"Today," on NBC

Watching Today, one of my favorite shows (that Third Hour) on NBC, the three main presenters this day caught my eye:  First, there is Al Roker, one of my all-time favorites.  Next to Al, is Shinelle Jones, and next to Shinelle is Dylan Dreyer, two slightly newer members of the "Third Hour" staff.  One thing about these three made me wonder why, considering all who might be available at NBC, why these three?  (And Craig Melvin is often there, of course, just not today.)  

Well, this daily trio (and a mighty fine trio they are) does one very good job of giving me a slightly late wake-up call by presenting what they might find on their plate.  The "news of the day," those general interest items (today it was "Charlie Brown,") and "food news" we all can use, three general topics that came across well from these three "presenters" was what was on today's menu.

But why these three?  Well, they are all well spoken (Great!)  Next, they are all up to speed on the topics they have been given (Great, again!!)  And third, color-wise, we have one dark-skinned, one light-skinned, and one in-between.  How's that for something for everyone?  Good job, NBC (Great!!!)  

And, finally, there is music. What more could anyone ask for?  Really, now!
