Not a fan, never was. I never understood the hype about her. Because I don't like her political leanings, I love to watch her after or during elections. She'd can't hide her emotions and is a hoot to watch. Anyone remember how distraught she was when working w/ Tom Brokaw in 2000? He was actually laughing about her and she was so upset. Then wearing black after this one. Ya gotta laugh at those moments.
I actually like Matt Lauer because he hides his leanings pretty well and does good interviews and has a good sense of humor by teasing her about her cheapness and such. The joke around their group is that she is not just frugal, but cheap cheap cheap.
I also HATE the way she interviews. Her interview questions are 10 sentences long and they aren't even questions, more like monologues. The person being interviewed has to agree or disagree w/ her, but usually doesn't answer because there was no question to answer. I also go crazy when she "throws" in a new word for the day.... usually a 3 or more syllable, difficult word that she just inserts into an interview monologue to show how smart she is. You can tell the sentence only exists so she can use that word of the day. It usually has nothing to do w/ the interview. One time, this person being interviewed joked about it and tried to use her "big" word in a sentence a few times just to solidify his point of her going overboard w/ the spelling/definition teachings. It was really funny.
I admire her fight on colon cancer and I'm am sorry for her loss. Her DH was too young. But she makes me ill too w/ her fake perkiness. I've seen perky, and perky doesn't bother me. But she has something behind the perkiness, the "eat you up and spit you out" type personality which makes the sweet, sunny, perkiness seem like just facade to me. Oh and she is so very messy and highly unorganized. It drives Matt nuts.
I'm going to have to try GMA. I hear great things and haven't switched over yet. I really should check it out.
