In the beginning when I sat next to Tom Brokaw on the Today show, the stories I was interested in were those having to do with women and children and learning and health. In those days, 25 to 30 years ago, that was called soft news, and not in a nice way. – Jane Pauley
This may sound funny, but as much as the Today show matured me, it also was something of a cocoon. Id been happy there. I never went into the bosss office and pounded my fist on the desk, saying, Give me more money! Give me a prime-time show! – Jane Pauley
