David Gregory has a lot of soul!  I loved seeing him dance and HE DOES NOT/CAN NOT be compared to Elaine Bene.  Come on now that is like comparing Micheal Jackson to PeeWee Herman ---- ok a little extreme but you get my point.

He really made my day

David has all the right moves and Elaine had all the wrong moves. There is no comparison, no contest and this is a no-brainer. Gregory's got it goin on!

I think David looked GREAT! You could see he really knew the song...and enjoyed seeing Mary J. Blige perform!

You're right TeaJai - he made my day too!

David compared to Elaine?? C'mon! I've watched his dance clip at least four times because I enjoyed it so much, and the man has moves! His dancing was great, and anyone who says differently is just jealous! David, you rocked it--and I can't wait to see your next "performance!"

I LOVED David's dancing!! He is always an interesting and welcome guest on the Today show. C'mon Elaine, looked as though she was having a mini-seizure!

PLEEEASE! This is not even almost a contest.David wins, hands down. Nice moves David,that was HOT!! Who knew that he had such rhythm? Mary should think about taking him on the road with her.

All I have to say is that... he was getting his groove on. I used my DVR to rewind it so I could tape it and looked at it several times because it brought a smile to face...LITERALLY! I have a totally different perspective of him....HE IS H O T!!!!!!!

DAVID IS A GOOD DANCER...HE BEATS ELAINE HANDS DOWN...GO ON DAVID BUST THE MOVE..U GROOVE BABY

I LOVE watching David dance.  Is he the greatest dancer, no he isn't, but I think he's pretty good and he definitely is having fun when he's doing it.  It's not even fair to compare him to Elaine Benes from Seinfeld.

I saw David dance at the Chris Brown concert last year and I was so impressed! That man can boogie! He is such a great dancer - does he have a video coming out soon, teaching us how to get down? I'd buy it! I wanna see a dance-off with him and Al Roker...I love him!

David Gregory DEFINITELY knows how to dance--there is NO WAY his moves are even a slight reminder of Elaine's from Seinfeld. He has rhythm and soul. Now,either the rest of the Today Show crew likes to tease David Gregory and make like he can't dance because it's fun,or they're just jealous because they can't dance as well as he can!!!! Keep on dancing David!

David dances in public how we all should: with all his heart!! Well done David... (who wouldn't need to blow off steam after covering the White House!!)

We L-O-V-E David Gregory!! He is the man!! It was such a nice, unexpected surprise seeing him "gettin' down" with Mary J Blige. I am beginning law school in DC in the fall of 08, and had some concerns that the "fun" of life would be stripped away from (which at least the 1st year it WILL!)- but David Gregory has shown that even the most professional of us can still throw-down!!!

David, I am a fan!!!

LisaLisa, Charlotte,NC (Sent Saturday, December 22, 2007 7:46 AM)

I can't believe that you guys said that about David.  Don't be jealous because David is such a great dancer.  You should ask for lessons.  Plus I love watching him dance, he has moves.  Heck I want to dance with him.  Get down David!!!!

Mitzie, Farmington Hills, MI (Sent Saturday, December 22, 2007 6:54 PM)

David did pretty good.  I've read that he is a "real" Mary J. Blige fan so it's not suprising that he danced while she performed.  He's clearly the winner.

Jai, Jacksonville, FL (Sent Saturday, December 22, 2007 7:28 PM)

I thought DG was a pretty good dancer!

David Gregory can dance WAY better and has more rhythm than "Elaine" ever had!  Go David!

Kathy Rhodes, Leonardtown, MD (Sent Saturday, December 22, 2007 9:08 PM)

I THINK DAVID WAS HAVING FUN AND ENJOYING HIMSELF AT THE WORK PLACE AND AT THE SAME TIME STILL DOING HIS JOB.  THAT A GREAT COMBINATION TO HAVING A GREAT DAY!

DENISE,ALBANY GA (Sent Sunday, December 23, 2007 3:38 AM)

I think David is a great dancer !!!  NBC is so fortunate to have a smart and cool guy like David on staff.  David your moves are hot !!!  Have a Merry Christmas and a Great New Year !!!

Jacqueline D., Vance, SC (Sent Sunday, December 23, 2007 9:03 AM)

David has SOUL.....Ellen is no competition.  I've seen him over the years cut the rug on TV, each time I've enjoyed his SMOOTH moves.  I would enjoy seeing David perform on "Dancing with the Stars"!

Dawn McFadden, Cincinnati, OH (Sent Monday, December 24, 2007 2:02 AM)

Okay, I am a bit slow. But, I LOVED seeing David dance to MJB. I remember him dancing at last year's Chris Brown concert and looked at him with a smile on my face. Go David Go!

Audrey, Sammamish (Sent Wednesday, December 26, 2007 10:59 PM)

I am very impressed by David Gregory's decision to regale us with some dance moves on the "Today Show".  Clearly, the man is confident, and sufficiently unconcerned about what the non-dancing critics might say.  Keep up the good work (and play) Dave ... you are so cool!

Jacqueline R., Baltimore, MD (Sent Monday, December 31, 2007 7:32 AM)

David Gregory hard to believe he can move that way! He actually made my day! I like his reporting style and to see a different side of his personality made it even greater! David....keep dancing buddy!
