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.
Current Today Show A-Team Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer stayed up past their bedtimes to appear on television’s best talk show, Watch What Happens Live!, Thursday night and spend time with host/genius Andy Cohen. While no tea is spilled (Lauer and Guthrie are careful not to disparage anyone, and with good reason),…
No doubt you have been inundated with information and analyses regarding last night’s Best Picture announcement flub. But what the hell, here’s another nugget! It seems that the confusion might have been exacerbated by the tension between presenters Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. You see, both wanted to announce the…
NBC’s Today has been making so many bad, perhaps brand-ruining decisions lately—from embarrassing new hires to shameful firings—that no additional shakeup should surprise me, but a rumor reported Thursday managed to do so anyway. Page Six reports Megyn Kelly may “unseat” Savannah Guthrie (who is currently on maternity…
“It’s been two years now since the whole ordeal. I feel ready to stand up and own what happened to me and I’m going to make sure other people—other boys and girls—know they don’t have to be ashamed either,” Chessy Prout told Savannah Guthrie on Tuesday morning’s Today. Prout was 15 years old when she was sexually…

On Wednesday, Today Show host Savannah Guthrie smiled through a beauty segment featuring a black model whose hair was ruined on national television via a style that was sold as “easy and effortless.” Someone help this model; her smile is hiding her pain!

Prior to a town hall in which Trump offered surprising views on North Carolina’s bathroom law, Today’s Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie provided the Trump family with a lovely nest of positive reinforcement and lightly personal questions that Lauer himself described as “potpourri.” Melania Trump in particular was given…

Savannah Guthrie had Donald Trump call in to Today this morning, discussing whether his much-maligned comments about Megyn Kelly having “blood coming out of her...wherever” during Thursday’s GOP debate were, in fact, regarding her menstrual cycle.
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…
As part of their continued dominance of exclusives in the “Rachel Dolezal says she is black” story, NBC aired a new interview with Dolezal during the NBC Nightly News on Tuesday evening. During it, Dolezal told Savannah Guthrie that she wasn’t sure she could say authoritatively that she is truly related to her…
Does Rand Paul want to be president, or does he want to teach classes on how to interview?

On Friday's Today show, Matt Lauer interviewed Twitter CEO Dick Costolo. While the conversation skimmed the surface of revealing any actual information – Twitter is so hip and cool! Sometimes people send mean tweets! Man everyone there is young! – Costolo subtly tried to smooth over the company's "woman problem" with…
The Today show always gets really really really into Halloween, and this year the theme was classic TV Throwback Thursday. The perfect excuse to get Matt Lauer in a red swimsuit.
