The Today Show, officially known as Today, is an American morning news and talk show airing weekday mornings on NBC. Debuting on January 14, 1952, it was the first of its genre, spawning similar morning news and entertainment television programs across the United States and around the world. The show is also the third-longest running American television series. Today has been the highest-rated morning news and talk show in the United States since the week of December 11, 1995. Originally a two-hour program on weekdays, it expanded to Sundays in 1987 and Saturdays in 1992. The weekday broadcast expanded to three hours in 2000 and to four hours in 2007; it currently airs for two hours on Saturday and one hour on Sunday.
