Today was our first Today without Katie Couric, and admittedly, something feels … different. There's just a little less pep (we didn't say perky!) in the room without her.

But that doesn't mean there isn't still a good amount of humor. Before her wardrobe could be cleared out, and the name taken off her dressing room, NBC aired a commercial for "the new Today" with Meredith Vieira and Ann Curry is already making salads with chubby guys.

We don't know what we expected — honestly, we half expected Katie to pop out of the audience, and go "just kidding!" But, she didn't. And Matt Lauer seems almost as lost as we are. But we guess we should just be glad the music and the sob fest and the champagne breakfasts are over, and we can go back to women whose families died in plane crashes.
