  1. Billy Bush caught on same mic as Trump. Listen to this: http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/billy-bush-caught-on-same-hot-mic-as-donald-trump/307216
  2. Savannah is having a Boy. I am not surprise as I been saying for a couple months she was having a Boy because of she carrying differently then last time.
  3. She due in December so she is (or about) Six Months along now. Her and Dylan are due at the same time.
  4. I think Savannah having a Boy. She seem to be carrying differently then last time
  5. I tihnk when Robin does leave (which I don't tihnk will be for some time) I tihnk Amy will be her replacement. ABC would be dumb to promote Lara over Amy. Amy seem to be filling in more and more then Lara is. Any ABC/GMA executive who has read Amy book knows that she aspires to be a News Anchor of a Morning Show. It a dream job for her ever since she was at NBC. in 2011 when Meredith leaning towards leaving and Ann be frontrunner to replace her (which would mean a spot would open up on the Third Hour) Amy really wanted that Job on 9am Hour with Al and Natalie (who would take over as News anchor) however it went to Savannah Guthrie instead and she was left disappointed and ind of hurt about the whole thing. She felt like it was her chance to move up fro Weekend TODAY and she writes in the book that she thought it was her and that it should have been her that she deserve it after all those years at NBC. That is when ABC came calling and she decided to leave while the whole Ann Curry thing was going down although it was not publicly known. she knew she was not going to get the job
  6. There never been rumors about Matt and Savannah having a affair. There been rumors of Matt having affair with Amy Robach and Natalie Morales (And Meredith Vieira) but they are definitely all false but that not to say Matt never had a affair outside of work.. Although there are high rankings NBC Executives who do bivalve that Matt and Natalie did at one time have an affair(From the Morning Show Book) but I do not believe it. Allegedly Savannah met her First Husband Mark Orchard while he was still married to someone else and he Divorced his First wife to marry Savannah.
  7. we will probably be stuck with Tamron Hall now when Savanna goes on Maternity Leave! Natalie will be in Los Angeles by then. Hopefully they have Hoda filling in most weeks during those 3 Months and Tamron only fills in occasionally.
  8. Congrats to Savannah! Very true at her age you have to really count your blessings to give birth to 2 Children over age 41. Some women can never have any Children. Hoping and Praying for a healthy Child! I understand her not going to Rio. It better to be Safe then not.
  9. Interesting article in InTouch Magazine about why Natalie is really going west! Apparently at one point met with ABC Executives about possibly joining ABC. There were reports back in late 2014 about Tension between Natalie and Tamron. http://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/natalie-morales-today-nbc-101761
  10. Okay fine however Natalie said this morning her and her family had been talking about moving to the west coast for some time now and her contract was up in November and that was definitely the opportunity Natalie was gong to use to move out west however NBC obviously wanted to keep her so they offered her this new role. At the end of the day it a win-win all around and a tremendous opportunity. It keep her in the fold witihn NBC wider family and also still has her appearing on TODAY and Dateline. As I said above she ends up getting a better deal then Ann even so Ann was pushed out of course.
  11. No they couldn't Her Contract expire this year and if she didn't want to move West and that what they telling her to do she would not have renew it. They couldn't force her to go out west and be anchor there against her will. Natalie and her Family been talking about to move to California for some time. She said that this morning.
  12. I wish some people (on Facebook and Twitter) would get facts straight and not assume Natalie was fired or forced to move! They wouldn't have forced her to pack up her family and move across the country It was her and her Family decision to move to California for whatever reasons we don't know. She planning to for some time. Her Husband could have gotten a New Job out in L.A. for all we know. Her Father in Law lives in Denver and so they will now be closer. Her Mother in Law does from Alzheimer's two years ago They obviously still wanted her as she will still be around out West and will still do Dateline and do Access Hollywood. She will still be part of the more extended NBC Family. Her contract expires in November and likely she was planning not to renew and at same time her Husband got a New job in L.A and while she probably I am sure respect er boss's for doing what they is best or right for TODAY Show and making changes probably saw the writing on the wall and didn't like that her role as News-anchor had been diminished in the last year but Natalie is not type to make a stink about ti and kept it to her self. And so NBC wanted to keep her in the Family so they offered her the West Coast Anchor role (covering west coast News) and Host of Access Hollywood and Access Hollywood Live while she continues to do dateline. When you tihnk about it at the end of the day she got a better deal then Ann Curry! Even so Natalie was not pushed out. I am still a little skeptical but we will have to wait and see. While I am glad she there going to be there I am going to miss her presence in Studio 1A with everyone else. Congrats to Natalie on her new role! Going from NYC to L.A. really is going to be a lifestyle change! It a whole different city with a differnet tormentor and is slower paced. It probably better health wise. You going from a High Rise City to a Sprawling Metropolis that is pretty much warm all year round.. Natalie will probably end up loving it there I tihnk because of the sun and beaches. Glad her kids are happy about the move as most Kids don't like moving and going to a whole new school leaving behind all their friends.
  13. True I do agree. I really like Natalie. Although Natalie had been planning to move to California for several months now. at the end of the day we don't know why Natalie really is moving out west, there could be many reasons. her husband may have gotten a New Job in L.A. Also her Mother In Law died 2 years ago form Alzheimer's and Her Father in Law lives n Denver so they be closer to him now.
  14. Brian Stelter on Twitter said there will be no replacement for Natalie. they are getting rid of the News anchor position completely. That doesn't surprise me because she no longer does the news in the 7am Hour and sometimes she not in that hour at all! Matt and Savannah will now read headlines It obvious to anyone who watches TODAY Show nowadays that they are phasing that out. And I am pretty skeptical about her so called new West Coast anchor Job. That just a fancy title at the end of the day kind of like what they did with Ann Curry and they lied about Ann at the end of the day. After she left Ann never appeared on TODAY Show (aside om the one day in London for like 5 Minutes) again.
  15. There will be no replacement for Natalie on TODAY. they are getting rid of the News anchor role completely
  16. So the story is she not leaving TODAY completely but will still be on the show as it West Coast anchor. How is that going to work? NBC must really want to keep her with this deal. Apparently she been planning to move to California for some time. But I can't say I didn't see something like this coming.. Her role in the 7am Hour has diminished greatly over the last year.
  17. Natalie been named Host of Access Hollywood and West Coast anchor of TODAY. Memo from NBC inside the article: http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/natalie-morales-named-host-of-access-hollywood-west-coast-anchor-for-today/292844
  18. Why couldn't Natalie do both? If this is true and Tamron replace Natalie I won't watch TODAY Show anymore. I hope it not but Natalie hasn't gotten the respect she deserve I feel like in last couple years. Kelly Ripa has a good point. There need to be more respect in the workplace and consideration all around but they do work in two different part of the TV World
  19. They found out after the show on Tuesday not before
  20. Gelman did not know for Months. He found out on Tuesday Morning after the show with Kelly
  21. This has gotten a bit ugly. I do tihnk Disney could have handled it better. Michael has a right to make a job change of course if he want. Kelly allowed to be mad if she want to be and same with Gelman. Disney has a right to negotiate contracts and make changes to shows but but as I understand that now how you do things in showbiz the way Disney went about things. as I understand even some top ABC executives had no idea about any of this until way recently. I don't tihnk Kelly mad Michael leaving LIVE! but is mad now things was handled but she should show and be an adult. Michael should have told Gelman (I know they didn't have a good relationship but till) several months ago when talks started that he was thinking about waving LIVE! as Executive Producer Gelman had a right to know about any changes being made that effected his show form the get go. He should have been in the loop all along. Kelly should have been told a couple weeks ago before she left for Spring Break. I tihnk part of her is mad because Michael said LIVE would always be his main home. But opinions can change
  22. Apparently Kelly didn't show up to work today because she very Angry. But at who> How about just be a adult and show up to work? If I recall Regis didn't tell her ahead of time that he was leaving but yet she showed up the next day. There words that ABC could be planning a Third Hour of GMA and so Disney would cut LIVE! a few years short and kelly Contract expired in 2020 and so she was probably only yesterday told of this plan. There is more to this story I feel
  23. I knew Lester was a front runner at one tie but for some reason I thought David Gregory wa for awhile? It seem like during Ann year (And maybe Meredith last year?) as co-anchor and Savannah First Year David was. But at one time there was talk that Gregory could take over for Matt. Lester was a front runner at one time you are right about that. It was during the last few years that Katie Couric was the show and during Meredith time that Lester was front runner but over the last several years he came to be considered the front runner to replace Brian Williams on Nightly News more then being thought as Matt main successor. In fact during Savannah first year David Gregory filled in more then Lester. David wasn't very good on MTP to be honest (although he better then Chuck I will say) but he was very good on TODAY Show I always thought. I do agree Lester always did a good job when he filled in. He work great with Katie, Meredith and Ann.
  24. TODAY Show won last week in both Total Viewers and Demo for first time since June 2012: http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/after-4-years-in-2nd-place-nbcs-today-show-retakes-the-morning-show-lead/289051
