NBC Fires Matt Lauer

NBC should pull the brinks truck up to Scott Van Pelt's house.

 

Yes, because Jim got handsy.

 

Shit, I gotta watch that episode again!

 

Where is Josh Elliott again?
His rise to glory fascinated me. Nothing but a big, handsome empty suit who, every time you turned around, was getting another promotion.

 

She was not upset with Jim becoming handsy. She was upset her boob popped out.

 

Somewhere out there in that glorious madness.

 

C-SPAN's Washington Journal has been waiting in the bushes all these years, boring hour after boring hour, for every other network to be embroiled in so many scandals that everybody tunes in.

 

Never watched The Office, but I am certainly familiar with The Look.

I used to send very inappropriate IMs to my ex while we were in the office together. She'd send them right back, too. One time, in an all-time ill-advised move, I let one of the other guys on the desk read a few of them.

Of course she found out about it, and the IMs stopped cold. As did the activities described therein. And, rightly so.

 

The blinders some of you have on this is amazing to me.

Three of the four newsrooms I worked in had editors in their late 30s or older who were known, I mean known, within the newsroom to chase after every cute young female reporter to get hired.

I imagine that if those of you who didn't notice it going on asked your female colleagues about their experiences you would get an eye-opening response.

(Full disclosure: I am happily married to a woman who was an intern in one of those newsrooms, and I am sure someone could make hay out of that in the current climate if I were a politician or in some other position of prominence. But we are close in age, I had literally no power in the organization, and we didn't start dating until after her internship ended.)

 

John McArdle! My dude! He's way balder than he was in our college days.
