Meredith Vieira Insults Guest Over Her "Ugly Yellow Dress" (VIDEO)

Meredith Vieira wishes she could take back this extremely rude comment after "The Soup" catches Vieira insulting one of her guests live on the "Today Show."

Vieira was interviewing Janice Lieberman, described as a consumer expert, on the great deals one can get from buying goods at police auctions. After Lieberman lists the wide range of products available, Vieira lets loose this astonishingly inappropriate comment:

I can see all the NBC bean counters, all of my wardrobe is going to be from PropertyRoom.com, starting with (pointing at her guest) that ugly yellow dress.

Groans of amazement can be heard on the set, and Vieira desperately tries to salvage the situation by saying frantically, "No, it looks cute on you. It looks cute on her!"

Pants under the dress, and a cardigan over? It was a weird get-up. The dress itself wasn't ugly, IMO.

[HekmabaJuzimax]

It's just show business. All the people on there are getting paid.

[LivInLove]

I can do a better job than Meredith, and I would look great in that yellow dress.

[progressivelady]

I never understood why she got the job replacing Katie

[VOTER]

Meredith is not looking good herself.
Plus,
She is a B I T C H.

I've met Meredith Vieira. Let's just say the comment is not out of character. The day she got the gig on the Today Show was the day I stopped watching it.

[jhamm1]

Herself a fanatical supporter of the Iraqi War, it's easy to despise her.

[VOTER]

Agree.

[NilesCrane]

When I saw that on the soup, I was drinking a diet coke and spit out so much coke it shot all the way across the room and hit my cat. I was laughing sooo hard, its shocking, I love meredith...she was right, it was ugly.

[Quilter]

That was funny.

[billbb]

You'd expect someone wearing a baby poo green jacket to be more careful!

[MelRoy]

You took the words right out of my mouth. Somebody should tell Meredith that Linda Blair Green is the most unflattering color in the spectrum.

[Wiseronenow]

The guy on Soup, is just so bad. Why he is still on, always perplexes me.

[Happylib]

Joel McHale ROCKS!!! I called him and he wanted me to tell you that he hates you.

[fame]

lol

[yellowdoggie]

Because he's funny!

[Skylarstar]

Not a big deal.....get over it already.

[MrRex]

Welcome to "Oprah world" where we just say what we feel, girls; it liberating you know...empowering and all....

[bluehand]

As you well know, Oprah would never speak to any one that way. Unlike you obviously.

[JanSP1971]

What the heck is the big deal. I would have loved to been there durning the break and watch Meredith fall all over herself and laugh with the other woman. I enjoy Meredith she doesn't take herself so seriously. She has been good for the Today Show.

[bluehand]

It's sad that you, like Meridith don't know when something is just rude.

[VOTER]

Meredith is so full of herself yet occasionally viewers get to see the real person.
NOT A PRETTY SIGHT!

[Rendon76]

WOW

[edwarvir]

There is never excuse for bad manners.

[GenRom]

I want to know what Meredith did to get that job......She's a loser.
