Warming Up To The Return Of Old Girl

[Blind Gossip] There is a rumor going around about a casting change at a top daytime show.

The rumor is that an Old Girl is coming back to her old show!

Yes, it’s true that they want her back. We’ve been telling you this for over a year!

However, there are some problems with bringing her back.

The cast is full. They can’t just shoehorn her in. She would either have to replace someone or go to a less-prime time slot.

Let’s talk about having her replace one of the top two current women on the show.

There’s a problem with her replacing one woman.

She is the BFF of the Executive Producer. Doubtful that producer would let that happen without a major fight.

There’s also a problem with her replacing the other woman.

They can’t be seen replacing a Person of Color with a white woman.

We are not sure what they are going to do. The only thing we are sure of is that her current assignment at a major event is designed to help audiences – and the existing cast- warm up to the idea of having her around again.

Is it working?

  3. Old Girl: Katie Couric
    Show: Today

    Katie is currently hosting the Winter Olympics – saw her do a segment right before the games started with Hota and Savannah and they all seemed very chummy.

  4. Katie Couric
    Today

    I haven’t seen her coverage yet but I would welcome her back in the 9 o’clock hour with a co-host or two. Jenna Bush Hager may do well with her. They can kick Megyn Kelly to the curb.

    • That’s A LOT of money to throw in the garbage….as much as we all want it to happen (MK)

    • I’m pretty sure Ann Curry would not be considered the white woman in this case, otherwise she would be my guess too.

  10. Old Girl: Barbara Walters
    Show: The View

    How is this show still on the air? Who wants to hear a bunch of people talking over each other for an hour every day…?

    • Barbara Walters is reportedly not in good health, and it would be impossible for her to do this. Early-stage Alzheimers?

  11. Katie Couric at The Today Show. How about leaving Hoda and Savannah where they are and replace Megan Kelly w/ Katie Couric?

  17. The old girl is Katie Couric.

    The TV show is today.

    Optional: I was surprised when she was announced as a commentator for the Olympics. I tune in only if I want to watch a certain event. So far no Katie. She bored me on her talk show, I just couldn’t relate to her.

    Today Show
    She made a comment on the reason the Dutch are so good at skating that irked the Dutch, but she is the best bet for bringing back the popularity of the Today show & bringing me back as a viewer. Hoda is great, but Savannah–meh, & I do not care about her BFF. Producers abound. People love Katie, & that is more important + she has the chops. I gave up on Today when Katie left, but I’d be willing to come back for her. Morning Joe is getting a little a bit lazy.

    • It may have irked the Dutch but it also made headlines around the world, thank you twitter, and made her a laughing stock. Surely there’s better talent from a new generation?

    I have a strong hunch this is going to be very unpopular but here goes :).
    I think she’s doing great on her current assignment. She’s warm and funny, smart as a whip and witty. She’s an absolute natural. Yes, I would love for her to come back full time. I have missed her and I would watch again. NBC should do whatever it takes, even if it means replacing Savannah AND her BFF Executive Producer.

    Optional: The little I’ve seen of the Olympics, I haven’t noticed her. So no idea. I did see something about the Dutch being upset with her but I didn’t get to hear the story.
