Mr. Scates - your admiration for this lady is somewhat legendary. And, up till now, I thought she was "OK" at best.

But tonight, she was on the Conan show, wearing all black, with kneehigh black leather boots. And the attitude to match....

So, I just wanted to take this opportunity to say..... MMMMMMMMMM

[Argento]

I'm a Star Jones fan myself, when you see that ass naked I mean it's

[pscates2.0]

Told you, FFL.

I know what I'm talkin' about...

[_Ω_]

I have followed this thread for all 3 posts. Can I just say, "WTF?"

[johnq]

Can I add a "meh"?

[709]

"meredith es hot"?

You can if you can control that temper and refrain from name-calling.

I wonder if the Conan show, on its website, keeps video clips or photos of guest appearances? Off to find out...

Details, FFL? When you say "black knee-high leather boots, and attitude to match", I'm gonna need you to elaborate just a bit...

[DMBand0026]

Everyone stand clear. And paul, make sure the celling fans are off in your house.

Eugene, is that movie link work-friendly? I'm kinda afraid to click it right now...

Nevermind...I took a chance. That's my girl, Caitlin! Meow!

Conan missed a PERFECT setup by Meridith last night.

She was talking about a contest she had with Star Jones over the Sox-Yankees series. She's explaining it, saying "if the Sox had lost, I was going to be dunked in a vat of baked beans. They had the vat and the beans all ready. And if the Yankees lost..."

I was totally waiting for Conan to say "she would have to EAT the vat of beans?"



I guess I can see him not saying it. You don't want the fat people pissed off at you.

But I guess Star dressed up like Johnny Damon, wig and all, and sang some song on their show. I'm guessing that looked just a little bit funny.

Paul would have blown a gasket at the show last night, she had a story about how she was walking past some guy backstage at the show, and she walked past and put her hand down to pat his side or something, and she ended up grabbing his penis. She's like "so I had his penis in my hand, and I held it for a second, thinking it was his hand or something." She gave it a second squeeze, realized what it was, and was too embarassed to say much. She nodded and walked away. She even had Conan walk around the desk to demonstrate how she did it... without the penis squeeze though.

Too bad more women don't greet men this way!

Yeah, sounds weird, I'm just the messenger. heh

I can imagine the facial expression he made to the camera when she suggested the demo. I imagine it was either the bug-eyed, desk-grabbing mock terror look, OR the sly, eyebrow-arching "ain't I a smoothie?" look and accompanying devious chuckle.

He's so funny. I'm bummed I missed it. Doesn't it replay on Comedy Central the next day? What time? I might have a second chance!

I never see her on "The View" because I'm at work, but when you watch her on "Millionaire" or whatever, you can't help but think "you know, I bet she'd..." then you proceed to fill in the blank with hundreds of hardcore, perverted comments and scenarios.

Don't you? Anyone? Hello? No, I don't either then...



She's a full-tilt vixen, I'm betting. She always has that "I've just heard the filthiest joke in the universe, but I can't repeat it right now...but let's have drinks later, and I'll tell you..." look to her. Which I kinda dig in a woman.

[SKMDC]

she is sexy, but her chins are getting out of control and when she goes sleeveless she has a Hi-Helen problem.

[drewprops]

Paul, she's not working out for me.
I don't think she's going to last....

[pscates2.0]

Wow...there are bumps, and then there are BUMPS! I'd forgotten all about this thread (being TWO YEARS OLD, and all)...



Are you talking about her "Today" gig, drew? She seems to be doing okay to me. At her absolute worst she's still 10x more likable and natural than Katie Couric ever came across.

But that's just me. If there's anyone "not going to last", it's probably Couric and her CBS News thing.

What aren't you liking?

[_Ω_]

Are we discussing Meredith's bumps?

[Bryson]

Meredith....who?

[_Ω_]

Blasphemer!

Are you kidding me?

This thread is worthless with pictures.

[usurp]

I thought everyone was talking about Meredith GREY from the tvshow...

[_Ω_]

Prepare for the wrath....

[turbulentfurball]

Not James Meredith?

Whatever float's FFL's boat.

pscates too.

[torifile]

At the risk of pissing off scates, I've got to say that I really don't like Viera. I generally don't like morning tv, but I can no longer even stand having the TODAY show ON at all because of her.

edit: if you haven't seen this, you should.

[chucker]

Meredith.

[pscates2.0]

It's all good, fellas. It ain't like I'm married to her or anything, you insolent, no-taste-havin' chuckleheads.



torifile, like drew above, can you elaborate? Just kinda curious. She doesn't strike me as that off-putting (compared to who's been in that spot before, and especially to some other TV personalities).



What's your beef? Are you sure it's not due to Lauer's yuppie smirk, Al Roker's nonstop buffoonery and Ann Curry's bubbleheaded, always-messing-with-her-hair mannerisms? Meredith is the only one out of the bunch who doesn't make me want to change the channel. In fact, when Matt's doing one of his bullcrap interviews or Al's schticking his way through the weather like a mentally disturbed Vaudevillian, I usually DO turn the channel.

[torifile]

torifile, like drew above, can you elaborate? Just kinda curious. She doesn't strike me as that off-putting (compared to who's been in that spot before, and especially to some other TV personalities).

I think that it's her "over-friendly" way. She acts like she's everyone's best friend when she just got there. That video clip summed it up perfectly. That just annoys me to no end. I know that part of it is the "job" and I think that's why when Katie was on there it didn't bother me so much - the way she behaved was appropriate given her long time on the show. Meredith just seems like she's trying to BE Katie and not herself.

To be honest, that show always annoyed me anyway. How they just rush through everything that's remotely interesting so that they could pimp NBC's next big show. I actually never watched it of my own volition - my wife would have it on and I'd watch. Lately, I just turn it off. So, in a way, she's doing me a favor.

[drewprops]

There's no doubt in my mind that the show has become a pastiche of itself over the last decade, including Al's almost robotic delivery of the weather. His bid to slip into sitcom-land bounced a bit high and hard in the mid-90's as he realized the network would never let him him off the ranch. Look what happened to poor Andy Richter when he left Conan's show... they've done everything they can do on that show and I'm sure they may long to head to new pastures, just like Katie, even if it did look like the stay there might not last too long (like Katie).

But to the point: Meredith.

One of the things that the major markets get from the Today Show is a little friendly banter between a host and the local morning newscasters. In Atlanta there's a woman who's been talking to Matt and Katie for years and they have a truly friendly rapport. Certainly when introduced into this arrangement Meredith would be dealing with strangers, but even a month into it I have yet to see her stop rattling off her assigned segment teasers and stop to chat, all friendly-like, with the locals. It's mechanical and a bit cold, as if she were a movie star doing the last local interview for a 5 day press junket... she seems as if she wants to hurry up and get it over with.

It could be nerves or a general dislike for being run through a pre-ordained cattle call or me reading way more into the situation than is really there, but her delivery sure seems a little stilted.

I think it looked like Matt slings her hand away more than he really did, but I understand that he may be a clean freak and probably doesn't like touching people's hands because they might be germy. I've seen other strange encounters between them (mentioned elsewhere on AN), but am not surprised that other people are noticing.

It's just not the right chemistry for me yet. First they gave us the hospital set, now the hostess who seems fake. I don't need Katie back, but I'm not feeling the love for Meredith.

Can we pitch around her and throw to the next batter?

[FFL]

I think I've seen the Today Show around 10 times in my entire life. Certainly, I've not seen it since Meredith joined the show.

I sleep completely through its airtime most every day, anyway.
