Is Maria Shriver returning to the Today show? That’s the rumor going after the former NBC fixture reported from the Vatican on the program this week, leading the network to explore a permanent deal. The question is whether she’s interested. Maria may tease (and give a ratings boost) to NBC by coming on occasionally for big stories like the Papal coverage , but beyond that, her role is unclear. Shriver has turned down overtures from NBC and other networks in the past, and simply may not want a daily gig because she doesn’t need the money. The former wife of Arnold Schwarzengger is deeply invested in her charity work and raising their four kids, and has a net worth of at least $100 million. Basically, she’s reluctant to get back into the daily grind of TV news, no matter how badly NBC might want her to replace Matt Lauer ‘s tanking Q rating. Exhale, Matt.
