NBC, the answer is clear: no.
Possible alternatives include Willie Geist, Al Roker and David Gregory. None of them could take place Matt. Geist has a long way to go before viewers know and are familiar with him, and at the end of this long process, there is no guarantee they will. Gregory has not exactly lit on stage in "Meet the Press" and I suspect that viewers of "Today" does not like anyway. And "like" is a big part of that equation.
Finally, Al: Never, not now, not millions of years. All artists such as Al, but also many years of antics and silly costumes, and is a resident prankster have effectively removed it, and also the suggestion seriously. So out.
Lester Holt? Why not get Lester Holt named on these lists? Good question, and I suppose the answer is that NBC did not give his name. So good and solid as Holt is, he lacks that vital loose and easily beats the jurisdiction of a "Today" host must have. It is solid - and a good and smart and all those beautiful things. But the tune that personality deficient. And that's just how it goes.
Carl Quintanilla CNBC? There is a possible candidate, but as in "Today" public know? Again - it takes years to groom a successor, not weeks or months.
Who's left? Sorry. None. David Bloom if he were alive, would be the heir apparent, and the weekend "Today" anchor, which was clearly the get-go.
smart person told me to keep an eye on this question: who will replace Ann Curry, if you feel more of Meredith Vieira, as many expect? Reason: the person who replaces him, probably a man, is the person who replaces Matt. Do not forget - Matt was news again from -94, and had three good years long (but it was also a "Today in New York), before moving to
The fact is that, replacing Matt did three long years. He has one year and eight months. It is a nod in terms of "Today."
