I didn't see Ann's bias - anymore than I see Matt Lauer's bias (can anyone guess which party he identifies with???).

Anyhoo, I watched GMA for the first time yesterday and rather enjoyed it.

So I will be taking a break from the Today show because I dislike their treatment of women anchors and Matt Lauer's smug superiority.

I think they could have handled it better but the truth is as long as they keep broody, moody Matt hanging around it will be difficult to fill Meredith's shoes. I don't like him, never have and I believe it was a mistake to put Ann in the chair in the first place. She just can't carry a show like that, doesn't have the "it" factor and she DEFINITELY cannot conduct an interview. It was always like watching a train wreck.

I do like Savannah but I have my doubts as to whether the switch will improve ratings. I'm just glad they didn't choose Natalie.....ick. It probably won't improve until Matt Lauer is out of the picture. I do feel a little sorry for Ann in spite of all the millions she makes, can't fix hurt feelings with any amount of money.

There is a reason Lauer is still on and Curry is going..You should be able to figure it out.

Well, what it is? His less than charming personality? His less-than good looks? His crack interviewing skills? What?

Most people I know are sick of seeing him as well. Personally, I think they need to revamp the entire show - including the ever annoying Al Roker.

I watched GMA again today and everyone seemed like they were having a lot more fun than anyone on the Today set.

News has always been Ann's niche, so I don't think she'll have any problem landing on her feet elsewhere. She previously had done local news in Los Angeles, so that wouldn't be a bad market to go back to if she could.

Hey case,

Ann isn't going anywhere. She's still at NBC in NYC, on a new contract. She's just not on the Today Show anymore. Her feet aren't moving from the network.

Um yeah, I'd like to know the answer to that too. The reason isn't obvious, obviously.

He is in tight with the higher ups and apparently still has a following.

I agree. Everyone in that show is over 40+. The set needs a makeover. Sorry but Al and Matt need to take a hike as well.
