'Love Monkey' Unaired Episodes on VH1; Couric's Replacement on 'Today' is Vieira

The people spoke and VH1 listened... canceled CBS dramedy Love Monkey has found a new home on VH1. The hour long dramedy from CBS starring Tom Cavanagh will begin airing on VH1 starting Tuesday, April 11 with three back to back episodes of the episodes that have already aired beginning at 7 p.m. ET/PT. The five remaining, never before seen episodes will premiere every Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET/PT beginning April 18. For more details, click here.

Just one day after Katie Couric made it official she is leaving Today, her replacement was announced. This morning on ABC’s The View, Meredith Vieira confirmed that she would be leaving the show later this summer to become co-host of the Today show. Vieira is expected remain with The View through May sweeps and join Today in early September. Meredith has been a valued contributor of The View since its launch over nine years ago.
Vieira also said she has not yet spoken with Buena Vista about whether or not she will continue in her role as host of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire for the remaining two years on her contract. Vieira currently tapes the entire year of shows between September and December, shooting four shows a day three or four days a week. The show currently tapes at 2 p.m., and Vieira said that one possibility would be simply to move up the taping schedule to begin at noon. NBC CEO Jeff Zucker cited Hugh Downs’ hosting of both Today and game show Concentration concurrently in the 1960s as precedent should Vieira continue in her Millionaire role. Vieira’s mix of talk-show hosting and experience in network news were considered widely attractive to NBC.
