...they should get back Ann Curry. Get back Natalie Morales, or Tamron Hall. Believe it or not, some of the old NBC show hosts have fans who remember them from years ago. I even saw Katie Couric's name mentioned.

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.
