The Jenna Wolfe/Lester Holt/Amy Robach Chronicles
Did a short stint in a "facility" I'm back to new now. In my absence, there seems to be some trouble brewing on NBC's Weekend Today. For the past few months the always exciting Lester Holt has been sharing duties with two women, the aforementioned Amy Robach and Jenna Wolfe. It was Robach who seemed to inherit the job from the lovely Campbell Brown. Slowly but surely Jenna Wolfe has been making her presence known. In a frankly head-scratching move, NBC split the weekend co-anchoring slot between Robach and Wolfe. Lester Bolt, I mean, Lester (It's late I can't spell) has some thinking to do. Or I can do it for him, mwah, hah hoo hah....
Amy Robach- Robach is the solid choice. She's experience (no typo) and she reads the news without any trouble at all. Robach and Holt seem to have pleasant camaraderie. It's nothing like when Lester had with Campbell Brown, but it's cordial enough for both outside food segments and noting the passing of foreign dignitaries.
Grade C+
More Junk: Oddly enough, this past weekend Robach didn't do herself any favors with a eyelid shutting piece on food and stuff at baseball stadiums. Who did she take with her? Her husband. Wow wee! That's thrilling!
Jenna Wolfe-In the name of fair non-journalism, I should recuse myself from this conversation, I've developed a crush on Young Jenna. She's just odd cute and odd. Her chemistry with Lester Holt is so weird, it makes the show that much more watchable. But of course there's a problem. For some reason, Jenna doesn't seem to be a fave of a few people and those people have been contacted and they'll be singing a different tune soon enough.
Part 2: In a hilarious segment Jenna was interviewing some woman who was like lost in the wilderness or something. After the woman was near tears Jenna took a hard break, like she didn't even give a hoot. Now that's comedy!
My Favorite News Team: I wonder what former Pop Culture Idiot editor thinks about this. I bet he calls Saturdays with Amy "easy days" and on the night before Sunday, he has to steel himself in case Jenna's extra abrupt and whiny. Those, are the best days.

Jenna annoys me more than anyone else....I think it's her voice...or her whole "look at me! look at me!" routine...I dunno...all I know is that she seems so out of place for a infotainment program-and especially a morning one. she should go.
That's cold Rob heh heh. I enjoy her because she's annoying. There's a clip of her on YouTube visiting the American Gladiators, not annoying at all, Yeah right. Ha!
Slowly but surely Jenna Wolfe has been making her presence known
I don't knwo what it is about her, but I can't stand Jenna Wolfe. She's marginally cute enough, but that's overridden by her excessive perkiness. I've had to switch to CBS now.
You know who they should get? Former MSNBC anchor Chris Jansing.
That perkiness does seem to be increasing, as is Lester Holt's barely concealed dismay. CBS? Oh no, reconsider please? Heh heh... I've going to have to check
out Chris Jansing.
i don't like jenna wolfe, she seems like a bitch just watching her on tv. the others i love and am used to. they are funny and cute or handsome or loveable she does not have any of these qualities!!! i really wish she wasn't on during the week at all BLAH!!!!!
Heh heh. I do have to say Lester Wolfe, (Wolfe, wow, it's early) Lester Holt seems to be so happy when Amy Robach's there. When Jenna's there, not the same. Maybe it's because Jenna cuts Lester off a lot. His grimaces/facial expressions during Jenna's days are hilarious.
I hope the folks from NBC come to this board. I cannot stand Jenna Wolfe!!!! The best team they had on Weekend Today was Soledad O'Brien and the late David Bloom. They has such great chemistry! NBC, GET RID OF JENNA!!! You are going to lose me as a viewer. As it is, I do not give my full attention to the show on Sundays. Give the entire weekend spot to Amy and Lester! She is so much more watchable and likeable!
Everybody Loves Jenna, ha! Yeah Soledad O' Brien and David Bloom were great. I've caught Amy and Lester on a few weekday broadcasts and they were really good. I wasn't Amy's biggest fan but I actually kind of like her now.
Edited, really edited by JE.
W's on screen narcissism isn't too far from her off screen persona. Let's forget her inept annoying reporting techniques (or lack thereof). Let's talk integrity and what it means to major network...
My husband and I both continuously roll eyes when it's Sunday and Jenna time. We feel for Lester. Yes, it is her voice, but we've also noticed that whenever she talks about a subject where one actually needs knowledge, she struggles, waves and wrings her hands and her voice becomes even more annoying. What were they thinking?? I was certain she'd be gone by now. Or does she know someone who knows someone?! Amy Robach has really improved her game, I'm fine with her now but please someone remove this annoying and most of all painfully clueless person Jenna Wolfe.
Hee hee@Jenna time. Lester isn't looking any less exasperated is he? In fact he looks more peeved, if that's possible. I thought Les (Les, ha!) and Jenna would have worked out more chemistry, but I think the reverse is true.
On the other hand, Amy has gotten better. She was irritating at first but even I like her now--and that's really something. I like few people, heh heh...
