The 'Today Show' host, pulling double duty on 'Millionaire,' called up Navy pilot Max Sherman to the show, and really liked what she saw. "Ok Max, you are one handsome guy," she exclaimed. "I don't normally like to fly but I am changing my mind." Watch What Happens Next
"Listen we don't have much time, so we want to play OK?" she said. "I'm ready to play anytime with you, Max."
"Look, you don't get 'em like this that often," she explained before starting the game. "I have even more respect for the military," Meredith added.
She continued to shamelessly flirt with the contestant during the segment. "I know, it's pathetic. I'm an old horny woman, all right? Give me a break."
The next question provided for additional laughs. "The childhood prank known as a 'wet willie' involves putting a wet finger in someone's what?" Meredith read, prompting her to say, "Anywhere you want to put it, Max!"
Max, of course, knew the answer. "Fortunately, I never quite grew up, would it suffice if I just gave you one?" He then proceeded to give her a 'wet willie.'

If this were a man treating a woman like this during a game-show, people would have a lot of nasty things to say about him. C'mon Meredith - he's not a piece of mean, ok?
I think if roles were reversed, the host would lose his job, be ridiculed as a sexist pig and have a very hard time finding future employment. That being said, i think theres nothing wrong when a woman does it. Hipocritical yes, but i am also a man who likes a woman who isnt scared to flirt.
If it were a man flirting with a women he'd be out of a job. I remember one episode where she told a contestant that he had big feet, then stated "You know what they say about a man with big feet?" Enough already. Female chauvinist pig.
I didn't see HIM complaining, so why should YOU??? In fact, he looked as though he was enjoying all of the attention. Many of the women in the audience were audibly excited when he got on the stage, so why shouldn't Meredith be? Who doesn't love to see a handsome man in uniform? BTW, it isn't sexual harassment unless it is UNWANTED attention, and unsolicited touching is being FORCED upon someone. HE touched HER. What she said and did is called "flirting", and he was doing it right back. What's wrong with that?
UR RIGHT, HE'S NOT A PIECE OF MEAT, TO ME SHE HAS LOST RESPECT FOR HERSELF ACTING THAT LOOSE ON T.V., IF ROLES WERE REVERSED AN A GUY SAID THAT , HE WOULD B IN TROUBLE...SHE'S NOT THE LADY I FIRST THOUGHT SHE WAS, SHE'S GOTTEN TOO LOOSE ON TELEVISION, SHE FORGETS CHILDREN WATCH/LISTEN TO HER WORDS AN BEHAVIOR, SAD,VERY SAD WORDING. MAYBE SHE SHOULD SEE IF SHE CAN WORK IN NEVADA..
I'll co-sign that. Had it been a Bob Barker, etc. host doing that then there would be the typical lawsuit by the woman receiving the joke. Why is it when you combine MALE FAME + MONEY you see = WOMEN + LAWSUITS?
Simply "RATINGS" Meredith Vieira, did say she is a "HORNY OLD LADY". horny definition:A slang term for sexual arousal and/or desiring sexual gratification Now that was out of line. If he don't win a Million, he might be able to sue for millions.. Only for late night TV. "Sexually explicit TV"
Meredith has always said things off-color. She just talks the talks. And is a honest lady. She has toned it down a little since leaving 'The View', but hilariously our old horny Meredith showed herself on the Millionaire show. No big deal!!!
Now, we all know had this been a male, he would have had ramifications behind this. Although, she may have not meant any harm as sometimes males do not, I think that she should be made aware of her actions.
i agree. just men like flattery and are more perverted than women, lt's be honest, doesn't mean they should be treated like a piece of meat. and embarrassed. she was definitely out of line.
You have got to be kidding. She is the type of person that anyone would love to have as a friend. She is warm and extremely smart. Not stuck up like so many that are on television today. And I like so many men in the world, would love to simply touch her face, her had, and gaze into her eyes,, just for a moment.
It is a game show for goodness sake. It is entertainment, not a funeral. Of course her actions are appropriate. The old Match Game was a whole lot more suggestive than this.

She went a little far. It's okay to think all those things (um, I sure did), but don't lose your inner monologue. He is yummy, though. :)

Double Standards. If a male person had made those comments, everyone would think it's inappropriate.
