Savannah Guthrie Takes Ann Curry's Spot on 'Today'

Legal eagle Savannah Guthrie appears to have landed the job as co-host on “Today.” Fueling rumors that she will be permanently taking Ann Curry’s spot, Savannah was seated next to co-host Matt Lauer Friday morning. Late this morning, NBC officially announced Guthrie as Ann's replacement.

Guthrie’s name isn’t the only one being considered -- Hoda Kotb, Meredith Vieira and Natalie Morales – are also in the mix, but she has been considered a frontrunner since news of Ann’s departure leaked last week.
Leading up to the shakeup, Savannah was co-host of the third hour of “Today.” Before joining the show in June 2011, she served as NBC News White House Correspondent and contributed to all NBC News properties, including “NBC News with Brian Williams” and “Today.” Learn more!

NBC your 2nd mistake! First was Jay/Conan. Glad Jay is back.
Ann Curry is the Best, she is not the problem. too many talking @ once & not allowing enough time for segments Is the problem!
Matt acts like a googol eyed teen around Samantha. Better calm Dow, Matt.
Correct you're error or loose my watching.
Sincerely,
Merrily
Sorry, I hate the way they did Ann Curry, and I hope savannah chokes! I hope Matt does too! What scum he turned out to be. Today will have to get rid of his caustic and ugly bald arrogant demeanor to save the show. I won't watch it anymore and I've watched it since Dave Garroway was the anchor!! Good Morning America!!
I am sorry to see Anne leave the Today Show, I don't think Savannah Guthrie is a good replacement either. She is kinda boring as an Anchor though I like her in other segments. I'm sorry today show I won't be watching anymore to many changes to fast and the show has become boring showing the same things over and over each week. eg. fashion color blocking way to many times, cooking segments over and over again. I just wish you could find some new and exciting things to report on? With all the other channels out there to choose from you lost my attention to another channel.
Ann was unfairly removed again leaving Today with an all-white cast (yes, including Al)...shame on you! SG might be smart, but who isn't... she does not connect on any level as a person or personality. She also has visible and distracting bumps above her lip as well as bruised legs (yuch!).
