re: Infotainment
I was watching one of those programs 4 or 5 years ago as I was doing other stuff. They announced they were going to have some kids on that had just one some sort of national contest. The kids were extremely bright, unlike the show's hosts. It was hilarious. The kids told them, they had prepared some trivia questions for the hosts. It think it was Matt Lauer, Katie Couric, and Al Roker. They all did miserably. Al Roker was the worst. They showed him a picture of a cumulus cloud and asked him to name it. He called it a cirrus. The kids looked kind of embarrassed for the 3 newspeople. After that I knew Roker wasn't a real weatherman, just a smile and a suit.
