Showing Original Post only (View all)Willie Geist - rec if you think he should be the new Today Show host [View all]
By now everybody probably knows that Matt Lauer is out after 20+ years as the host of NBC's iconic Today Show.
So who's going to replace Matt Lauer? Maybe Willie Geist, who has been a frequent fill-in host while Matt or somebody else was out on vacation. Also he's been a regular on MSNBC for several years. Maybe Willie deserves the nod to be the permanent replacement on Today?

He's been a quasi-host on Morning Joe for a decade. And subbed on NBC shows as host.

He's good and well liked. Don't know if his personality is light enough to do the human interest

Don't care. Haven't watched Today in years. Geist is just a space filler anyway

No. Geist fits the bill. I was responding to the post suggesting Tamron Hall.

I don't think Kelly will get top spot. She's not doing well. I think they'll go with a man.

And he's the smarmy sidekick on MJ now. "Tim, nice but dim" He'd be ideal for Today - plastic.
