That’s the question I tried to answer at Internet Week NY on Wednesday:

NYT:
The book, which is set for publication next year, will detail her experiences with life-threatening illnesses.
Full disclosure: the publisher that bought her book, Grand Central, also published “Top of the Morning.”
8:07 a.m. Tuesday on the “Today” show: Al Roker, barking like a dog?
Looks like he didn’t know stations had finished their local weather reports and rejoined the network feed. (I think he and Matt Lauer were talking to a producer who was trying to communicate through their earpieces.)
Saw that too- he didn’t know the mic was hot… mic is ALWAYS hot. RT @theerichoward: Al Roker barking on today? goo.gl/gv5Sg

The quip came at CBS’s upfront for advertisers at Carnegie Hall. Ann Curry’s tearful farewell on “Today” was shown overhead.
TVNewser: ”Good Morning America extends its winning streak to nine months finishing last week at #1 in both total viewers and younger viewers… Last week, NBC’s Today was 900,000 viewers behind GMA; last year the once-dominant morning show was behind by 90,000.”

Savannah Guthrie’s now-fiance plays a part in Act 3 of the book, when she takes over for Ann Curry:
As her official welcome came to a close, the sun suddenly broke through the clouds in midtown Manhattan and shone straight into the windows of the studio. Those NBC people think of everything. Later in the show Guthrie was surprised by one of her musical idols, the singer-songwriter Shawn Colvin, who invited her to play the guitar and sing a song with her. (Unbeknownst to Guthrie, her boyfriend, Michael Feldman, had helped a “Today” producer sneak into her apartment and pick up her guitar after she’d left for work.) The whole show went off without a hitch.
Savannah Guthrie and Mike Feldman:

Feldman popped the question over the weekend.
Here’s the ring, via Matt Lauer’s Twitter feed:

Nothing official yet, but this appointment looks like it’s about to happen:
