Where in the World
(From Paul Manson, TODAY Producer)
Where in the world is Paul Manson.
Allow my to introduce myself. I'm one of the today show producers. I've been with the show for 8 years now ... Sometimes it's hard to believe. But as is true with many of our staff, it’s a hard place to leave because it’s a terrific place to work.
I'm often reminded what a privilege this job is. As a producer you have the opportunity to travel quite a bit, meeting interesting people often with a front row seat to history.
Those who are fans of the show will be familiar with our annual series, “Where in the World is Matt Lauer?” In order to get Matt ready for a week of world travel teams of producers hit the ground ahead of time to scout locations and shoot stories reflecting what's going on in each country. I'm currently on location doing just that.
I'll give you a hint on where Matt is headed next week. Here goes…
I am somewhere on earth. Due to budget cutbacks and the inevitable exorbitant cost we had to forgo plans for “Where in Outer Space is Matt Lauer?” So I am in fact somewhere on earth. Here are some other facts I've garnered since hitting the ground. The people we've met here are extremely friendly...They generally eat three meals a day and tend to sleep at night. Unfortunately that's about all I can say.
Tune in next week for more. As they say in this country.... Goodbye.
