In the wake of Ann Curry’s tearful goodbye this morning on Today, speculation about her replacement has escalated. Some news outlets are saying that Savannah Guthrie will be sitting in Curry’s chair next to Matt Lauer tomorrow morning, but that isn’t unusual. Curry was already scheduled to be off Friday and Guthrie has often filled in for her in the past. And there were conflicting reports about the timing of any announcement by NBC or whether there would be one later this summer.

No offense to Savannah Guthrie, but Ann Curry has 1,200,000+ followers on Twitter compared to the former’s 65,000.
And it’s not like Savannah has not been featured prominently in all of NBC’s news shows.
I don’t think this is going to be the bump they’re hoping for. I think The Today Show lost it’s crown for other reasons than Ann Curry and it ain’t coming back any time soon.
Bye AL,we will miss you ……
Not ratface lauer.
I’m sure Savannah Guthrie is a nice girl. But shes a snooze fest. If she gets the co-anchor , she’ll be out on her ass before the end of the year.
