Today show's "gadget guru" a gear-head or a coke-head? The "gadget guru of NBC's Today, who most often appears on the Saturday edition to show off the latest appliances and tools, was arrested Saturday for buying cocaine. Here's a short December 5 Reuters item on his arrest:

MIAMI (Reuters) -- Andy Pargh, the NBC Today show correspondent known as the "Gadget Guru," was arrested on a cocaine trafficking charge in Miami, jail records showed Sunday.

Pargh, 45, was booked in the Miami-Dade County jail Saturday on the charge and was released after posting $50,000 bond, a jail official said.

Television station WTVJ, an NBC affiliate in Miami, said Pargh was arrested near his home in the Sunny Isles neighborhood after allegedly buying 250 grams of cocaine from an undercover policeman. Police who made the arrest could not be reached for comment.

Pargh reports on new products on the Today show and also writes a technology column that appears in USA Today.

No, but I remember Soledad O'Brien had that computer show with the animated co-host. I miss the 90s.

Most striking part is that MSNBC's programming has actually gone down hill from there. lol
