Jonathan Wald, the ousted executive producer of NBC's Today.
Wald was canned 17 months into his stint as helmsman of the ratings-leading

star, Katie Couric. The two clashed repeatedly over the direction of the show.
The leading candidate to replace him: Tom Touchet, a former senior producer
at ABC's Good Morning America.
