    Today Names Savannah Guthrie New Chief Legal Analyst. This has to be some sort a cruel joke they are playing on their viewers .

  • THE REAL ROYAL KING

    Sorry, I am a bit late this morning. The streets and sidewalks were filled with Republicans running away from Paul Ryan. I’d like to say: Congratulations, Ms. Guthrie. You’re one of the few bright spots on American cable “news”, and I know you’ll do very well in your newest assignment.

    The Democrats’ usual tactics of lying to and scaring seniors worked here .
    You’d think Robert would resent his party ( the party of Cynthia McKinney , Jane Fonda and Joy Behar ) lying to him , but , he’s okay with it .

    So, if she’s the host of the 9am hour of “Today”, does that mean she is going to be giving up her duties as co-host of “Daily Rundown”. I’m assuming that they mean 9am EST, so that must be the case.

    You have to admit that ad with a Ryanesque figure pushing the elderly lady over the cliff and into the lake is magical. Such strong imagery. And with a sound ring of truth.

    I should have added we were having a modest thunderstorm earlier, and the “4″ blowing off all those gasoline price signs, being replaced by “3″ did obstruct vision a bit and slow things further.

    She needs to figure out a way to get hire by FOX so that people know who she is.

    Wait. Doesn’t “Today” pull in close to 6 Million viewers? Isn’t that like 3 times the viewership on FOX “New’s” highest rated programs? You need to work on that snarl a bit, BB.

    The King likes putting ‘esque’ at the end of words. Like when he was going by the name of Reganesque. But it’s okay. He kept insisting ‘this isn’t me!’

  • KirbbDogg2000

    what Happened with Susin Falin. I thought she was the Chef Legal Analyst for NBC. Is there any word on her. Chuck Tood did she that she was leaving Daily Rundown. I think she was the one caring Chuck. It should be interesting to see how the show dose post Savannah. I think Norah O’ Donnel should take savannah’s place on Daily Rundown.

    It better not be Obama because he can’t pronounce worse with corps in them.

  • tegeagent0007

    Savanah will be a great addition to NBC. I thought, that she should have taken Meredith’s place, but I guess they had to give Ann Curry the job out of loyalty.

  • KirbbDogg2000

    It didn’t make sence to give Ann that spot. And why she’s want I have no cule. Only becuase she has dateline. Onless NBC can’s it for Bran Willams new show. I still think it should have gone to Tamron Hall or Amy Roboch. They need and MSNBC needs more younger talet to go up ageast Fox. And has the brain to back up what they say.

    A lot more peole watch the Today show than any cable news channel. The Adult 25-54 audience for Today is about 2.5 Million. The highest rated cable news show is The O’Reilly Factor and that only has an A25-54 audience of about 600,000 to 700,000.
