"I wanted to tell all of you out there who have watched the show for the past 15 years that after listening to my heart and my gut, two things that have served me pretty well in the past, I've decided I'll be leaving Today at the end of May."

Well, we've seen her gut but this heart thing is definitely news.

LOL. I normally frown on snide references to Katie's televised colonoscopy, which served a good purpose, but I must admit it's perfect here!

I'm surprised Matt didn't jump up screaming "Yes! Yes! Yes!!!" while pumping his arm in victory.

as can be seen in the second shot here, of Katie getting a bit misty.

That's just gas.

Well, I am indebted to Katie in that hers was the liberal bias that launched a thousand columns. But I have utter faith that the powers-that-be at NBC will replace her with someone with equally liberal leanings on which we can feast for years!

Thanks, Governs.

Can you believe they chose Viera? The best female I can think of at NBC is Lisa Meyers. She's covered Capitol Hill a long time. Do you know if she was even considered?

One liberal television presenter goes from one liberal network to another. Meanwhile, ratings are in decline for liberal networks in general.

Oh, is this news?

CBS just went from a twangy liberal, to an old liberal, to an obnoxious liberal....good move for a network losing viewers...

Although most of the speculation has centered on Viera, I haven't seen an official announcement yet. Assuming it is she I would be a bit surprised in one sense, that NBC would replace Couric, who is 49, with someone older - Viera is 51. That runs counter to the Today trend in these matters.

Agreed, Lisa Myers is a solid pro, but I never heard her name mentioned. I think she's seen as more of a serious news professional, not a lite 'n fluffy morning show type.

Needs to change the phone number for where to send the DNC faxes. Other than that, who cares...

Did not watch NBC and will not watch CBS in the morning, noon nor night.

I didn't think it was possible, but NBC is replacing Couric with somebody who is even more vapid.

I'd say CBS ratings were going to tank, but that's a little difficult, considering the shape Rather left the ratings in. Still, if the sub-basement has a sub-sub-basement, Couric should be able to find it.
