Cody Gifford to Review Movies, Enjoy Nepotism On Today
From the same network that brought you such hard-bitten, time tested journalists like Jenna Bush and Luke Russert, NBC has announced that Kathie Lee spawn Cody Gifford has joined the Today show as an "intern" who will "review" movies. Sure, he may not be legally old enough to buy a beer, but wee Master Gifford brings the dewy vibrancy of youth to table, unlike the oldsters out there who might be "a little out of touch with contemporary issues, films, and whatnot." You hear that, Old Man Ebert? You are far too old to appreciate the subtle, youthful intricacies of MacGruber!
Between Cody and the aforementioned Bush and Russert, NBC is rapidly turning into a network version of Muppet Babies. Here's hoping a miniature version of Hoda is in the wings, just waiting to be mystified and ridiculed by the latest Gifford.
Check out Cody's Summer Movie Preview below.

Maybe he can "review" his dad banging various cocktail waitresses and other assorted "production interns" since marrying the plastique shrew.

In a related story, Gene Shalit was just named the new editor of Tiger Beat.
And in unrelated news, four ominous-looking gents were seen coming down 5th Ave. on horseback.
Nah, you're not the only one, but you knew that.

Thanks for the good writing. I will be returning.
I was going to say he has the serial killer look. Something about the way his eyes meet:S
That was remarkable post! I like to read such articles for they provide relevant information to me as a blogger that enriched my knowledge on different facts. Great job and I hope to read more from you!
The kid is terrible and we know the only reason he got the job is nepotism. Maybe next they will have Ann Curry's cat give the news. The show is a joke!!
