Getting Pushed Out at Weekend Today?
/FTVLive was the FIRST (by months) to tell you that Bloomberg's Stephanie Ruhle was going to replace Erica Hill on NBC's Weekend Today.
But, Ruhle's rule at NBC already seems to be coming to an end.
Ruhle was hired by NBC back in May as the co-host of weekend Today. But, in the November book she seemed to have been replaced. She was not co-hosting the show, but was being used as the News Reader for the November book.
After the book ended, Ruhle has not been seen on the show and it appears that NBC is no longer using a News Reader on the show.
Sources tell FTVLive that Ruhle was not popular with her colleagues or with management at Today. "A real pain in the ass," the source said. "Andy Lack used to be the top guy at Bloomberg so he personally hired her for NBC to follow him...I think that's why she had a large string at first but just rubbed so many people the wrong way," the source added.
So far NBC is not commenting.
