Dedicated to the news and entertainment industry, Later Today is an hour extension of the Today Show, and features three very talented women, who host the show from 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York. It's like Today. Only later! Written by Jason Allentoff <jallentoff@monmouth.com>
This is not a serious news show in the least. How NBC got away with associating "Later Today" with "The Today Show", I'll never know. "Later Today" consists of three women sitting behind a countertop in a kitchen-like setting. There are no news reports. Instead, the show consists of guests who come on and advise their audience to decorate their homes in ways that will attract men. Or guests who show the audience the right way to put on makeup. Clearly, this show is designed for homemakers. Now, I have nothing against homemakers, but "The Today Show" is designed for everybody. It's just plain wrong to portray "Later Today" as the same show later in the morning. "Later Today" is a women's show hidden behind a name with a very different connotation. And, I find the material downright insulting (note the "I". I'm well aware that many people don't share my opinion). I wouldn't care if it weren't for the fact that NBC pulled an act of deceit. I hope "Later Today" is soon put out of its misery. Or, at least change the title!
