Today on Today: Picking at the Old Wounds of Heartbreak
A private moment displayed on network television.
This morning the Today show reached whole new levels of painfully awkward. Jazz trumpeter Chris Botti came on to promote his new album and was introduced by Katie Couric — who just happened to famously date Botti after the death of her husband. Um, how about some disclosure, NBC? That would, you know, help to explain why he put a $2 million dollar diamond necklace around her neck before his performance. Then Katie cut to commercial, breaking Botti's heart all over again.
Live television can be so cruel.
