“Today” Show Made a Mistake, but “GMA” Was More Embarrassing

Share

Yes, the “Today” show made a mistake this morning. They didn’t have the moment of silence for 9/11 victims and survivors. Instead they interviewed someone. If it had been someone serious or worthy of any time, no one would have cared. But Kris Jenner, madam of the Kardashians? Discussing breast implants? Oh my. The lowest of the low, you might say.

But really, over at “Good Morning America” today, things were much much worse. Jessica Simpson, famous at this point for nothing, was coming to co-host the 8-9am hour. They touted it all morning like grinning idiots. George Stephanopoulos was absolutely giddy. And then when she arrived, during the same hour of the 9/11 anniversary, GMA had a more than four minute segment of a game show called “What Do You Know About Jess?” or something. It was the most embarrassing thing that show has done in a while.
