A morning mixture of news, features and weather, telecast from a Manhattan studio across from Central Park. The launch of `The Early Show' in 1999 marked Bryant Gumbel's return to the morning wars in a ratings battle against his old program, NBC's `Today,' as well as ABC's `Good Morning America.' With the exits of Gumbel, co-anchor Jane Clayson and weathercaster Mark McEwen in October 2002, CBS brought in the foursome of Harry Smith, Julie Chen, Hannah Storm and Rene Syler.
  • Lorena Bobbitt's First Morning Show Interview | Today's Top Videos | 6/26/2008
    Can you believe it's already been fifteen years since scorned wife, Lorena Bobbitt, chopped off her husband John Wayne Bobbitt's little friend while he was sleeping? Now, fifteen years later, the 39-year-old appears to be a much more confident woman (mind you she's barely recognizable) with a whole lot more self-esteem since the days she was all over the tabloids. read more

  • Inside The Early Show's Latest Jump-start | The Biz | 1/4/2008
    CBS' The Early Show has gone through a lot of changes over the years, but it hasn't managed to significantly move the ratings needle against NBC's Today or ABC's Good Morning America. Another attempt to jump-start the program starts Jan. 7, when for the first time since the late 1990s the program will be carried in its entirety by all of the CBS affiliates. There's also a new addition to the anchor team as Maggie Rodriguez moves from the Saturday Early Show to join Harry Smith, Julie Chen, Dave... read more

    CBS News has named Maggie Rodriguez to replace Hannah Storm as coanchor of The Early Show. Rodriguez is getting a shot on the weekday show after impressing CBS News brass with her work as a fill-in and as coanchor of the The Saturday Early Show. "In the past six months, Maggie has proved to be a remarkably good fit in morning news," CBS News president Sean McManus said in a statement. Rodriguez was a veteran of local news in Miami and Los Angeles before joining the network earlier this year.... read more
  • Hannah Storm Is Out at the CBS Early Show | Today's News: Our Take | 11/28/2007
    Hannah Storm is leaving her coanchor chair at CBS' The Early Show. The news division announced today that she will move into a new role at CBS News. A former sports reporter and studio host for NBC, Storm joined The Early Show in 2002, when the program moved to a multi-anchor format. A CBS News spokeswoman had no comment on whether Storm will be replaced. But the talk inside the news division is that execs are high on Maggie Rodriguez, a former Miami news anchor who has been coanchor of The... read more
  • Ask Matt | 9/7/2007
    As a fan of your column, I know you dislike Big Brother, and I won't try to sway your opinion, but I have to say that I've been disappointed by how CBS has handled recent controversies about their reality shows like BB and Kid Nation. Every year I expect one or two contestants to be irksome and display some repugnant behavior, but as I'm sure you've heard, many contestants this season have been either vapid, racist, sexist, abusive or all of the above. Amber made deplorable comments about ... read more

  • Is Price Right for Price Is Right? | Today's News: Our Take | 11/2/2006
    The ink on Bob Barker's letter of resignation is barely dry, and already names are being bandied about for his ultimate successor as host of The Price Is Right. Somewhat fittingly, an early front-runner is The Early Show's Dave Price, who just last week signed a new contract with CBS that calls for him to do unspecified "entertainment-based projects." (Hmm.... ) A CBS rep shrugs off the talk, telling the New York Daily News, "You don't replace a legend overnight. Right now, we're focusing on... read more

  • Press Tour Diary: Day Eight | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 7/20/2004
    With only two days to go, I can finally see the light at the end of the press-tour tunnel. CBS concluded its TCA stint Monday with a panel for Jason Alexander's new sitcom, Listen Up, and a Q&A with four of the original writers from the soon-to-depart Everybody Loves Raymond. There was also a session with Dr. Phil for his upcoming prime-time special, but, well, let's just say I had to miss that due to a "dental emergency." BREAKFAST WITH PAT O'BRIEN9:03 am Dang it.
