Conan the Contrarian
2008-04-10 00:34:00 Conan O'Brien does a great riff on casting for (I hope) a fictional movie about the "Today" show's newest hire - Kathie Lee Gifford. It's like separated at birth. Diane Sawyer and Courtney Love. Matt Lauer and Sinead O'Connor. But wait, there's more! I'm not a big fan of Conan but this is hilarious. Well done, Conan, writers, producers, and editors.

Kathie Lee: The Bitch Is Back
2008-04-01 17:31:00 What matters is getting your name out there. What doesn't matter is why. Especially, to be frank again, when you're hosting the fourth hour of "Today," because who even knew "Today" had a fourth hour? David Hinckley NYDN Lisa de Moraes Wash PostThe addition of zany, oversharing Kathie Lee at least provides more of a reason to watch the fourth hour than there is now, namely, that you were vacuuming during the third hour of the Today show, had a seizure, and are now prostrate on the floor awaiting medical help.

2008-03-30 17:26:00 The fourth hour of the "Today" show sucks. "The Total Woman" circa 1973 greeting her husband at the door with a martini wearing only a garter belt, stockings, and a Frederick's of Hollywood bullet bra with circular stitching molding mammaries into Lana Turner deadly sweater girl projectiles. Vicki's Nylons TIME mag 1977 The Atlantic Monthly 2003"It has been six months since NBC tacked on a fourth hour to "The Today Show." And those excruciating additional 60 minutes might best be described as a women's magazine -- pre-"Feminine Mystique" -- brought to life. It is an hour dominated by extreme weight-loss stories, ambush makeovers and recipes for carrot cake so good that it will make a man propose... Anchor Ann Curry slips into the lower registers of her voice trying, through sheer gravitas of tone, to lend these segments a hint of dignity.

Thanks For Cher-ing
2007-10-30 14:15:00 In one breath the annoying phony Ann Curry intones: "I'm the anti-egomaniac. The anti-TV person." In the next: "People on the street who may earn the minimum wage, people who are making the hotdogs on the street, those people are coming up to me and saying things like, 'Boy, I hope you?re getting a raise. You?re working so hard. Are they paying you enough money?' It?s so wild to have someone who is just earning minimum wage worrying about whether I?m being taken care of, because they?re worrying I?m working too hard." TV Week's Michele Greppi sucks up to Ann big time, coddling her ego as "The Face Of NBC News." Curry: "Do I feel like I?m on a fast horse? Yeah. I?m not just on a fast horse without a saddle, I?m on a wild leopard and it?s going very fast." What comes out of Ann's mouth is far more odious than a curry scent of a woman.

2007-10-10 15:22:00 Mike James, the self-described "Surly Editortm" of NewsBlues.com, has changed his tune about NBC News' sappy, sugary cockroach Ann Curry. Miz Ann filled in for Brian Williams on "Nightly" last night. "She was, quite frankly, all that we had expected from Katie Couric and never got. Her delivery was muscular, composed, believable. She kept her distracting hands solidly locked by her side. She read the TelePrompTer confidently and plowed through minor misspeaks without hesitation. Her voice, buttery soft yet ballsy, demanded our attention. We are now fans of Ann." Over at ABC's Good Morning America, chicken Diane Sawyer didn't have the balls to ask Jennifer Lopez the question Enquiring Minds want answered: "Are you pregnant?" Richard Huff, NY Daily News, reports Miz Diane gushed "Can I hug you because I'm so happy?" Lopez was on Letterman last night and he didn't ask, either. No questions about her condition must be a condition before Miz Jennifer agrees to interviews. I suspect ...

See Ann Curry Naked!
2007-09-11 15:55:00 Without cue cards. Al Roker human prop. Newsday's Verne Gay slays Today's new gambit: "The Fourth Hour is utter glop, with no reason for being, no purpose, no intelligence, no thought, no energy, and no originality. Hosted by Ann Curry, Hoda Kotb and Natalie Morales, the premiere of "FHOTS" flopped on the deck like a flatulent flounder - full of gas, babble, blather, and bubbleheaded banter."Here's what Today's toadies would have us believe: "The fourth hour will continue Today's rich history of setting the agenda for what Americans will be talking about in the office, at the watercooler and with friends all day. The hour will be topical and timely, incorporating the news of the day with what people are buzzing about in a spontaneous, informative and dynamic manner."

I wouldn't say it?s important to support charitable causes; I would say that it is a gift to support charitable causes.
