Is It Time For Tom Touchet To Go?

> Update: 1:50am: FTVLive didn’t break the story, John Cook’s ReferenceTone did. “Tom Touchet…is getting canned, according to a well-placed source. Or being politely encouraged to embark on a new career as Jeff Zucker’s poolboy. Can’t remember which. An announcement is imminent.”

Today Show E.P. Tom Touchet “could be catching the blade by the end of this week,” FTVLive reports. TVNewser has learned that some NBC insiders have concluded Touchet must be removed. VP Lisa Hsia is overseeing the morning show operation, and Neal Shapiro and Jeff Zucker are frequently checking in. Don Nash has been heading up many of the day-to-day tasks. But Nash apparently isn’t the solution, either. Who would step up to bat and replace Touchet? How about Michael Weisman? More on that later today…
