Comments on .: Jenna Wolfe & 'Weekend Today': Is OK Enough?

Jenna Wolfe always pulls herself into every story like she thinks the story is always about her. SHe does this a lot and considering how annoying she, I have no desire to hear anything about her at all. Lester Holt is a wonderful man and Amy is adorable. I hope NBC figures it out.

Jenna Wolfe is like the typical loud, ignorant American that gives Americans a bad name . She and Tiki Barber present olympic updates on MSNBC. One of the updates was that the Georgian Olympic women's beach volleyball team, which is comprised of two Brazilians paid to play for Georgia, beat the Russian team. Jenna Wolfe speaks up to make a point. Here's her point. There's Vietnamese and other asians playing badminton for the US so what's the difference? I'm surprised Tiki didn't blow his lid at this piece of idiotic ignorance. He did correct her to say that the badminton team members are American citizens but the Brazilians were not citizens of Georgia. But Jenna continues to say that some American woman athlete, I forget who, was allowed to play professional sports in a Russian league. I could almost see the exasperation in Tiki's face. Incredibly, after making this comment she seemed pleased with herself saying that she was making especially good points today. Is this girl this stupid? I was waiting for her to say that the US basketball team should play for Africa but, unfortunately, it didn't come.

Who does she "know" to get that job?

Jenna Wolfe is the absolute worst. How in the world can NBC have her co-anchor the today show. Poor Lester. It has really gone down hill since Campbell left. Jenna is rude, obnoxious, abrasive. There is not one positive quality about that woman. I have stopped watching. Too bad I like Lester but I can not listen to that woman!!!!!

2008-04-27T08:01:00.000-05:00

I am watching Jenna and Lester right now and I feel so BAD for Lester! She is AWFUL - condescending, disrespectful and can't conduct an interview without injecting self-centered comments and inappropriate humor.

She is likely a talented reporter and anchor - but the morning show is not the right venue for her at all...

The only reason I watch is to LEARN WHAT NOT TO DO as I am a TV and radio broadcaster - !!!

Thanks for the great lessons, Jenna!

I hate to be an advocate for the negative but I must admit that when I saw her on NBC I asked "How the hell did she get there?".

I remember her from Jenna's beef and I actually liked her for that purpose but to be honest - hosting Today seems a little over her head. I really wish her the best but I must admit that Amy hosting both Sat and Sun would have been more appropriate in my opinion.

Nonetheless, NBC still has the best bunch of journalists out there and it primarily this reason why I wondered how Jenna got that spot so easily.

I hope it works out for her though.

2008-03-30T08:54:00.000-05:00

She is AWEFUL. Nails on a chalkboard kind of aweful. I have never in my life written a letter to a network until this morning. After watching Jenna be unprofessional and rude (how her attempts at funny manifest themselves); I had to type a cease and desist letter to NBC. I really can't take it and will not be tuning back in until they get rid of her.

2008-03-22T16:37:00.000-05:00

If you google her name it seems like she has worked her way up the ladder. Started in Binghamton, then worked in Rochester, then Philadelphia, then MSG network in New York, then WABC in New York. It seems like "she has earned her stripes"

How in the world did Jenna go from relative oblivi...

2008-03-13T08:29:00.000-05:00

How in the world did Jenna go from relative oblivian to hosting a "Today" segment - aside from her father's possible influence. Normally, persons with network news aspirations go through many jobs with small - medium affiliates to "earn their stripes" before standing a chance at an upper rung of the broadcast news ladder.

Jenna should stick to sports - period! Roll the video tapes - ideally, of sandlot softball games somewhere in the midwest or south in small, hometown markets.

The Today show is way out of her league ... can't she see that?? Can't NBC???

2008-02-17T08:16:00.000-06:00

Lester Holt is a fabulous persona. Thoughtful, sense of humor, articulate!

Jenna Wolfe is awful. She cannot address a story without putting herself into it. "It's all about me." Last weekend, she opined that "my girl friends and me went shopping...." Send he back to school for Grammar 101. Jenna is awful.
Happy to see I am not the only one who feels this way!

2008-02-09T10:39:00.000-06:00

You should have stayed on NBC a little longer last Sunday. The cook off between Jenna and Lester was a classic. Great Chemistry, great interaction and very entertaining segment.
Good gymnastics piece this morning with Amy and Lester. Great weekend viewing with both Amy and Jenna.

2008-02-08T12:46:00.000-06:00

This blog post made my day! Jenna Wolfe is the most annoying, self-absorbed, PITA (pain in the A**) that is currently out there on network news shows!

Lester Holt is a treat! He and his Saturday co-host Amy Roboch make a good team. However, they've lost me on Sunday.

Here's my new Sunday routine: I turn on Today, yell obscenities at Jenna, then switch to CBS!

2008-01-27T08:30:00.000-06:00

I can't get enough of Jenna. She has a most pleasant and heart worming personality and for a single guy like me, she is just so beautiful. If NBC news is weak or deficient in any way, it is certainly not the anchors. Everyone needs to start somewhere. Jenna is as good a choice as any. Jenna, continue to be pleasant and stay as sweet as you are. PS: I miss your beef of the week.

2008-01-20T08:08:00.000-06:00

I just turned the Today show off again this morning because of Jenna Wolfe. She is obnoxious, abrasive, and totally self-absorbed. She also is constantly tripping over her own tongue, and trying to be funny, and fails miserably. I wish NBC management would wake up and realize they are losing viewers because of her.

2008-01-12T08:13:00.000-06:00

I thought I was the only one who thought Jenna Wolfe was ot a good choice for the weekend today show. I find her to be obnoxious and at tmes offensive. She tends to grandstand and her comments to Lester are not always in good taste. NBC has such a high standard when hiring their hosts, how did she get through their scrutiny? I don't watch the Sunday Today show because she is so annoying!

2008-01-05T22:20:00.000-06:00

Both Jenna and Amy have great chemistry with Lester. I dont see at all where she cant stand Lester. As a matter of fact she is always drawing him into her segments, clearly showing she does like him. I completely disagree with your observation. Pls provide an example.

2008-01-05T07:15:00.000-06:00

Jenna Wolfe comes off as hostile and self-absorbed. She clearly can't stand Lester - how can you not love Lester?!? That woman has anger issues. I wish they'd get rid of her, she ruins the show for me.

2008-01-01T11:07:00.000-06:00

Sometimes I think Jenna thinks the show is all about her and not about it's real purpose. I did hear the other day she made some kind of New Years resolution for 2008 to finally get married and have kids. Well doesn't look good, does in Jenna

2007-12-30T08:29:00.000-06:00

She is so annoying, I like Lester Holt but this girl Jenna has to go ...the woman on saturday should just be the weekend anchor

Let's keep watching. I'm sure it will be an interesting holiday weekend for the show.

2007-12-17T17:50:00.000-06:00

Ordinarily I have a quiet remote but
when I tune in to see Lester and she's either sitting next to him or
over in the news desk my remote screams like a banshee in a mad rush
to get the hell outta there.

Talk about self absorbed for no
apparent reason and count the number
of times she interrupts to say absolutely nothing germaine.

2007-12-17T16:26:00.000-06:00

Boy oh boy is she annoying! Lester is a natural, and Amy is wonderful. Jenna Wolfe???? She's a bit of a Katie C. look alike...are they trying to make her fit? She interupts and never stops talking!Who is she dating? He must have some influence.
Get rid of her!

2007-12-10T18:00:00.000-06:00

She is terrible! I don't even tune in on Sunday mornings anymore because I do not want to watch another painful episode with her.

I want to see Amy Robach back in the seat on Sundays!

2007-12-09T18:14:00.000-06:00

Once you notice how many times Jenna Wolfe says "I" or "Me", it starts getting really weird.

2007-12-09T16:26:00.000-06:00

Thanks for your comment! Sometimes TV news managers get too sidetracked trying to introduce new talent to the viewers... make them seem real. Personally I thought things got out of control when Richard Branson picked her up and started swinging her around. Sure there was personality. But I believe in the great storytelling of 'CBS Sunday Morning' as you mentioned or in '60 Minutes'. Both are great ratings success stories for decades. They have no problem introducing new talent by showcasing the quality of their work.
