Matt Lauer called it "a very bittersweet Wednesday morning" as he and the rest of the staff and crew on NBC's Today said goodbye to Meredith Vieira. It was lavish and emotional. There was a touching clip retrospective of Vieira's five years on the show. She was serenaded by Carole King and Jack Black. And there were heartfelt testimonials from coworkers Lauer, Al Roker, Ann Curry (who is replacing Vieira), and Natalie Morales. The highlight: An extended song-and-sprint which had Vieira running all over the set to Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'. " Out on the plaza, she was greeted by a stunningly uncoordinated flash mob of dancers that included Abe Vigoda and Jimmy Fallon. Vieira, 57, says she's leaving the show to spend time with her family.
