All Episodes Talk: Orange is the New Yuck!

Why do Sheinelle, Al and Craig always treat Dylan like she's dumb?  The woman's a meteorologist, so, she's obviously not, but, they all seem to talk down to her.

Dylan and her husband think they are cute and funny, and she tries to replicate that with Al and Craig, and it doesn't always work on a morning talk show.  And Sheinelle treats everyone like that.

And honestly sheinelle doesn’t always come across as the sharpest tool in the shed. 

Well, neither do Hoda and Jenna for that matter.

That's what I was thinking.  And, Al is luckier than he is talented.

I like Al and I think he's very good at interviews and hosting, in addition to being a good weatherman.

However, I think Jenna got her jobs cause of her last name.  And Hoda was lucky enough to be there when Matt was fired.  I still think it should have been Craig and Savannah hosting all along.

My cable company has dropped NBC, so goodbye Today show! I have to find another mindless morning show to watch while I wash dishes & fold laundry. It would probably be CBS, but I can’t stand Oprah’s “best friend” Gayle.

I watch the Today show app.  You can pick and choose the stories you want to watch.  And if you have a Roku, you can watch stories on the NBC News app.  Not the same as the full show, but something to watch.

[rcc]

Dylan deserves better hosts like this morning with Peter and Halle. Al not good for years, Craig just doesn't have a broadcaster's voice and Sheinelle is a diva.

[scorpio1031]

According to Al's IG, Hoda is back tomorrow.  

Don't forget to adjust the volume on your television accordingly:(  

edited to add:  Al removed the IG post about Hoda

But, but, but ….you're going to miss Hoda talking about how she never thought she would be a mother again, and how her heart is full, and you have to have hope.  And then there will be only 5 minutes left to watch after that.  And Hoda and Jenna haven't worked together since Jenna mentioned she was "pregnand" and how she is leaving to go on "madernady" leave.  And Hoda will tell her that she shouldn't have felt guilty for being pregnant.  

It's hard to be snarky when auto correct keep trying to change your spelling....LOL

[scorpio1031]

Can’t sleep.  Going thru IG and Al has removed the post mentioning Hoda.  So don’t know for sure now if she’s back or not.  Sorry if I got anyone’s hopes up😜

🤣 this post is the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time.  

Don’t forget there’s got to be a few Hailey mentions in there. She’s the most loving best sister, along some pictures to prove it. And, of course, Hoda will say she’s exhausted with 2 littles ones...if only she had help, poor woman. I wonder how many extra “babysitters” she’s had to hire (she won’t say nanny because shes just like us regular folk.)

Hailey may have to be sent to live with Blake since Hoda has a new toy.  Whoops.  I mean baby.  The show isn't on here because of flash flooding.  OT, but, I have to show respect to local reporters who are holding their tongues when it comes to people driving into, and, getting trapped in large pools of water.

[ByaNose]

I totally forgot about Blake the dog. That was all she talked about before she had baby #1 & #2. I guess it was too much to handle or she lost interest. I just checked her twitter and she was on the Coco train. Then I checked the ESPN and I see that the Coco train has been derailed. What will Hoda do now? She always needs something to hang on to. At the moment she doesn't seem to concerned about her job.

She will probably start obsessing over whatever new song my teenage girls are listening to at the moment or whatever her celeb friends are posting on what hoda insists on calling “insta” since she’s such a young hip mom and all.

I applauded a local reporter who asked a reporter out in the field to ask a stranded motorist what he was thinking driving into the water.  They always tell you to turn around, don't drown.  The guy didn't even answer.

On topic, I am dreading Hoda's return.

[ByaNose]

I wonder if Hoda even wants to return to both shows. I think she's been gone since mid April and doesn't look like she's returning anytime soon. Granted she's under contract but after being home she might be over the working thing. LOL!!! I think Jenna is due in August. It seems like Today has been tight lipped a return date for Hoda, too.

Plus she has a show on Sirius satellite radio. Not sure if it is every day of not, but it is just more sucking up to whoever (whomever?) the guest happens to be.

Also, Savannah is back from vacation, still slouching in her chair.

I can't with Savannah's voice. It always sounds like she was just crying.

I might be late to this party, but what is going on with Natalie?  Was she dumped from LA?  Making a triumphant return to NY mornings? 

[OpalNightstream]

Crap. There’s now a Hoda dance challenge?! Just when I was getting complacent.

[Bronzedog]

I'm not sure why we have to watch Hoda when she's not even back at work.  The dance challenge reminded me of another reason I hate her.  Hoda, not only can you not sing, you cannot even sing badly.  It's worse than that.  MISS YOU, BLAKE!

Dance challenge?  Does she give up dancing for 10 days?

[ByaNose]

Hoda always jumps onto the “in” thing. If a celebrity is doing (insert whatever) it’s cool and she must do it, too. Free Blake!

She left Access Hollywood.  She is still the West Coast Today correspondent and is working on Dateline.  If I were her, I'd continue to live in California and travel/fill in where needed.   Once Hoda comes back from maternity, she's going to be the new big thing even though she isn't new🙄.  Natalie would just get lost in the shuffle.

[Pickles]

I haven’t watched Today in a long time, but Dylan is on the NBC Nightly News giving hurricane updates. Her hair is so dark now and it looks all slicked back? Or just in a ponytail? I can’t really tell. How does she wear it on the show?

She's participating in a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, so maybe she wasn't expecting to do the weather.  She's been wearing her hair up to play.

[ByaNose]

I saw this and Hoda has been gone longer then I thought. I don’t think she misses work. She might miss the perks but not the job. I wonder if she’ll return before Jenna leaves?!

Hoda's video is one of the few updates Today has given since the co-anchor left in mid-April for maternity leave. This spring, Hoda and her boyfriend, Joel Schiffman, adopted a baby girl named Hope Catherine. Together, they also raise their 2-year-old daughter, Haley Joy, who was adopted in 2017. 

Hoda was initially expected to come back in mid-June, but has yet to return. Meanwhile, Jenna Bush Hager is pregnant with her third child (it's a boy) and is expected to give birth in late July or early August.

I wonder if she took vacation on top of maternity leave.  I can't remember when she took her last vacation what with KLG leaving and all.  It doesn't bother me cause I like Craig and Savannah, and I don't watch the 4th hour anymore😜

Just got the news on the West Coast - looks like she colored it back to her natural color.  That is dark:)

[OnTime]

Gosh Jenna cannot carry this show.  Maybe they are putting in zero effort to improve her since she will be off soon. 

[Bronzedog]

I'm thinking about hiring Keith Morrison and asking him to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Blake.  Maybe do a Dateline episode.

[scorpio1031]

Looked at Today.com - saw that Willie and Jenna had a segment on words they mis-pronounce.  Jenna admitted that she pronounces her t's as d's😜

I saw that.  The whole time they were going through their list, I kept yelling. “Gyros!  Gyros!  Someone tell me how to pronounce that!”  But, apparently they didn’t hear me, or, they never use the word.

There has been a lot of speculation over on their FB page that Dylan is preggers, thus the darker hair. She’s also been sporting a baby bump.

Oh you know.....it's a Southern thing🙄.  The example they used was "impordant."  The producer doesn't like it.  Willie says it's endearing.

I was LOL that the producer, Joanna LaMarca" did not like it, I imagine they have talked to her about it.  "Dolly Pardon" indeed 🙂

Well, she comes off like an ignorant twit, and at times simply patronizing with that whole "it's a Southern thing" like you just aren't part of her exclusive clique.  I wonder if they just want to get Hoda back, get Jenna thru her maternity leave, and then when they are both back together, deal with things.  So that's what next year:/  

Supposedly the ratings are up for the 3rd hour, but I would be interested to know how the 4th hour is doing.

Today's show with Savannah and Jenna could not possibly be more boring. zzzzzzzzz

I swear that drove me nuts. She was a teacher for gods sake. Then to hear Jenna mention it and that the producer Joanna actually told her but she still does it is CRAZY!!!

Hoda probably saved up her vacation days and used them after her maternity leave time was up.  I remember Kathie Lee did something similar and she was off for something like two or three months.

Another promo for a kids book written by the Today Show Family, this time one written by Willie's wife.  I don't mind their hustle, but it seems like a host, or someone connected to a host or the show, is on every few months to hawk a children's book.

I think it is time to end "Let's go y'all".

Oh jeebus cripes, when will it end?  I guess Sheinelle's husband is next?  Or Craig's wife?  

I wonder how many books they sell.

Word on the street is that Al's brother-in-law's cousin is shopping around a book idea.  😜

[OpalNightstream]

If experience (for the past 5 years) has taught us anything, it’s that there will be a pregnancy reveal anytime they go off script even a little bit. And we can never get too comfortable because Apparently 50 is the new 25 on this show so anyone can be having a baby at any time. (I am happy for Dylan though)

[junemeatcleaver]

I knew Dylan was pregnant!  I thought she looked it a week or so.

Edited July 17, 2019 by junemeatcleaver

[ByaNose]

I thought Dylan had never been pregnant before they way they were discussing her issues. She already has a kid? Jeez! What is it with TODAY and the constant talk and blabbering about  babies and pregnancy. I wouldn't mind if it was one day but it's.all.the.time. It's before, during and after the baby is born. They always act like no one else has had a kid before. It's so bizzare.

[BuckeyeLou]

I am so happy for Dylan and the news she is having another baby...praying that all goes well for her.  She was very honest with what she went through, and I imagine with everyone else having babies, and talking babies on & on, she was feeling left out.  Her little boy, Calvin, is a cutie.

Those of us without little ones (mine are teens) are also feeling left out! Enough of the baby stuff. I’d imagine the majority of viewers can’t/don’t relate to their privileged personal lives. 

[lovinbob]

Does it bother anyone that Willie's wife gets to promote her book on national TV? A lot of struggling authors could use that kind of PR.

My own daughter is starting testing for IVF this week, so I'm happy to hear of another successful outcome for Dylan.  Gives me hope.
