Everyone at Today Wants Savannah Guthrie to Stop Being Big All the Time and Just Be Smaller For Once Ugh

Ann Curry may have freaked out the Today show crew by wanting to talk about knives constantly and holding her birthday party in a graveyard and distracting Al Roker from the weather every morning by asking him, stonefaced, "Do you ever wonder what it feels like to die?"—but at least she wasn't a huge giant, stomping all over the place, being big in everyone's way all the time, oh BROTHER.

It's been almost a full day since Brian Stelter was finally granted permission by his NBC media relations sources to hit send on a story most TV news reporters knew about months ago.

Katie Couric To Help Anchor Good Morning America Next Week Because Everybody Does Not Hate Her

A little early for pre-buzz, though, right?
