Wow, I didn't know until tonight's show

that Billy Bush is leaving. (I don't follow Today Show news so I guess I'm out of the loop.) Darn it, this is bad news. His humor (and esp that giggle) has been my favorite thing about this show. He's always kept things on track and more interesting than the blather perpetuated by others. And, best of all, he doesn't change his voice to that ridiculous sing-song others always have (Nancy O'Dell, Debbie Matanopoulus, etc.).

I'll check out Natalie Morales next week, but not holding out a lot of hope. What happened to the days of reporting show business news without all the ridiculous fluff? I still miss Mary Hart. Yes, her voice could get on your nerves, but she was all business.
