NBC has reportedly poached Pippa Middleton, the sister of Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, for a spot on “The Today Show,” according to The Daily Beast.
Having already employed certain American “royalty” such as Chelsea Clinton and Jenna Bush, the company has brought on Middleton in a provisional, unspecified role, the Beast reported on Wednesday.
NBC paid Chelsea Clinton $600,000 a year. Middleton will receive a similar salary, according to the Beast.
Middleton is not the first high-profile Brit to join the “Today” team: NBC had previously employed Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer and Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, both of whom worked on the show.
Well, thank you NBC for your quality contributions to the general condition of American Journalism.
As if Luke Russert wasn’t enough of an indicator that NBC is a giant fail.
