New York 03-The Today Show Window

When the Today Show first went on the air, there was a window in the studio that looked out on the streets of Manhattan. A few years ago, NBC revamped The Today Show studio and reintroduced the Window on the World. Since then, it has become a popular tourist stop, and the show/s competitors at CBS and ABC have followed suit.

Weatherman Al Roker routinely reports the weather from outside with the crowd. The shows cohosts, Katie Couric and Matt Lauer, usually don/t venture outside until the 8:30 break. They all do a little reporting and a lot of mingling, and they do seem to enjoy their time with their fans.

And from the outside, you can usually watch the Today Show in production, with news, interviews, guest shots and all the activity behind the camera that goes into putting on the show.

The Today Show is produced at Rockefeller Center, near 49th Street.

I am writing you from Toronto Canada.Last week Katie Couric interviewed a gentleman regarding health.He suggested that drinking Coffee helped Parkinsons symptoms.Coffee has no dopamine in it and the relief is very temporary.I have the condition and am making an effort to overcome it with the help of a gentleman from Austraila who actually overcame it himself.In fact coffee in the long run actually contributes to the initional effect of the condition.As I said I have the condition and I am very active.I just don,t want other people who have this condition to be misinformed.I can be contacted at 416 789-9169.There are natural ways that work with medicine that will allow people to overcome this,it is true!!!! Sincerely;Sam Nassar Toronto Canada.I would welcome the opertunity to educate your viewers on this matter!!

Please, give me a break. Katie and Matt make about $65,000 a day to drink coffee, interview famous people, attempt to make salads and other foods during cooking segments, and other extremely grueling tasks. Every so often they put on their concerned faces and report a sad story. How dare the NBC Execs offer them that kind of money. I have to bust my ass for a year to make a little more they make in a day, correction, half a day. Actually, there is one downside to the job, Matt Lauer has to force himself to TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD FOR WEEK. (That must suck)
