Meredith Vieira expressly denied being drunk while tweeting this lengthy stream of drunk consciousness, but it's unclear how else one might explain it.

In your mild Wednesday media column: HuffPo is coming for your teenagers, AOL's iPad magazine looms, Meredith Vieira is not an insane morning person, media redesigns of the moment, and journalists are good at everything.

Today was Today show anchor Meredith Vieira's last day on the program. It was a very solemn occasion where they took time to recall her important moments like dancing with the Rockettes, falling down while ice skating, being attacked by Robin Williams and Russell Brand, polishing Colin Firth's trophy, and interviewing world leaders like Barack Obama and Miss Piggy.

Donald Trump's latest stop on his pretend presidential campaign that's solely designed to boost ratings for The Celebrity Apprentice was an interview with Meredith Vieira on this morning's Today show, where he discussed Barack Obama's birth certificate. He now has his own "investigators" in Hawaii digging around for it, and they "cannot believe what they're finding." That's hilarious. How is that not hilarious? Mitt Romney only wishes he'd thought of this first.

Is Matt Lauer quitting Today, too? A day after TV Guide reported that his co-host Meredith Vieira plans on leaving at the end of her contract, Entertainment Tonight reports the same thing about Lauer. It must be Roker's fault, right?

According to TV Guide, Today co-host Meredith Vieira will leave the show when her contract expires later this year. She's apparently "weary of the demanding early morning hours," which we assume is code for "sick of Matt Lauer." [TV Guide]

Taping in Rockefeller Center sure is dangerous, and not because of all the annoying tourists. Today while taping in the outdoor plaza, a crazy person hopped the barricade and lunged for hosts Meredith Vieira, Al Roker, and an android known as the Willie Geist 3000. Don't worry, no weathermen were injured in the making of this film.

Glenn Beck appeared on Today this morning to defend his violent rhetoric, telling Meredith Vieira that he was only joking—just like Jon Stewart! Tonight, Stewart tried to make sense of the comparison before inviting Beck on his show.

This morning on the Today Show, Ted Williams and his mother Julia sat down with Meredith Vieira for a lengthy and in-depth conversation. They discussed their fractured relationship and hopes for the future after the events of this week.

The Ted Williams story keeps rolling on: this morning, he was in an audio booth announcing the Today Show. Those pipes have gotten a lot of work in the past few days, but they still sound pristine.

One day after her Manhattan book signing (which I went to!), Ina Garten stopped by The Today Show this morning to prepare a delicious and easy meal—complete with jokes about breasts and nuts! How bad can that be?

This morning on Today, the show's anchors took dressing up for this weekend's holiday to the extreme. Superman, Lady Gaga, and Justin Bieber were among their choices — and Tina Fey and Will Ferrell came dressed as their Megamind characters. But nothing was as, er, surprising as Natalie Morales' Justin Bieber.

This morning, Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Robert Zemeckis talked a little about their memories of making the movies and the impact that they've had on our culture on the today Show. It's just great stuff.

Former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich is a TV whore again, following his anti-climactic corruption trial. On the Today show this morning, Meredith Vieira pressed him on whether he'd return to reality TV now — maybe Jersey Shore? He'll consider it.

Old people make the world go 'round. In this clip from this morning's Today Show, the seemingly senile Bill Cosby tells Meredith Vieira that she's got a "load in her pants." How did Meredith retaliate? With a bitch slap.

Isn't it great when the Today Show slips up? This morning while introducing a segment aptly titled "I Love My Children. I Hate My Life," Meredith called New York magazine's Jennifer Senior a "single mom." That's when things got tense.

Today at Gawker.TV, Kristin Chenowith can'ts top talking about her vagina on the The Late Show, game show contestants fly off of buildings, stormtroopers invade the 6 train, and Al Roker takes a longing glance at Meredith Vieira's breasts.

After catching Al Rocker taking a peek at her chest, Meredith Vieira proudly recites the classic Seinfeld line, confirming that her boobs are real, but the spectacular part is still up for debate.

This morning, Meredith Vieira interviewed a thirteen year-old girl who is a possible accomplice in a beating that resulted from a text message war. She mentioned some of the language used, including one word not appropriate for television.
