FishbowlNY editor Amanda Ernst appeared on the "Today" show Monday
morning and wrote about the experience for her blog.

The most interesting detail? Kathie Lee Gifford — who co-hosts the
fourth hour, when Ernst appeared — is no longer shaking hands,
preferring instead to "bump butts."
Ernst writes:
After I was made pretty and mic'd up, I was all ready to be
interviewed by Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford. Gifford is not
shaking hands anymore because of swine flu, so she wanted to bump
butts, which was hard to do while I was sitting down.
The ladies of "The View" recently had a similar discussion about how
to greet guests without contracting swine flu, which led to Joy Behar
planting a surprise kiss on Whoopi Goldberg's lips.
Earlier this year, the "Today" show canceled its planned vacation
series over fears related to the swine flu outbreak.

Taylor: Howie Mandel is TOTALLY right when it comes to dealing with
greetings to his contestants on his game show 'Deal Or No Deal'. Hand
shaking is a disgusting, outdated form of communications among human
beings. There's LOTS of customs from the 11th Century that we've
abandoned and hand shaking should be one of them! This girl needs to
recognize and so do all of you.
