Who Do You Think Should Replace Matt Lauer?

[applecruncher]

Yes, I know about 'a la'.

Craig Melvin is "in talks" with NBC to replace Matt Lauer. He's not currently well-known; he hosts MSNBC Live.

I've always liked Craig Melvin,a good,solid reporter&interviewer.His regular afternoon time slot is at 1-2pm on MSNBC
Ann Curry has a 6 part TV show on PBS starting in Jan'18

I don't mean to speak for Jane but, if I may, "Ala" means "in a manner of style". I don't think she was suggesting "in person".

Thank you, Lara. That's precisely what I meant by "ala." Not that it did much good.

(sigh...) ala is the American Library Association. a (space) la/a la = a French expression meaning in the style or manner of. a la carte, a la mode, etc.
Enough about that. Pouting and commiserating can be done off the thread via PM.

Interesting. I looked at a pic; nice looking guy. If talks progress or if a deal is made, I'm sure we'll hear more.

Glad Ann is doing well. I always liked her.

I was reading an article over the weekend which said Matt was jealous of any male who came on board or who seemed to be a threat, even if at another network. Josh Eliot and Billy Bush were mentioned. I never liked Josh Eliot .....he was at GMA then left and moved to different jobs, the last at CBS where he was fired for running his mouth about the network. Billy Bush was fired from Today for laughing at Trump's nasty sex remarks.

I don't watch it much, so forgive me, but...why does he need to be replaced?

That's what I find myself wondering. I suppose the same NBC executives (who let Lauer get by with his bad behavior all those years) think we need a male figurehead. I'm thinking all of the executives need to be gone.

You may be onto something, Jane.

That's it! Don't replace him and then donate what would have been his salary to charity.
Money better spent I say.

Nice idea, but not gonna happen.

Interesting idea!

I've seen him on Today a couple of times and he handles himself quite well.

I think she's a good choice.

 

[hearlady]

I do too.
