It's usually Bill and Lauren tho according to Bill's twitter his brother has been ill.

My predication is Hoda will become a co-anchor of Today. QUOTE="TVNewsJunkie15, post: 197184, member: 2965"]TODAY Show won another week in the rating and the first full week without Matt http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/without-matt-lauer-today-show-wins-back-to-back-weeks/351744

Shirleen anchor the whole special report solo?

I hear you. Who would have thought the person who hosted the Today Show for the longest period of time might not be at the 70th anniversary show because they aren't invited? That's likely to be the case unless a major backlash to the #metoo movement happens which I sure hope isn't the case nor do I think it will be the case. I do think Katie was more popular. Katie will be there presuming she is alive which I surely hope and think she will be. I think it will be mentioned how Matt was the co-host for over 20 years and how he was fired. Frank died in 1974 at the age of 52 so he most certainly won't be there. Barbara will be 92 and a few years ago had heart surgery so i'm not sure if she's still alive then if she will be well enough to attend tho I sure hope that she is. Jim will be 81 which isn't terribly old tho not terribly young either tho I hope and expect he will be there. Tom will also be 81 and hopefully alive and well. Bryant will be 73 and he also had cancer a few years back tho I believe he's been cancer free for a number of years. Hugh Downs will be 100 and my understanding has been in good health expect for a knee operation many years ago so i'm not sure if he will be there tho I hope he is. Jane will be 71 and I hope and expect that she will be there. Deborah will be 63 and I hope and expect she will be there despite her rocky tenure at the Today Show. Meredith will be 68 and I surely hope and expect she will be there. Ann will be 64 and I think despite the issues she's at with the Today Show she will be there since Matt won't likely be there and let's not forget that Ann was on the Today show for 15 years much longer then her brief stint as co-host. Al will be 67 and let's not forget that he had some serious health issues over the years tho he seems to be doing okay nowadays. John Palmer passed away in 2013 at the age of 77. Willard Scott will be 87 and he's also had some serious health issues over the years I believe. Gene Shalit will be 95 and i'm not sure about his health. Chris Wallace will be 74. Margaret Larson will be 63. Faith Daniels will be 64. Savannah Guthrie will be 50. Hoda Kotb will be 57. Kathie Lee Gifford will be 68. Megan Kelly will be 52. Natalie Morales will be 49. I don't know how old Bob Ryan will be tho he must be on the older side. Estelle Parsons will be 94. Lee Meriwether will be 86. The rest of the Today Girls I believe are deceased.

I also wonder why Chuck Todd never filled in on the Today Show. He seems like he could do well in that format. I guess that's the reason why.

David Gregory. He was at one point in time the heir apparent to Matt Lauer it seemed like. I would sure hope not David Bloom tho if he had lived I think he would have had a very successful career ahead of him. I wonder who's going to be around for the 70th Anniversary show. Matt Lauer I doubt will be invited, who knows what will happen with Bryant Gumbel. Tom Brokaw has cancer and will be 81, Jim Hartz will be 81, Barbara Walters will be 91 and Hugh Downs will be 100!

Not to be a CT person tho does anyone think it's possible that Matt Lauer played a role in what happened to David Bloom?

Today was a major day in broadcasting history and sadly far too people even realize that let alone appreciate it. The start of a new anchor on a evening news broadcast doesn't happen every day.

Maybe Katie Couric can join the team.

Dave Davis is the General Manager. He may also need to be fired. Supposedly he sexually harassed Lori Stokes. Sarah Wallace was likely fired cause she was older. I don't know about possible tampering in a case. Lisa Colagrossi was overworked I believe and her mother supposedly blames Camille Edwards in part for her daugther's death. Perhaps she or Lisa's widower will bring a lawsuit against WABC. Which discrimination complaints are we talking about? Laura Behnke and who else? What happened with Jim Dolan? Right. I wonder what's going on with Sade.

I wonder if we will see Laura Behnke on air again. Additionally I can now see why Lori Stokes did not leave WABC on good terms. Finally Michele Charlsworth publicly said she wanted the morning job. I wonder if more to that story exists that we might hear about soon.

Any thoughts on who might take over for Charlie Rose on CBS This Morning?

Anyone know why Sade isn't back yet and when she should return?

When does Jeff Glor start?

You might see Rosanna back on evenings within a year.

Maybe. I read an article about 4 years ago that Ann Curry was furious with Andy Lack back in 1993 that he choose Brian Williams over her to anchor the Saturday Nightly News when the late Garrick Utley was pushed out. If Ann got the job she might have been anchor of NBC Nightly News right now.

Maybe they will bring Katie Couric back.

http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/les-moonves-on-cbs-evening-news-were-talking-about-what-were-going-to-do-for-the-future/342270 My guess now is that an outsider will get the job.

I'd like to see someone take over for Brian Williams on the 11th hour.

Gus Rosendale keeps getting passed over. I presume we might see Adam Kuperstein anchoring weekday newscasts in the coming years.

Norah, Maurice DuBois and Anderson are all serious possibilities I think tho my guess is it will go to Norah.

I think the hope is that whoever NBC bring over will be a success tho they are okay with it not if it takes away from another network. I think they hope that Megan Kelly will be a ratings draw tho more then likely she won't and I would guess by the end of December she will either be out or on her way out and no one including Megan Kelly will be terribly surprised.

Anyone know why Erica was out for a few weeks last month?

David used to take off at noon to fill in for Chuck at 11. Stefan is likely being groomed to replace Chuck when he retires.

Any idea what happened to Bill Ritter? He's been out a while it seems like. I would normally say it's for a vacation however it's usual for an anchorperson to be on vacation right after a new president takes office.
