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!"

Couldn't we get the real clip, without the laugh track and unfunny commentary?

[countfloyd]

I'm amazed it doesn't happen more often given the amount of mind numbing interviews they have to do.

[tomasedison]

Meredith has no talent.

[VPN]

Dosen't need any to point out an UGLY dress.

[Conservador-Rebelde]

Yes, but common sense should stop you from doing it on national television.

[stagebandman]

Too many years with the airheads on The View.

[beardog1]

omg this is such a non story...Janice Liberman works for NBC...a co-worker. I saw the whole thing and they were just kidding around.

[cdub1991]

Well-it is ugly.

[wonkguy]

Janice Lieberman has spectacular boobs. I don't know if they're real, but they're really spectacular.

[TigersEye]

Seinfeld, there you are! I was wondering what you've been up to lately. ;)

[moonwatcher]

This is not junior high.

"she quickly tried to salvage one of the only interesting segments in the entire history of the Today Show"

[Mayoyo]

Why is she on the show anyway..she is so damn boring...

[Deaninphilly]

LMFAO! That was funny.

Some of you need to stop being so uptight

[Jase84]

Being uptight was saying the dress was ugly....

[Deaninphilly]

It was ugly, but even if it wasn't it was still funny. Sorry you have something stuck up your ar$e. Perhaps you should see a Dr about that.

[noweknow]

What wrong in wearing yellow? I wear it all the time.

[furryone]

yellow is dandy--I dress made from a tablecloth is not so much

[DawnK]

Honestly the Today show has the most annoying hosts ever. I can't stand Viera or Matt Lauer and then add that Kathy Lee to the mix. EWWWWWWW Cannot watch.

[Totto]

Meredith is just fine and looks great, too. She must be so embarassed.

[nana4g]

It is an ugly get up of a dress and I thought the exchange was funny, very funny, between two women who knew it was meant as funny and the way many of us talk with each other. I saw nothing offensive about it. What a horrid outfit, only good to laugh at!!
