Meghan & Harry Crash Netflix Party, Ryan Reynolds EXPOSED by Nerve Ops, & Hoda Kotb's "Today" Future

About this episode

Maureen Callahan and Rob Shuter discuss celebrity news, including Meghan Markle's behavior at a Netflix party and the dynamics at NBC's 'Today Show'.

Maureen Callahan is joined by celebrity reporter Rob Shuter to break down Savannah Guthrie’s return to the “Today Show” with Hoda Kotb filling in as co-anchor while Craig Melvin steps away for a curiously-timed vacation, what this could mean for Hoda if there is a ratings spike during Craig’s absence, and what is really going on behind the scenes at NBC. They also dive into Meghan Markle and Prince Harry pushing their way into a private Netflix party, Meghan’s reported behavior with Netflix head Ted Sarandos and his wife, and how Meghan thinks of herself as charming. Rob also brings his insider report on Ben Affleck throwing millions of dollars at J.Lo to make her go away, Diddy’s family making plans for a welcome home celebration while he sits prison, plus the latest in Blake Lively’s lawsuit with Justin Baldoni. Then Maureen delivers a full review of Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis documentary before conducting a full takedown of Ryan Reynolds on the heels of The Nerve's infiltration of his recent NYC event with Willie Geist.
