“Today Show” Executive Says “Good Morning America” Is Now a Tabloid-Style Program
Breaking a nearly three-month silence, Jimmy Bell, the executive producer of The Today Show, defended the decision to fire Ann Curry, while taking some potshots at rival Good Morning America.
Bell told The New York Times that it “was absolutely his call” to fire Curry as the co-anchor of The Today Show, and that Matt Lauer had nothing to do with the decision. He also told the Times that while Curry had earned her shot as a co-anchor, she is now “in the role she is naturally suited for.” Curry is now a special correspondent for the show, which means she will rarely be seen or heard.

I didn’t watch Today when it was a ‘news’ show. I wont be watching Today as a ‘tabloid’ show. What is a ‘Matt Lauer’?
