Wide World of Women

Bigzman, I'm hoping for Meredith cause we all know how she exposes those million dollar legs

I do wish she will sub for a month or 2

The best legs I believe for the today show

Here is the very disturbing news that has been building up for almost four years, according to Variety:

And yes, Megyn Kelly "heard rumors" about Matt Lauer:

As for Ann Curry, she is not happy about this:

And yes, some celebs naturally took to Twitter and wrote down some pretty mean things. But CNN correspondent Ana Navarro is right on point with her tweet:

Bottom line, for fans and especially all the stay-at-home moms, the show will never be the same again:

Someone needs to slap all of these people who are "still processing" or "shocked". I don't know Lauer or O'Reilly or Rose or Weinstein - BUT I KNOW DAMN WELL what they've done And I've known for years. You can't tell me that a former high priced Attorney at Law turned National TV Star (claiming to be a journalist too) didn't know, didn't suspect and/or didn't actually take a turn themselves. Hell, Mika & Joe just admitted they too heard the rumors and weren't shocked............ probably the only honest thing they will say today.....

And to the vics - just remember BillO paid out 32 Million to just 1 woman......... I'd let BillO use the Loofah for $32,000,000.00 ...............

Lastly, someone really needs to slap all of the pundits using the term "harassment" These guys did that and more - it's called assault and that's a real crime.

Sounds a whole lot more like Variety came to NBC execs seeking comment for their expose prior to publication than it does a single accuser coming forward Monday/Tuesday night. The single accuser was nothing more than an attempt to protect their years of covering for Lauer.

IMHO, the gals on CBS seemed a whole lot more genuine in their announcing the Charlie Rose deal than the Today Show gals did. With the Today Show gals, it was almost relief, as in, "It's finally over."

I would have been shocked too, considering Matt Lauer's desk had a button underneath so he wouldn't have to get up to close the door like everyone else.

Did anyone catch on Twitter the one black tie pic of Lauer talking to Harvey Weinstein?
I did not see who posted it, but the quote was perfect:
"Birds of a feather do flock together."

Here is a printed statement from Matt Lauer:

I remember during the 2008 Olympics Hoda Kotb did a story about the equestrian team. At the end she showed off the boots that the riders wear. Matt Lauer kept in saying "Did you get a whip? Did you get a whip?" Now it kind of makes sense.

People are digging up a lot of clips with Lauer that now seem much odder than they did originally.
One that came to my mind was this interaction with Jean Chatzky several years ago:


And this one with Sandra Bullock is getting new scrutiny too:



Those came off as silliness at first, but his comment to Meredith Vieira caught accidentally when a station kept the
live feed running during a commercial break has a disturbing edge, though ---


And this segment from Meredith's talk show last year takes on some new significance --

I say bring in Page Hopkins from MSNBC

Is that where she's working these days?

Yes

What's so funny though is that she's been doing stories and fill-in anchoring at MSNBC & Early Today for the better part of 8 years now,
starting not long after she left Fox, at least according to her own Linkdin profile:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/page-hopkins-60300019

And there's proof, too --
This was in 2011 ...


Page has a highlight reel of more recent stuff posted on this page:
https://www.hdreps.com/talent/page-hopkins.html

And there's some of her highlights on Vimeo from both 2016 and this year:
https://vimeo.com/166402149
https://vimeo.com/232060626


If you search her name here on WWoW, you'd never even know she's been alive since leaving Fox -
she's only referred to in "whatever happened to?" posts.
For some reason -- maybe due in part to her not being a full-timer with a regular schedule-- we've virtually ignored her for years now.

Oh, well --at least now you know where to look for her





.

WOW.

Good stuff, pacificRT. Thank you!

I have no doubt now that Natmo and Lauer had an affair.

This stuff surprises me not at all. I had been hearing rumors about him for years, however the rape stuff does surprise me. I thought he was just a cheater or harraser but not an alleged rapist. First i've heard of that part of it.

father in-law said she would leave and also said would not let her be with him if that what i saw today somewhere. also with all these people get named and called out would not be surprised if both cbs and nbc have a all female co-host for time being. since do not want another issue coming up. so in till dust clears would not be surprised at them just having 2 co-host for time being in till can find proper person take up role.

It is still Hoda Kotb with Savannah Guthrie for the time being. My guess is they will have Hoda on until at least January 2, this way they can start fresh with Savannah's new partner--whomever that may be.

Gotta be Willie Geist, I would think

Another accuser:

Hoda Kotb is replacing Lauer:
