Why I Love ... Cape Cod
Viewers spent more than a decade waking up with
Meredith Vieira. These days, she’s just as busy but stills
find time to sneak out to her favorite summer getaway
Meredith Vieira has long been known for a
seamless ability to maneuver multiple irons
through a fire, whether it’s reporting for
60 Minutes , co-anchoring the Today show or
serving as the voice-of-reason moderator
on The View for its first nine seasons.
These days, she divides her time
between contributing to NBC’s Rock Center
with Brian Williams, producing movies and
hosting the long-running syndicated game
show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
“It’s a show I loved from the minute it
came on the air because our whole family
sat down and enjoyed it,” says Vieira, who
begins her 11th season on the show in Sep-
tember. “I love hosting it. I feel good at the
end of the day because someone’s had fun
and they’ve won money.”
When it’s time to unplug from the inten-
sity of back-to-back Millionaire tapings,
she and husband Richard Cohen head to
Cape Cod, Mass., to immerse themselves
in walks among unspoiled sand dunes and
bowls of flawless clam chowder.
