This venerable morning show is TV's longest-running daytime series and was the brainchild (one of many) of Sylvester `Pat' Weaver, an NBC programming visionary who understood that viewers starting their day wanted their news and lifestyle features in brief, quick-to-digest segments. It debuted in January 1952 and has been a springboard for some of the medium's marquee personalities, including Dave Garroway (its first host), Barbara Walters, Bryant Gumbel, Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric.

  • Luke Russert: Obama Statement Was "Dumb" | Today's News: Our Take | 9/25/2008
    Newbie NBC News reporter Luke Russert took to the blogosphere Wednesday afternoon to right what he called a "dumb" misstatement he made regarding Barack Obama and students at the University of Virginia on the Today show.According to The Associated Press, Russert, son of late Meet the Press host Tim Russert, reported on campaign activity at UVA, then followed his report with a live conversation with Matt Lauer. In that conversation, Russert said, "The smartest kids in the state go there so it is leaning a little bit toward Obama."Russert took abuse on the Web for his doubly insulting statement, which could either imply that the students at other Virginia schools aren't as smart or that only less intelligent people would not support Obama. Tim Graham of the conservative Media Research Center said Russert was an "untrained reporter" who represents the "unspoken beliefs of the liberal media" on the NewsBusters blog.Russert responded via his own blog to say that he misspoke and "made... read more be the first to leave a comment
  • Lynne Spears on How She "Lost Control" Over Britney | Today's News: Our Take | 9/17/2008
    Lynne Spears appeared exclusively on Today to publicize her new book on raising her star daughters Britney and Jamie Lynn in the spotlight.The book, aptly titled, Through The Storm — A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World, was supposed to be a book about poetry and memories. That was five years ago, before Britney's failed marriages, custody battle, public breakdowns and Jamie Lynn's teen pregnancy. Spears, speaking to Today's Meredith Vieira, said the book quickly became a "set-it-straight" book.Spears also told Vieira that the book was never supposed to be about parenting, as was previously reported. Vieira made sure to point out that many critics of Spears look at her two daughters and think, "she has no business writing a book on parenting." (Possibly the understatement of the century).Spears does talk candidly in the book about how her darling girl Britney went from a happy singer/dancer to a troubled woman shaving her head in front of the paparazzi. She feels... read more be the first to leave a comment

  • Today Show Guest Talks Back! | Today's News: Our Take | 7/30/2008
    Ohhh…shut-down! Talk about Kathy Lee and Hoda getting put in their place during a cooking segment within the morning show's fourth hour last week. The two ladies were yammering on as per usual when the chef told the co-hosts to shut their pie-holes for once and listen (well, maybe not in those exact words, but you get the idea).
