NBC’s The Today Show offers a curious mix this Thursday, November 21, 2024. From revisiting a tragic unsolved mystery to celebrating culinary nostalgia, the morning’s lineup veers sharply between the somber and the festive.
First up, the 7-9 a.m. slot features John Ramsey and Joe Berlinger discussing Netflix’s new JonBenét Ramsey docuseries, Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey. Berlinger, no stranger to true crime, returns to the case that captivated and horrified the nation. This time, he aims to re-examine the evidence and perhaps shed some new light on the 28-year-old mystery. Whether this latest attempt brings any actual clarity to a case seemingly frozen in time is, of course, the big question.
Also during this block, Today offers an exclusive first look at Dorothy’s ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz, heading to auction. This segment promises a healthy dose of Hollywood nostalgia, a stark contrast to the Ramsey discussion.
The 9-10 a.m. hour takes a practical turn with “Consumer Confidential,” a guide to payment apps. Experts will attempt to demystify the world of digital finance, touching on the usual security concerns and hidden fees. Then, actress Sarah Catherine Hook (First Kill) stops by for a chat, presumably about her upcoming projects.
Finally, the Thanksgiving Throwback segment returns, featuring an impressive array of culinary talent. Chefs Matt Abdoo, Jordan Andino, Stefano Secchi, Hetty Lui McKinnon, Shaw-nae Dixon, Ana Castro, Maya-Camille Broussard, and Rick Martinez will be on hand to offer their takes on holiday classics. It’s unclear how much actual cooking will occur, but the sheer number of chefs assembled suggests a crowded kitchen.
The Today Show airs weekdays at 7 a.m. on NBC.
