$13 million a year. Today he earned every penny.

I admit it. I laughed.

Allah you don’t work the day shift do you? Today show, Rosie, etc.

How nice of Rosie O’Donnell to do that. I don’t know what it was that she did, but she looked better than she normally does.

I thought Allah was employed by Hotair?

Please…the vast majority of the time watching is work…hard work.

All the press fit to tell. If it wasn’t for these condensed video clips, I’d probably hang myself to have to sit through a program like this.

I reconize Ms. Piggy, who are the others?

Kini on January 5, 2007 at 12:57 PM

That proves it. The producers of the “Today” show hate Matt Lauer.

Funny, though.

I thought that getting him on the Lindsey Lohan appendectomy was kinda cute… he also spoke truth to power by calling Bryant Gumbel “the worlds biggest liar.”

I love Miss Piggy! Thanks, Allah! I feel like a young kid waiting anxiously for the Muppet Show to come on.

I wonder how long Frank Oz was stuck in the cake before the intro?

kiakjones on January 5, 2007 at 1:06 PM

Another Grim Milestone.

Good Lt on January 5, 2007 at 1:07 PM

I’m very proud to say I haven’t seen the Today Show maybe 1980 or so, on an odd day when I was home sick from high school or something. I’ve never seen the View save for a couple snippets here.

Don’t feel like I’m missing anything than a few hours of brain pabulum. Should anyone ever discern what talent little twerp has, let me know.

Wow. A shallow egocentric puppet with a hand up its ass talking to a shallow egocentric puppet with his head up his ass. What are the odds?

ReubenJCogburn on January 5, 2007 at 1:29 PM

The pig has bad taste.

Texyank on January 5, 2007 at 1:34 PM

I came in to say something about ROSIE.

Great minds think alike. And simultaneously from the looks of it.

OOIIIiiiinnnk.

seejanemom on January 5, 2007 at 1:36 PM

Oh —how bout this—

Isn’t that RACIST to have a pig on?

Think of all the DISENFRANCHISED PRISONER MUSLIM CONVERTS WHO CAN’T CHANGE THE CHANNEL??????????

seejanemom on January 5, 2007 at 1:38 PM

That was nice of Katie to stop by.

vcferlita on January 5, 2007 at 1:41 PM

What’s long and green and smells like pork?

Kermit’s finger.

LMAO – Old joke, but a classic…

Sacwannabe on January 5, 2007 at 1:46 PM

AP – If you laughed at that; your threshold for amusement is VERY low that early in the morning.

Damn zionists!!

Rick on January 5, 2007 at 1:52 PM

Now we know where Rosie was during her “extended vacation” from the View.

Mallard T. Drake on January 5, 2007 at 2:09 PM

Oh, Schweinchen dropped in on relatives…

Entelechy on January 5, 2007 at 2:24 PM

That was nice of Katie to stop by.

vcferlita on January 5, 2007 at 1:41 PM

I laughed so hard at this I nearly fell off my chair! Hah!

Thank you, vc!

kiakjones on January 5, 2007 at 3:07 PM

Rick, nice.

Reuben, ditto.

urbancenturion on January 5, 2007 at 3:18 PM

I’m also impressed that Frank hit that high note…

urbancenturion on January 5, 2007 at 3:22 PM

LOL!

Hey, I watched the video and it sounded like Miss Piggy had a little frog in her throat…

CliffHanger on January 5, 2007 at 4:01 PM

This was the funniest HotAir comment thread ever. Reuben, seejanemom, Rick you guys cracked me up for the entire day. Thanks.

Oh stop the snarky comments. Miss Piggy is an American institution and one of the best characters ever invented.

She was great as usual and even Lauer played to her well.

It’s Friday. It’s OK to lighten up and have some fun. It’s actually OK to enjoy something like this.

Frank Oz and Jim Henson (God rest his soul) were absolutly brilliant and we’re better for it.

Geez, not everything has to be bitchy, does it?

Holy cowmackeralpig! You thought of that, too…lol.

SouthernGent on January 5, 2007 at 7:23 PM

Oh, Miss Piggy. How could you. Come to think of it, there is something rather froggish about Matt.

Glynn on January 5, 2007 at 7:34 PM

All I can say is that Rosie never looked so good.
