Argh, tell me this isn't true. Reportedly Katie Couric just might be leaving the Today show for the CBS network anchor job. Say it isn't so! As pictured is Katie, Matt, Al and Ann, the names moronicly sung on that long-gone promo. I'll be devastated if any member of this stellar lineup leaves to "explore other opportunities." In any event, these are the people who could replace Couric.
Getting to see Campbell Brown on a regular basis isn't going to hurt anything. She's hot, smart as a whip and actually enjoyable to watch. Brown is presently the co-host of Weekend Today which is also known as "The Today My Local Affiliate Doesn't Ever Play."
If Brown is picked, Les Holt will be unable to perform his duties and will turn to stone.
Meredith Vieira-- Doesn't this make perfect sense--and talk about picking up where you left off. In recent years, Couric has become annoying. Good news, Meredith Viera has always been annoying--but she's actually interesting.Pro: Of course if Vieira takes the Today show gig, she'll leave that pitiable insane asylum known as the View. Talk about an upgrade. Getting a solid, truly news based job and getting to leave Star Jones and Elisabeth Hasselback. Thinking about that makes me "excited."
Bob Schieffer- For years, Schieffer has connected with viewers with his life as a single mom. An especially sharing correspondent, we've seen Schieffer deliver children, battle alcoholism and of course do reports from Mars. For the Today Show, I think he's be a perfect fit.
Well there's an obvious choice. Ann Curry's seemingly been in line for this gig since David Hartman was on GMA. Here's a question? What's the hold up? She's been more talented than Couric, since forever and why this move wasn't made 4 or 5 years ago--is beyond me.The Bad News: The move hasn't been made in all of these years. Not cool. According to a rumor Couric and Curry aren't buds and she doesn't want Curry to get the job.
Annoying...

what about Kathie Lee Gifford? Hasn't TV become a barren wasteland of interchangable blondes ever since she left Regis? I, for one, still have dreams where she's back where she belongs, squawking about one random, pointless, irrelevant story after another. Oh, Kathie Lee, where for art thou?
Donny, you know I wish we could have Kathie Lee on a more permanent basis too. Sadly I think her general Kathie Lee-ness prevents her from being in the running--so far.
The last time I saw Kathie Lee she was on Pat O' Brian's Trainwreck, the Insider. I've got to see more of Kathie Lee than that heh heh...
I wish Kathie Lee would make a comeback to daytime tv. Oh, the joy!
Couric is more than grating. I don't know what people find so appealing about her.
Her exterior seems to more and more gruff every year.
I think she might be a good fit for CBS. That network is dullsville to me.
Shawn, you know having Kathie Lee on daytime TV might not be far off. It would be funny seeing her with Regis again, well if funny means soul numbing and a bit frightening. I do think Regis and Kelly are runnning out of road though, they clearly are having problems.
Got to agree about CBS, I think it enjoys its dullness at this point. Their morning show is insane, they've got like 15 people on there.
Jason! I love Meredith! If you want to know who is annoying, check out my list:

Me too Rob. I was watching The View earlier today and thinking that it's kind of a waste of skills hearing her talk about Star Jones's boobs LOL
