Could Anderson Cooper be the next face of the “Today” show?

A new report from Deadline.com claims Cooper is being considered to replace Matt Lauer on the struggling morning show.

Deadline reported NBC execs have already reached out to Cooper to discuss the possibility. The report claims once Lauer got wind of the idea he was very unhappy.

Sources, however, told TMZ the opposite, saying Lauer is in favor of Cooper stepping in to replace him. The “Today” star has reportedly planned a meeting with Cooper to discuss the possible transition.

Either way, an NBC executive confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that reps at the network spoke with Cooper, saying NBC had "exploratory talks with talent inside and outside of the network. But to read anything specific into that is presumptuous."

It won’t be Megyn, looks like she pissed off all of NBC with her little speech about Lauer and making it all about herself.

I presume that every candidate for the "Today" show will be carefully vetted about their personal lives going back many years.

I also presume that some candidates will decline being considered, knowing that they have done some things in their past that would probably come to light if they were to assume such a high-profile position.

Turn them off. All of them.

Andy Cooper? Cool. Guess they'll have a few more decorating, cooking, wine tasting, etc. segments to occasionally slip into their Russia, Russia, Russia obsessive compulsive programming. I'm sure the LGBTQXYZers will be saying, "Dilly! Dilly!"
