FALL 2013: MATT LAUER AND ANN CURRY'S 'TODAY' SHOW DRAMA IS HEADED TO LIFETIME

Just when Matt Lauer thought the whole Today show "Operation Bambi" fiasco saga was behind him, word has come that a made-for-TV movie based on author's Brian Stelter's "Top of the Morning" is in the works.

Stelter's behind-the-scenes view at morning television, and the years-long battle between NBC's Today show and ABC's Good Morning America, is being developed into a Lifetime movie. While the book mostly focuses on NBC's botched, public ouster of anchor/host Ann Curry, it also exposes ABC's formation of its current morning team and rise in the ratings war.

The production is still in the early stages so no tentative release date or potential casting has been released. If this movie turns out as good as HBO's mid-90s movie The Late Shift (based on the Leno-Letterman battle to be Johnny Carson's successor on The Tonight Show), Lifetime will be showering with a ratings hit.

FALL 2013: CARSON DALY EXITING 'LAST CALL' FOR 'TODAY' SHOW

Carson Daly is exiting his long-running late night gig for early morning television.

Last Call with Carson Daly will soon lose its long-time host as Carson Daly switches late night television for NBC's Today show. Daly will host the morning show's new social media segment, "The Orange Room." While Daly is relinquishing hosting duties of Last Call, a role he has held since the show premiered in January 2002, he will continue acting as an executive producer on the the late night gab fest.

Carson Daly has been on a high with NBC. Last Call has continued pulling in an audience and he hosts one of the most popular, most watched television shows on primetime, The Voice. Today, on the other hand, has been trying to reinvent itself ever since the Ann Curry firing-meltdown-disaster last year. Producers have been rotating guest hosts in various segments while deterring the bullseye from Matt Lauer. Time will only tell if this latest change will help shift things around for Today, which has lost viewership and been consistently beaten by ABC's Good Morning America.

No final date has been given for Carson Daly's last hosting appearance on Last Call.
