NBC TODAY Opening - Evolution of the Introduction Announcement

TODAY Opens with Matt and Savannah, and Matt and Ann.
Clip 1 - Slow, spaced, serious tone (doesn't sound quite right!!)
Clip 2 - Going back to Les' original weekday voiceover style. The best to be honest, just that the graphic open has to be amended to fir the voiceover.
Clip 3 - Les' original weekday open for Matt and Ann in the Summer of '06 when Ann was standing in until Meredith took over.
Clip 4 - Matt and Ann's opening when Ann was permanent co-anchor. Too serious for Morning TV.
Les' original weekday intro, the new wekday intro or Matt and Meredith's weekday intro were the best. They have...'energy' but are not TOO serious for morning TV.
