Let's bring a couple of old blog entries up to date...It's official or real close: Meredith Vieira will leave Today in June to attend to family matters. She'll remain on syndie Millionaire, though, which apparently demands less time.
This will set off a couple promotions on Today. Ann Curry takes over Meredith's job, and Natalie Morales takes over Ann's old gig as newsreader. Gee, I could read the news for that kind of money. Announcements on all the moves should come next week, according to the Hollywood Reporter story.
Another old blog entry of mine dumped on Queen for a Day, the queasy rags-to-riches gamer from the fifties. Proving that old cheese never dies, at least on TV, the format recently enjoyed a successful run in Puerto Rico.
Now the producers want a chance at the mainland U.S. market. But can they ever find a host so creepily perfect for the show as Jack Bailey?
