Chekhov's Mistress
No Post TODAY and this is why..
I took my 88 year old grandmother, who was visiting from an indeterminate southern state, to the Today Show, otherwise known as the Matt and Katie show.
Standing around with nothing better to do than to hold my grandmother’s purse and loathe the entire planet, I began to put on my observation cap. The Today Show plays the audio for the live audience during the actual program but not during the commercials. Mere minutes, mere, minutes of this three hour show are actual programming and the rest amounts to one long running ad for incredibly useful household products! It’s clear by now that I had not had my coffee beforehand.
For most of the morning my only hope in the world was that Matt Lauer would show his rich pretty-boy face on the set (Katie is on vacation). He did. Still, after being jostled amongst the philistines for forty minutes, all my grandmother could say was, “Well, Katie wasn’t there.”
If you’re curious, Matt’s ear can be seen in the top of the picture, just to the left of center.
