In an effort to compete against Katie Couric's week-long run as a guest co-host on 'Good Morning America,' none other than Sarah Palin joined 'Today' as a co-host during the 8am hour.
The morning show wars are really starting to heat up. On the heels of former 'Today' host Katie Couric returning to AM television as guest co-host of ABC's 'Good Morning America', NBC's 'Today' just announced their own high profile guest co-host.
Jon Hamm was on 'Today' Monday morning, along with other members of the 'Mad Men' cast. The critically-acclaimed drama returns for its fifth season Sunday, hence the group appearance. But 'Today' host Matt Lauer would've been remiss if he didn't ask Hamm to also address comments that he made last week about Kim Kardashian, in which he accused the reality TV star of being a "f----g idiot" for the way she flaunts her stupidity.
In response, Kardashian called Hamm's comments "careless," and Lauer wanted to know what Hamm thought about that.
Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb don't usually get big names to stick around for 'Today's' boozy fourth hour segment, but they snagged a couple major stars Tuesday in Will Ferrell and Nick Offerman, aka Ron Swanson from 'Parks and Recreation.'
Last week we were introduced to Jack, a young fan of the Vancouver Canucks who got the crowd at Rogers Arena going with an enthusiastic and expertly rhythmic dance to LMFAO's 'Sexy and I Know It.'
We learned a little more about the pint-sized performer this weekend, thanks to an interview he and his family did with 'Today.'
It's been exactly a month since Tommy Jordan took his .45 to his daughter's laptop, creating a viral video sensation.
Jordan was angry that his daughter had posted profanity-laden comments on her Facebook page about having to do housework, and his extreme reaction touched off an intense discussion of parenting methods. Jordan, along with his wife and his daughter Hannah Maria, sat down with Matt Lauer on 'Today' to discuss the incident.
Rubbergate has been solved. During an interview with Matt Lauer, Zac Efron sheepishly confessed to dropping a condom as he walked the red carpet for his upcoming kids movie 'Dr. Seuss' The Lorax.'
The Lindsay Lohan comeback tour is more than just this weekend's much ballyhooed stop on 'Saturday Night Live.' She also sat down for an interview with 'Today's' Matt Lauer, which aired Thursday.
'Today' had been teasing their high-profile "get" all week, and Conan O'Brien made a little mischief with those promos Wednesday night. (One has to imagine Conan takes particular glee in spoofing NBC shows such as 'Today.')
If you've ever been awake before 10 am, then you’ve probably seen a network morning news program at least once. So, you know that there are usually throngs of fans outside waving signs, and the likelihood of one fan’s sign being singled out is small. But that hasn't stopped New Jersey's Jason Allentoff, who is trying to beat those odds so he could personally thank Matt Lauer, Katie Couric and the rest of the 'Today' show crew past and present for leading him to a career in journalism. Will his heartwarming story win the 'Today Show' gang over?
