I kind of worried about how silly Super Bowl Sunday coverage would be on Sunday’s ‘Today’ show if Jenna Wolfe was co-anchoring. I wondered if NBC would send Wolfe to Arizona because of her sports anchoring background. That did not happen. But the tone was set at the top of the show. Wolfe referenced her childhood memories of Super Bowl as “Stupid Bowl Sunday”. Like the rest of us, Lester Holt looked confused.
Coverage of the historic game was centered around the cook-off between Holt and Wolfe. It was teased at the top of the show and then again to start the second half hour. At one point, Holt jokingly said to Wolfe, “You’re taking this pretty seriously.” Before they moved to the cook-off, Wolfe tossed to a question and answer with Tiki Barber. It was for the sports-minded viewers that Barber and Wolfe talked about the historic nature of the game. But at the end of this interview, the self-awareness jokes returned for Wolfe. She joked that Barber attended the Playboy party and hoped Barber had told Hugh Hefner that she was absent from the party because she had to work. The actual cook-off that ended the show was pretty funny and enjoyable. There was enough content around Wolfe that even her jokes seemed appropriate in this segment.
Some other notes: Wolfe’s live interview with Republican Mike Huckabee was pretty good until the very end when she stumbled about what was next. Wolfe focused on whether Huckabee is the third man in a two-man Republican race and finished with the obligatory question about a vice-presidential spot.
Tamron Hall handled news desk duties and was very easy and pleasant to watch.
And, I’m so glad to see Janice Huff on the show. She too is easy and pleasant to watch.

I really enjoyed the Sunday show today. It is those unpredictable comments that make it fun. Great show Saturday, great show today.
If you enjoy Lester Holt squirming with confusion and confoundment as to what his role is when his co-host keeps trying to dominate the show, then the show was about as enjoyable as it can get.
Sundays are just uncomfortable. It is like inviting over the crazy uncle for the Holiday's and being continuosly nervous about what might come out of his mouth. That is the same feeling I get with Jenna Wolfe.
Jenna's voice is not soothing. She did a piece on a taser party and refrained from her most annoying humor. Howver, her piece on the "what I learned from women who dumped me" was dull. Also, she kept interrupting the guests with stupid mumblings.
She soaked up ann curry advertising jenna's dating status.
