Why People Watch The Fourth Hour Of Today, Or don't

There are reasons why the fourth of NBC's Today is spectacular. One of them is because it is such a hot mess.

It started off pretty normal. Matt Laurer even walked us in!

There we saw Natalie Morales, Ann Curry and Hoda Kotb. Brilliant news women, Emmys galore...

Then everything changed

NBC replaced Ann Curry and Natalie Morales with this girl.

Dear Lord, it's Kathie Lee Gifford! This could be good, maybe? No, this cannot turn out well..

This shift from interesting chat to absolute trainwreck led to this

And this...

Good lord this is ridiculous! Why can't I stop?

Let's not forget this!!!

And Sam apologized? He just told them to be quiet!

However, the reasons remain the same. Some people, like I enjoy watching this trainwreck of a program. It is random and always lively. However, there are valid grounds which the haters have. Is it too early to drink at that time in the morning? For some people, yes. Can it be lacking in professionalism? Well, that goes without saying. This duo even got Anderson Cooper drunk.

Is this article a shame on Kathie Lee and Hoda for being drunk on television? No. This is a keep doing what you're doing, ladies because you're giving late night hosts and BuzzFeed community contributors (like myself) the best kind of ammo. The words out of your own mouths.

I'd also like to thank Hoda Kotb for her contributions to Dateline, especially when Keith Morrison is on vacation.

So, Kathie Lee and Hoda, while the fourth hour isn't really anything special keep doing what you do!
