Submitted by a friend from college this past summer:
I work about 20 feet from The Today Show, and breeze past it each day on my way to work. Every morning I take a quick glance to see which stars are there - David Hasselhoff, Jennifer Garner, Spike Lee, and always, of course, Al Roker. One morning the crowd was so dense, and there was so much screaming, that I just had to stop and see which band was playing. There was a stage, but I couldn't see over the people's heads. Finally, I leaned over the barricade to a throng of blond-haired, blue-eyed tourists, clad in pastel and fanny-packs.
"Excuse me," I asked, wearing heels and a purse slung over my shoulder - an obvious working woman and New Yorker. "Do you know what this is?"
"Yeah," replied the fifteen-year-old girl." Slowly: "This is the TODAY SHOW."
