Never forget that the NBC leadership knew what was going on and did its best to steer people away from exposing the perps and making the network endure scandals. They did no better by the victims than Fox did. Matt Lauer still managed to walk away very, very rich. He is still not in prison.

Ronin Farrow remembers how NBC treated him when he was trying to get Weinstein and Farrow wrote all about it. They are the MSM, and no, they are not liberal, despite the Rachel Maddow bearding.

DemoCat - I’d delete this reply. It’s not going age well. You’re #notallmen and then lame attempt at rape jokes on Wonkette aren’t needed any more than Billy Bush on TV.

I hate to tell you this but they probably wore matching shirts deliberately.

Since this was doing coverage of the Olympics I'm guessing they wore matching shirts as if they were on a team. I could be wrong but that is the kind of corny crap that happens in tv production every day.

DirecTV was just their biggest provider. Something like 70% of their viewers saw them there. But they are still carried on several other places including Verizon so they aren't dead yet, unfortunately.

Billy obsessing over the Today Show after only two months feels like a guy whining about how he almost had Scarlett Johannson 20 years ago because she waited to slap him until after he'd introduced himself, slurred a bad pickup line, and then grabbed her boob.

I didn't watch the first Today show back in 1952 but I notice that Dave Garroway's preamble includes a grammatical clam. "Between you and I." Ugh.

I also notice that no mention was made of Sylvester "Pat" Weaver who created the program. Does NBC still hold a grudge against him?

Or maybe the world where you go to the fucking store yourself. Who could imagine that!?

He was with the show for 2 months out of 70 years, I am sure many others had longer tenures and were not included, but do you hear them whining like a trump? No, you don't.

Nothing like a John Ford joint.
