• Andrew Lack Back at NBC, Will He Bring Brian Williams with Him?

    We've been talking about the mess that is NBC News for weeks now. Brian Williams embellishment problem and subsequent suspension was just the final straw for the network that has been putting out fires for months now. The Today show has had serious ratings problems since the year that Ann Curry co-anchored and Meet the Press was such a mess that poor David Gregory found himself kicked to the curb as host, on a weekday and with no opportunity to actually say farewell. NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke has decided to woo back Andy Lack, the man who has helped the network through serious scandals in the past.
  • Zelda Williams Tells 'Today' She Has Stopped Questioning Father's Suicide

    It has been six months since Robin Williams chose to end his own life, and finally his daughter is ready to talk to the press. When she sat for an interview with 'Today's' Kate Snow, Zelda Williams knew questions regarding her father's suicide were inevitable, but in order to continue the charity work he began, they were necessary. Williams wanted to bring attention to the Challenged Athlete Foundation, a charity that provides prosthetics to disabled athletes, and in doing so she opened up about her father a bit, saying she has stopped questioning her father's suicide.
  • Katie Couric is Reportedly Interested in Brian Williams' Job at NBC News

    Brian Williams is in a world of trouble over at NBC News and that means that a handful of veteran reporters are wondering if his missteps could provide an opportunity that doesn't come along very often. Williams is currently taking a leave of absence from NBC Nightly News for "misremembering" whether or not he was in a chopper that was hit by RPG fire in 2003. Once the network figures out what else Williams may have inaccurately remembered in his other tales of heroic actions, his fate will be determined. One familiar face just waiting for the opportunity to have a meeting with NBC is none other than Katie Couric.
  • 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.
  • Kathie Lee Ready to Exit 'Today' After NBC Snubs 18-Minute Musical

    Kathie Lee Gifford seems like the kind of woman who is always on the verge of a fight with someone, right? It is not because she is mean, but there is a candidness about her that does not sit well with everyone. Over the years we have heard numerous reports about her feuds with friends and co-workers, but the latest one is a real doozy. Successfully hosting the fourth hour of "Today" is supposed to carry with it certain perks, or at least that was her thinking, but her NBC boss Deborah Turness recently showed Gifford otherwise, leaving the diva furious and getting ready to exit. Gifford has created an 18-minute musical "Not Today and Tomorrow's Not Looking Good Either" that was supposed to air in early December before NBC's live broadcast of "Peter Pan."
  • 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.
