NBC has announced that its next live musical—a follow up to star-studded productions of Jesus Christ Superstar, Hairspray, Peter Pan, The Wiz, and Sound of Music—will be Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical. So now the real question: Will the cast hang brain?
Pat Langer, executive vice president of human resources at NBCUniversal, is set to retire at the end of June, according to an internal memo sent on March 29. The news of Langer’s resignation coincides with a recently completed investigation into HR practices at NBC News—in particular, whether managers had knowledge of…
When NBC News Chairman Andy Lack fired Matt Lauer in November following multiple allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct, he made it very clear that he hadn’t received any complaints about Lauer’s behavior until that week. A report from the Washington Post published Thursday evening indicates otherwise.
NBC couldn’t even wait four more years to offer figure skater Adam Rippon the Olympic commenter’s post for which he was destined, and the network has hired him to stick around in Pyeongchang! Doing something, I dunno, “working across various platforms,” according to NBC spokesperson Greg Hughes, but who cares! They…
If there’s one thing NBC loves, it’s undervaluing their greatest assets (like Tamron Hall and Hoda Kotb). If there’s another thing NBC loves, it’s wasting money. But if there’s a third thing NBC loves, it’s corporate synergy.
An NBC insider tells Page Six that the new face of Today, Hoda Kotb, will make $18 million less than the man she replaced, but the same amount as her co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. Kotb and Guthrie’s reported salaries are $7 million each—nice paychecks, sure, but a far cry from Lauer’s $25 million.
The prophecy came true this morning when Savannah Guthrie revealed that NBC’s best employee Hoda Kotb had officially taken over for Matt Lauer as the permanent co-anchor of Today. “This has to be the most popular decision NBC News have ever made and I’m so thrilled,” Guthrie said.
In a shocking interview published by Variety, a woman named Addie Zinone (she was Addie Collins at the time) detailed her time working at NBC’s Today from 1999-2000, when she was 24 years old. Zinone began as an intern, but was quickly offered a gig as a production assistant—her “dream job.”
Earlier today, fired and disgraced former Today show anchor Matt Lauer apologized for the pain he caused others “by words and actions,” adding he still feels “blessed” by the love of those close to him. That certainly sounded as if he were sorry and would maybe stop making ridiculous demands of people for a while.…
In a statement read this morning on Today by his former co-worker Savannah Guthrie, Matt Lauer revealed that he—like Skeet Ulrich before him—is “truly sorry” for his alleged behavior—which, in case you’re not keeping track, includes a story about him locking a woman coworker in his office, sexually assaulting her, and…
Plead the Fifth, the recurring Watch What Happens Live! segment during which host Andy Cohen asks guests to discuss topics they generally avoid, has long been known as a fount of celebrity shade. Over the years we’ve watched Brandi Glanville comment on the alleged odor of Joanna Krupa’s vagina, Charlize Theron address…
