Jacobs, who is case model #21 on the hit NBC game show, is not just another pretty face. She made national headlines before she was even able to speak when she was the centerpiece of a groundbreaking and racially charged custody battle.

Who the hell cares where Matt Lauer is?!?

Thursday, May 3rd, 2007

After careful consideration of the all the candidates, I, Dr. Blogstein, am ready to throw my support behind a morning news program.

After nearly 15 years as a loyal viewer of NBC’s Today, I am forced to jump ship and am now proud to endorse American Morning on CNN. Forced by the utter nonsense that Today tries to pass off as news.

It used to be that I can at least count on hard-hitting news, stories and interviews for the entire first hour of the program, from 7-8. Now, Anna Nicole stories, American Idol analysis and fashion and relationship segments have seeped in as early as 7:15! That, combined with the Ann Curry’s awkward interview style and painful “off the cuff” chatter and Al Roker’s insufferable shtick have launched me into the welcoming arms of Kiran Chetry and John Roberts.

CNN’s American Morning was really the only viable option when searching for a replacement for Today. Good Morning America was nixed. I’ve never been a real fan of Diane Sawyer, I find her bland, and I can’t take Robin Roberts seriously as I’ll always think of her as a SportsCenter anchor.

I don’t get the CBS Early Show. I mean, obviously I get it, it shows up on channel 2–I just can’t tell who the anchors are, seems like there are dozens of them. Plus Julie Chen, one of those anchors, is married to the president of CBS and that just rubs me the wrong way.

There’s too much cackling on Fox & Friends. Not only that, but I’m convinced that the show only exists to provide a platform for its hosts to plug all the books they’ve written. It’s like a two-hour-long commercial with that crew!

So, that leads me to CNN’s American Morning. Now, I wake up to news. I find out what happened while I was asleep and what may be happening that day. They have interesting interviews about important topics with intelligent news anchors. It’s exactly what I have been longing for oh so long. It’s exactly what Today used to be.
