Following in the footsteps of previous NBC anchors, Hoda Kotb gave us a sloppy report of her Super Bowl trip. Kathie Lee, back in New York, sober—and probably jealous—decided to let us in on how Hoda hasn't slept yet.

One would think that the men brought in for a "Guys Tell All" segment would would say provocative things of the day. Instead, it's Kathie Lee, who turned the conversation to an immature level. Would you expect any less?

This is more evidence that the 4th hour of Today is where all bad segments go to die. Today's WTF-worthy segment of horror? A segment on Doggie Boot Camp. Everyone participates in this embarrassment and we, the viewers, win.

Today at Gawker.TV, Piers Morgan is a creep, The Dana Carvey Show is reborn, Charles Barkley impersonates Alicia Keys, Lindsay Lohan shows her charitable side, and we take a look at the lessons to be learned from The Late Shift.

Last week Piers Morgan filled in, making everyone uncomfortable as he hit on Hoda. We noticed, as did The Soup, and today Kathie Lee claimed he wore her underwear while she was away. We're guessing he won't be invited back.

When Kathie Lee's outta town, America's Got Talent's Piers Morgan comes to play. This morning, the two discussed types of underwear. Piers to Hoda: "The idea of you in a thong? Exciting!" Quick, let's cut to the baby pandas!!

Today at Gawker.TV, Andy Rooney is lonesome tonight, a grumpy anchor puts a damper on the newsroom's celebrations, Kathie Lee tries to sing again, more laughs at Steven Segall's reality show, and MANswers: the worst television show we've ever seen.

In true fashion, KLG and Hoda finished the year off by attempting to sing all the words to Auld Lang Syne. Kathie Lee seems drunk already and gets all diva-tastic on our asses. Happy New Year to us all!

Kathie Lee, champion of housewives who enjoy a cocktail or five during the AM hours, appeared a little drunk on Today. While discussing her disdain for technology, she valiantly tries to make a point. What comes out is barely English.

More moments of "I-can't-believe-this-is-actually-on-the-air" occurred on the 4th hour of Today this morning when Kathie Lee explained her difficulty understanding the phrase "like white on rice." Instead of keeping to herself, she makes an absurd spectacle out of her ignorance.

We're all entitled to give ourselves a pat on the pack once in a while. Today brought self-congratulatory to a whole new level this morning in a twelve-minute-long video of their favorite moments of the year. Cue the insanity!

While sharing her "old family recipe" for holiday cookies on the Today Show, Hoda Kotb demonstrated her culinary expertise, burning her hand and swearing on live television in the family tradition.

Kathie Lee Gifford rose to fame sitting next to Regis Philbin and talking about her personal life ad nauseam. Now that she co-hosts the Today show's daily dose of wacky, what is the one subject she won't broach?

Due to an unfortunate run in with an Elle magazine intern we were unable to watch The City last night. However there is one intrepid reporter who can not be kept down, and she was there to fill us in.

On Wednesday America was treated to video of the first lady's undulating rear when she competed in a hula hoop contest. Now the hip-swiveling sensation is sweeping the nation, one awkward female news anchor at a time.

Journalism continues staggering pushes forward on an otherwise ordinary Sunday! In the great "tradition" of mixing up people like Matt Lauer and Meredith Viera with public drunks like Hoda and Kathy Lee, The Today Show's newest hire? Jenna Bush. Whee!

Twins Charlotte and Samantha Ronson turn 32 today. David Duchovny is turning 49. Charlize Theron is 34. Author and radio personality Garrison Keillor is 67. Conservative political commentator Alan Keyes turns 59. Wayne Knight, the actor best known for playing Newman on Seinfeld, is turning 54. And Jimmy Wales, the co-founder of Wikipedia, is 43 today—at least according to his Wikipedia page. A handful of weekend birthdays—including that of Michael Kors, Chris Cuomo and Dustin Hoffman—follow below.

In your cackling Wednesday media column: Hoda Kotb describes her love of working with the mentally ill, Conde Nast's other McKinsey go-around, an intern is led astray by J-School demons, and Janice Min denies everything.

A different Real Housewife will co-host the fourth hour of the Today Show every day next week. Kathie Lee is on vacation, so the producers figured they needed new screeching weirdos. Bethenny we're happy about. Tamra? Not so much. [B&C]
