In an interview with Matt Lauer Tuesday morning, actor Charlie Sheen confirmed weeks of rumors by announcing that he is HIV-positive.
Shortly after noon on Monday, NBC published a press release stating that during The Today Show on Tuesday, Charlie Sheen will sit down for an interview with Matt Lauer. During the interview, NBC notes, Sheen “will make a revealing personal announcement.” Huh.
The newest ratings for Today, a show I have on most mornings because it is fine, are panicking the folks behind Good Morning America, a show I do not watch because it is bad.
Friday morning on Today two of NBC’s most reliable crash test dummies, Carson Daly and Savanna Guthrie, received botulism injections—LIVE!—for the whole world to watch. The segment was about “what you need to know before going under the knife,” which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, given the fact that Botox…
Over the past 10 years, Katherine Heigl’s star has gone from one of the brightest in Hollywood, to a flicker made nearly invisible by a notoriously bad reputation and seal of disapproval from Shonda Rhimes. The woman who once starred in hits like Grey’s Anatomy and Knocked Up is now unable to keep a show from…
This morning on Today, Kathie Lee Gifford told the kind of cute little story that’s perfect for a Friday. One day, Gifford said, in the before time when smartphones didn’t exist, she was waiting to meet her least punctual friend for lunch at “one of the best restaurants in New York.” After sitting alone for some time,…
NBC is bringing another wine glass to the set of Today’s Fourth Hour, because Regis Philbin is officially joining co-hosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb as a regular contributor.

Friday morning on Today, Kathie Lee did something strange. Though the show’s fourth hour is made up almost exclusively of Kathie Lee doing strange things, they rarely make for such compelling GIFs.

Clothing brand LOFT is standing behind a hilarious video they posted to their Facebook page last week showing a woman frantically binge exercising in plastic wrap until she passes out. We suggested last week that the video was pretty dumb; in a statement to Today, they say we took it "out of context" and really it's…
NBC needs to get its house in order. Following the quick firing of newly hired executive Jamie Horowitz, rumors are brewing that Horowitz went as far as to fire Today Show c0-hosts Natalie Morales and Willie Geist before he got ousted. Is no one safe? (No one is safe.)
It's obviously no secret that there is a huge gender gap (in general but also) in how we respond to what celebrities wear. Women's appearances are always subject to critique while men's wardrobes are hardly judged in comparison. One TV show host decided to test that double standard by wearing the same knock-off…
Kaci Hickox, the nurse who was placed in quarantine for three days upon returning from treating Ebola in Sierra Leone despite testing negative for Ebola, has been placed under a more relaxed quarantine in her Maine home.
