Congratulations to the Today Show team! According to Nielsen research, Today has been the most popular morning show for 700 consecutive weeks. That’s quite a winning streak. It started in December of 1995 when Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric were the hosts and has continued through the current reign of Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira.

As one of the five to six million people who wake up with Matt, Meredith, Ann Curry and Al Roker each weekday, I’m thrilled to know I’m in the majority. If nothing else, it’s good to have the odds on my side when I ask someone at work, “Hey, did you see that piece on the Today Show this morning?” The answer is often, “Yes.” For me, Today is the ideal combination of solid broadcast journalism and light-hearted fun. Matt, Meredith, Ann and Al are able to bounce between the tough stories and the silly segments with aplomb.

  2. What would ever happen if we lost the today show? One might think that we can move on after mourning the loss of our favorite show in the morning. I hope it never happens, I couldn’t possibly take the anguish.

    Hey there! I’ve just run into an awesome website on the net – and just couldn’t miss the chance to tell the world about it.
    Anybody here who remembers how things used to go back in 1990s when usenet was popular and people were sending pics and messages back and forth in that network through dialup connections? :)
    Well, this is what this site is based on! Boy, I’ve never seen a collection of content as huge as this before! Dozens or maybe even hundreds of terabytes of high-quality video and photo content, user-friendly navigation system, video clip previews… Alright, you better go and check this site out yourself. By the way, this site is intended for adults, so if you are not 18 yet, better close this topic and pretend you have never seen it, alright? Yeah, I know that spamming is bad – so if you want to hit this site, simply get the link to it in my profile.

    I found a mega site in the network…

  6. Great precise info, I’ve been searching on this topic for a while. Bookmarked and recommended!

    Clash of Titans is a superb movie and i am a fan of the classic movies featuring Hercules and some other greek god.

  8. Kobe is a beast. Yeah he is the best of the best right now. Haters cannot admit that he is awesome because they are afraid of him.

    I really like watching Matt, Meredith, Ann, and Al every morning. The Today Show is the only morning show I watch. My favorite part is the Summer Concert Series. They have an awesome line up for the summer. I am excited to see Black Eyed Peas and Kings of Leon perform!!!

    i was praying asking god for strength to do something that would change lives,i hear him say,just dont screw it up,i know who i need to be,i’ve come to know myself at the age of 38,now maybe if i were 20,i’d still be struggling with that.there’s no doubt that a lot of people identify with me,still,i admit its not easy,but i think my generation are sort of waking up and realizing that we potentially may not be able to have it all not at the same time.i know that political and personal lives are the same.so many times we have people who are born with that spoon in their mouth,and they have no concept of where a lot of us have come from,or where we are going.our challenges get publicized,and i see that as a gift to let people know there is no magic to this.it’s strange all of this,im here as a young man,as a father,as a citizen of this country,if any of this suppose to scare me,something might happen,im not worry,but you know what?something really powerful might also happen,and you might grow and learn and benefit others.now children from this day forward will not recall a time when there wasnt a black president of the united states of america,i am so proud of america.i am so proud of the obama family,whose image and a ccomplishments will chane stereotypes about black families and what black people can accomplish.

    may god bless every person that believe in his work.AMEM!

    sincerely yours,MR.CALVIN MORRIS.
