Ann Curry hasn’t been bringing the heat on The Today Show.

For the last 14 years, Ann Curry has been a fixture on The Today Show.  She spent most of that time at the news desk, which is fitting considering her background as a journalist.  It’s only within the past year, since Meredith Vieira left the program, that she’s gotten the call-up to sit alongside Matt Lauer at the host’s couch, where she may do anything from participating in a cooking segment to interviewing a celebrity guest.  To say that Ann has struggled in her new role is an understatement, and her bosses at NBC have taken notice.  More importantly, they’ve noticed the morning show’s ratings slide; Today has recently been losing in the ratings to ABC competitor Good Morning America, breaking 16 years of dominance.  As such, NBC is rumored to be looking to replace Ann Curry on Today.

There are many possible directions that NBC could go to bridge the gap between the time everyone wakes up and the time America’s drunk aunt, Kathy Lee Gifford, takes to the airwaves to make a fool of herself.  While I doubt NBC could get Meredith Vieira to return to the program, they could always swap out Ann for her traditional stand-in, Savannah Guthrie.  She seems to have more chemistry with Matt and company, and she seems to be a little less awkward on camera.  Unfortunately, Guthrie doesn’t feed The Soup with awesome word repetition clips like this below.

Good morning good morning everyone everyone.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
