Don't worry, it's almost over.

 

Here's the Paula Froelich, formerly of Page Six, take on Today host Ann Curry's ouster. (She hasn't been wrong yet.)

"Meredith Viera has turned down Today job - it was offered to her - she said no thanks...  Ann Curry went on air yesterday - even though Today had told Hoda Kotb to do the morning. Ann showed up and was like "Thats still my job!" ... #Today plan was to have [Savannah] Guthrie take over - Hoda fill in for a fw weeks so that viewers do not blame Guthrie for Ann leaving #NBC." [Paula Froelich]
