distracted by Brian Williams Scandal

    Natalie Morales has been a regular fixture for NBC's Today show for nearly a decade now and while the network has been in serious turmoil in recent months, she insists that the morning show cast is all good. While Today has struggled in the number two morning news program position for awhile now, the pressure that once existed is nothing like what employees of NBC Nightly News are now feeling. Ever since Brian Williams was suspended from the program for lying on camera about his experiences in the field, it made any of the issues behind-the-scenes at Today look quite small comparatively.

  • Obama Tells Parents to Vaccinate Their Children

    There are currently 100 cases of measles in the United States, and there is growing concern that this number could rise significantly. Some parents believe childhood vaccines are closely linked to autism and other conditions, so they have opted against immunizing their children, but the reality is that these kids then run the risk of spreading measles to infants who are too young to be immunized. When President Barack Obama sat down for his pre-Super Bowl chat with "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie, immunizations was a topic he was eager to address.

  • Savannah Guthrie Will Interview Obama for Super Bowl Pre-Game, Inks 'Today' 3-Yr. Contract

    Life is pretty good for "Today's" Savannah Guthrie right now. Her first wedding anniversary is right around the corner, she has a 5-month-old daughter at home to keep her on her toes and then there is that morning show gig. Guthrie returned to her co-anchor seat last November and NBC's powers-that-be think she is doing a great job because not only has she inked a new, three-year contract, but they have assigned her to interview President Obama during the Super Bowl pre-game show.

  • Amy Adams Interviewed on Red Carpet by Matt Lauer, Savannah Guthrie After 'Today' Canceled Appearance

    A few weeks ago, Amy Adams made news because her scheduled interview with "The Today Show" was abruptly canceled on the spot as the actress waited in the green room. She was scheduled to promote her latest film, "Big Eyes," on the morning show, and when she did not want to discuss the Sony hacking scandal, then producers informed her that her interview was not going to happen after all. Imagine how awkward it must have been on the red carpet of the Golden Globe Awards when Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer had to interview Adams! Whatever bad blood may have existed was not present when the three chatted. In fact, it all felt friendly, leading us to think that amends must have been made behind the scenes after the scandal grabbed headlines. Harvey Weinstein, the producer of "Big Eyes," was pushing hard for the network to apologize to Adams, and it looks like it must have happened. NBC had wanted the actress to comment on the leaked Sony emails, the one in particular that divulged that she and Jennifer Lawrence had earned significantly less than their male co-stars in "American Hustle." Adams did not want to be part of that dialogue and also mentioned that Bradley Cooper had just done an interview with "Today" and was not asked about Sony, so she felt that it should be fine for her not to be grilled as well. Adams later admitted that she really did not understand what had happened or why on earth her interview had been canceled.

  • Did 'Today's' Matt Lauer Walk Out on Wife, Kids?

    No other news reader seems to be dogged with rumors quite like "Today's" Matt Lauer. His 16-year marriage to Annette Roque has been plagued with rumors of Lauer's continued skirt-chasing and her instability. As it stands now, the couple are parents to three children and are rarely seen out in public together. In fact, there is speculation that Lauer and his wife split for a while this past summer after new allegations of an affair were made. According to a report by Radar Online, Roque and her children spent the summer in the Hamptons, and even though NBC gave Lauer access to a helicopter to get back into the city faster for work, he instead chose to reside in the couple's New York City apartment. At that same point in time, Lauer was allegedly spotted out and about with a woman who was not Roque. Supposedly, the couple took a short break and then Lauer begged to come home for the sake of their kids. Of course, sources close to the morning show anchor claim that his reasons for living alone in the city were completely work-related.

  • NBC's 'Today' in Turmoil: Rumors Circulate Natalie Morales, Willie Geist Have Been Fired, Savannah Guthrie Next?

    The real story of what is going on behind the scenes at NBC's "Today" seems to depend on who you talk to, but one thing is for sure: It is not pretty. On Monday night, Nov. 17, the network confirmed that Jamie Horowitz, who was brought in less than three months ago as the morning show's general manager, had been fired. Horowitz was originally hired to make changes that would help Today climb back to the top of the ratings, but he was met with hostility from nearly everyone when he tried to implement changes. According to a report by Page Six, Matt Lauer found out that Horowitz was gearing up to get rid of Natalie Morales, Willie Geist and even his co-host Savannah Guthrie. Lauer then went to NBC's top brass in protest and had Horowitz fired, proving he really is ultimately in charge of major Today decisions.
