Local angle

I don't normally write about morning or daytime television (most of it isn't very entertaining, specifically morning news shows like Today... and neither I nor my Tivo is up at that hour), but I thought I should pass this along considering I work for a Jersey paper.

Today's Matt Lauer has an "exclusive interview" Monday with Gov. Jon Corzine, according to NBC News. They will discuss the crash that put Corzine in a Camden hospital for a few weeks and how he is faring since the April 12 wreck.

Today runs from 7 to 10 a.m. and I'm sure the interview will be teased to for most of the morning just to keep you watching.
