Well after months of waiting, Meredith Vieira has finally taken her seat next to Matt Lauer on “Today.”

E! Online reports that Vieira’s new job isn’t that much different than her job at “The View.”

“I feel like it’s the first day of school and I’m sitting next to the cutest guy in the class. I’m going to be ‘the broad’ in broadcasting. I was so nervous last night. I’m so happy! I’m so excited,” Vieira said on this morning’s “Today.”

NBC also showed a montage of Vieira’s career, up to her last stint which was at “The View.” Her first interview on the show today was Tim Russert, and a cake was brought out in her honour during the episode.

Entertainment Weekly also noted that Vieira was also dressed in a white blouse and black blazer, the opposite of Katie Couric’s debut outfit last week on the “CBS Evening News.”
