For the first, there's nothing to say that she has an exclusivity or non-compete clause in whatever contract she's struck up with FNC.

I don't ever watch Today or indeed any other of those network morning shows. I'm always out the door before they come on anyway. The last time I watched Today, Jane Pauley wore those horrible orange and brown outfits that dominated the '70s for no readily explicable reason, and Gene Shalit did movie reviews with that ridiculous hair and outrageous mustache.
