The northeast snowstorm is playing havoc with the Today show crew. Most of the team is stuck in Miami Beach, if you can call sitting by the pool at the Loews Hotel, stuck. Meredith Vieira, Ann Curry, Hoda Kotb and Natalie Morales are waiting out the storm, while Matt Lauer made it to Michigan for a shoot and Al Roker is on his way to LA to cover the Oscars.
They’ll be returning to New York to good news: The Today show won the ratings race last week with a 21% advantage (1.065M Total Viewers) over Good Morning America. Today has outperformed GMA, six of the past seven weeks by at least 1M+ Total Viewers.
Today show executive-in-charge Phil Griffin tells TVNewser, “This group of people is connecting in such a positive way, and you see it on the air.”
