I can't remember the last time I saw anything interesting on the Today Show. Nothing but hens clucking.

I loved the Today Show when Katie was still there. I like it now. But is no longer a Must See. Meredith was the best thing about The View. I've never watched it since she left. And I don't think Katie is great as anchor of the CBS Evening News. The three networks should work something out and let both women go back to their old jobs where they shined.

I will never watch the Today Show again! Meredith is just rude! Who wants to hear her opinions? The only person that thinks she is funny is herself. I just want the news - I don't want all her stupid feedback. The day of Couric or Lauer or Meredith are over. Move on!

The Today Show has turned into a Jerry Springer like waste of time. I am shocked that anyone consents to being interviewed after seeing the way that Meredith interrupts and cuts people off. They need to allot more time to interviews or just not have them. Some of the questions posed by both Matt and Meredith are only to feed the media hype instead of getting honest answers. This has rocketed downhill.

Matt Lauer is just a liberal little dickweed.

Matt and all the news cast is over paid. It makes me sick when they talk of high prices like it is going to cut into their pockets they have no need to worry if gas gets 20 dollars a gallon they will never worry about any price of anything its pennies to them

I am glad I always worked in the early morning and never got hooked on these fake news shows. Now that I am able to watch them, I am glad for cable news shows, so I don't have to watch broadcast. Simply horrible, I refuse to watch any show that Couric or Lauer are on period even if they are the only thing on TV. Now that Viera is on there, fine, except I won't watch the show anyway. Lauer has got to be the most OVERPAID whiner I have ever seen on TV!!

I like how Meredith Viera seems to be very secure and comfortable in her own skin - her humor is a lot more natural and easy-going than Katie Couric's, who always seemed to be a tad uncomfortable during more humorous segments/banters. That said, I can't help but state that Meredith Viera is also starting to get on my nerves. In my opinion, the "fun" on the Today show is about to take over everything, and she just can't let an opportunity pass to be funny or to get a laugh. Matt plays along way too much, and I find myself more and more thinking "Enough already!" - especially when they go on talking simultaneously for minutes and I can't understand a thing anyone is saying because in addition, the camera crew is roaring with laughter in the background. I guess it took this new anchor to really, really make me appreciate the art of Katie Couric who was truly a master at balancing the serious journalistic edge with the occasional(!) lightheartedness also required of a morning show anchor. At first I really liked Meredith Viera, now I secretly wish they'd bring Katie back. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Meredith on the Millionaire, but on the Today Show, she is irritating me more and more. They're just lucky that super-annoying Miles O'Brien on CNN and phony Diane Sawyer on ABC are still more unappealing to me. So, for a while there, I'll stick around some more and hope they'll start to get a bit more sincere again...

The Today Show has got to get rid of Meredith. She is unprofesional and rude to the people she interviews and has no sincerity during serious topics. There is absolutely no chemistry between her and any of the others, they seem to "tolerate" her. Today she spoke of the president having his tail between his legs at the State of the Union address. She should know a lot agbout that topic because that is how she appears every day. She has insulted the president and I do not mean the person, I mean the office itself. She has insulted Hillary Clinton, Martha Stewart, Donald Trump as well as many of her not so famous guests. She has more than blurred the view on Rockerfeller Plaza. I am also curious as to why they are expanding the Today Show by another hour. It already feels like they are scrambling to ccover the 3 hours they now have. I thought I could continue to watch the Today Show because of Matt, Ann and Al, however I have moved over to GMA. The new set is also a didaster. The old set was warm and seemed as if you were sitting in someone's livingroom, this one makes me feel like I'm waiting for a Dr.s appointment! It certainly did not decorate well over the holidays.

I do watch The Today Show when I get a chance. I guess it's just because I've watched that particular network for so long, I'm just used to it.
bigdog1 05/20/2006
I love when Katie wears short skirts. I think its really sexy to see a woman approaching 50 still wear short skirts and show off her legs. I'm gonna miss seeing Katies legs when she leaves but on the plus side, Meredith Viera has a set of legs on her to. She's another hot mature white woman who is still sexy at 50 so I look forward to her. I wonder why Anne Curry didn't get to take over Katies spot? Hmmmm. Natalie Morales is a good looking piece to.
HelloKitty09 04/06/2006
Mmm, Katie Couric is leaving. Now I have a reason to watch the Today show.
copendog1 03/31/2006
The rotating set of female personalities on the “Today Show” represents a sad pack of Barbie-types. Trash theater in the making, as the desperate struggle to become the next "America's sweetheart" unfolds. Their behavior conjures images of a very desperate high school cheerleader competition. Narcistic to the point of absurdity, these "Breck" girls are a tad too focused on the superficial world of big hair, sexy legs and Manolo stilettos. A little less hairspray, please....
Gary Brazel 03/30/2006
Matt is great but whats up with Katies crusty mouth every other week? Thay should keep her out of the wind! I can't wait until they go on vacation every year so we get to check out the great looking fill ins they use! This show is entertaining for about 2 days and then you can't wait to go to the weather channel!
CrashClark 02/18/2006
Katie and Matt are VERY good at what they do, which is report the news and humor the public. I watch them EVERY morning and have for the past 7 or 8 years. They're down to earth and never act like their above us. I LOVE humor and go there to get my day started, with a cup of my favorite coffee. I love it when they travel and share their experiences with us; Places we only drean about. Keep up the good work guys! Oh, and leave Matt's hair alone. It looks good.
ellis 01/18/2006
This show is by far the best entertainment/news morning program on network television. 1) Good Morning America gets all of their ideas from The Today Show. (i.e. weddings, summer concert series, etc.) 2) Nobody actually watches The Early Show. 3) The Today Show has a collection of four hosts (Katie Couric, Matt Lauer, Al Roker, and Ann Curry) that have been together for about nine years. They all have original personalities and at least Matt Lauer and Ann Curry are very nice and down-to-earth in person. Sure, Katie gets a bit out of hand sometimes, but that is pure entertainment. 4) The fill-ins are excellent, especially Natalie Morales of MSNBC, the sexiest woman on the planet who should be getting A LOT more air time.
dskelly 09/22/2004
I used to watch everyday until the bias became so disgusting I had to turn away for good.
tdubya71 07/26/2004
Katie is biased and the show sucks up to Hollywood too much.

This is not news. This is cooking shows with dumbos. If these people and this content represents USA, we might as well close up shop. Brainless turds.

livin4love 11/12/2003
Katie is one of the most biased journalist that has ever "graced" our t.v. screens. Not only is she biased, but behind that perky smile is a woman filled with hate. She doesn't show this side of herself very often, but when she does it's a scary thing! Politics brings out the worst in you, Katie...steer clear from it or ruin your career forever!
37102002 09/10/2003
This is considered a news show? Seems more like entertainment to me. Tends toward sensational/tabloid journalism. Katie seems fake a lot.
jane33 07/18/2003
Please help me start a fund for a new hair piece for Matt Laur. He looks like a prisoner of war. Somebody tell Matt to DO SOMETHING ABOUT HIS HORRIBLE HAIRCUT!
kolby1973 07/18/2003
I agree with sunglazd....Matt Lauer and Katie Couric are possibly the worst on morning TV news shows...bleah. Can you say BORING, EGOTISTICAL, and OVERRATED ?
sunglazd 07/17/2003
Katie Couric and Matt Lauer are the worst, period!
bigguy 07/16/2003
I USED TO WATCH EVERYDAY BUT THE EARLY SHOW HAS SUDDENLY BECUM ALOT MORE INTERESTING.TODAY HAS BEEN SLIPPING FOR SUM TIME NOW- LUCKILY THEY HAVE HOT LIL KATIE TO ATTRACT THE AUDIENCE THAT THEY HAVE LEFT
buckwheats 06/04/2003
Out-right discusting! I have changed my morning viewing to Seseme Street. Who needs to have your day ruined by intrusive questions, gross decriptions of murder, and have people's very personal life be turned upsidedown by Katie and Matt! It bothers me the rest of the day-don't need that on my mind.
rogerls 05/31/2003
the valley girl wanna be catie is a big drag on the show
lm1236 05/24/2003
Matt Laurer is awesome.
dahlia 05/24/2003
I don't watch it anymore because of Katie Couric. She is extremely annoying because she is excessively perky and annoying and the last thing in the world that I want to see or hear in the morning, a real pain and sooo phoney. If I were rating only her I would have given it a 1 but the other people are bearable and work hard. Thank God for remote controls.
brownin 03/12/2003
Love it!!! I watch the Today Show religiously each morning. The only thing that irks me is that usually when they have a really good segnent, they bring it on in the 8am segment.. and by that time I have to leave for work. I think they need to bring these segments on during 7:30 - 8 am so that working people can also watch them.
snickerfritz04 01/24/2003
YESTERDAY IT WAS BORING, TODAY IT WAS BORING, TOMORROW IT WILL BE BORING. CHANGE YOUR FORMAT SOMETIME SOON, AS WELL AS YOUR HOSTS
mysteryguyfrom mi 01/22/2003
This is NOT a NEWS SHOW. They only have about 1 minute an hour of actual news. This is an entertainment show. It's junk !
Fredwah 12/14/2002
The worst part of this show is their compulsion to interview the members of families of people that have just died in some disaster. "Gee, you're kid just got killed in a plane crash, how do you feel?", "Well Katie, we're sad" What exactly is the news value of that? Are we supposed to be surprised that they are sad? For some bizzare reason, NBC thinks that that type of interview is newsworthy and inflicts it on the Today Show viewers with increasing regularity.
TimBSDCA 10/12/2002
Katie Couric is so bad this show is almost unwatchable
shirzat 05/22/2002
I hate the fact that you have a third hour of Today. Our local channel shows Regis & Kelly so it is delayed until 10:00. I do not watch the third hour of Today. It has nothing of interest to me and just get boring after so many hours. It makes me resent the Today show at times.
katalina 03/24/2002
YUK!!! Get rid of Katie Couric. She is NOT worth her 60 million dollar contract. She reads from a teleprompter just like anybody else could. Matt Lauer has become about as exciting as watching paint dry. Ms. Couric also has a bad habit of interviewing and then interupting her guests when they are speaking. Bryant Gumble (even though he appears very arrogant) Jane Clayson, Diane Sawyer and Charlie Gibson beat Matt and Katie hands down. Katalina
Sfldreamer 03/23/2002
Katie Couric is one of the most negative people on tv. She comes across prissy and unresonable.
Newsbabe 12/31/2001
The Today Show is so totally boring, that I fell asleep one morning watching it, now I tune in to GMA and enjoy the positive and fun filled comments of Diane Sawyer and Charles Gibson!
badbiddy 11/19/2001
As of today, my husband and I have had enough of the Today show and especially Katie and Matt. The style of interviewing has really gotten on our nerves. So, we are changing the channel.
DonevaGarcia 11/02/2001
I have loved The Today Show ever since watching it as a child with my parents in the '60's. I enjoy Matt Lauer, Katie Couric, et al. I really like Soledad O'Brien and would like to see her get a bigger role. However, one irritant that seems to grow worse each week is Katie's constant interruption when interviewing her guests. It's as if she thinks her opinion is more important, and she is continually interjecting it in her interviews. I had to laugh at the irony when Katie chastised Chris Matthews for interrupting HER when she was interviewing HIM!! Katie, have a slice of humble pie and let your guests speak!!
Macdfamily 10/31/2001
Katie and Matt are just Al Gore lackies. Get a show.
rodman 10/30/2001
It is obvious that Katie and Matt can't get Al Gore out of their mind. Look at what happened to NY City. I believe Al and Bill were there when the first bombing occurred but what did they do. All of the events that recently happened were started when a do nothing president/vice president restructured government at the expense of the military. Katie and Matt watch a good news show switch to Fox.
teri fitzgerald 10/15/2001
There is enough free-floating anxiety these days to incite all kinds of violence. Lauer's coverage of the admittedly inconsequential evidence linking Hitler's hatred to homosexuality was alarmist and grossly irresponsible. There can be no doubt that this mornings coverage will incite fear, doubt and irrational responses in an already frightened population. In short, there is more than a strong possibility that someone will be hurt because of the hatred that was stirred today. I think Lauer is probably too intelligent not to make these connections; so he knowingly participated in the inciting of violence against gay people....I think Lauer should consider his actions...this was certainly damaging and irresponsible journalism...shame.
Coleen 09/29/2001
To be a five the weekend version of the show needs to be adjusted. Solidad has NO pizazz. Actually, neither do. I'm not sure who should replace, but they had some rather fun quirky people awhile back. It is a less formal format on the weekend, and in alot of areas there is no competition at this slot so instead of just sticking anchors in the spot, fill it with interesting ones. Ann Curry carries the weekday show!
rick0413 09/20/2001
KATIE AND MATT YOU TWO ARE THE BEST ADVERTISEMENT FOX NEWS COULD EVER HOPE FOR.KATIE WHEN YOU HAD YOUR SCOPE JOB (WHICH IS JUST WHAT I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING) I AM SURPRISED THEY DIDN'T FIND YOUR HEAD UP THERE. WHAT AN EVEN MORE TRAGIC TIME THIS WOULD BE IF AL GORE HAD STOLEN THE ELECTION. COMMANDER IN CHEIF, ONLY THING THAT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE LIAR IN CHEIF bill clinton.
Carol Aiken 09/14/2001
We always watch/listen to the Today show while preparing for work. We would especially like to share how much we enjoy Ann Curry. She is so beautiful. She comes across inordinately professional, "classy" and intelligent. Glad that her assignments are moving more toward the news anchor lines.
Joey Smith 09/04/2001
Hello, I have watched the Today show for years. Unfortunately, the way that Ann Curry conducts an interview causes me to mute the sound on my telvision set. I have lived in the northeast for many years and am well aware of how people tend to interupt you while you are speaking. I think that Ann is VERY rude and tries to be the expert on every subject. When Katie, Matt or Al or gone, and Ann fills in for them I change the channel to another show. This is the first time I have ever left an email like this but she is really annoying me. Thought you would like to know this before I get more comfortable watching Diane S. Thanks for listening and hope you can correct this obnoxious problem on your show.
