Al Roker and Matt Lauer are not pleased.
Hope Paula Deen reconsiders coming on @todayshow to talk about racial slurs she used. She is a no show so far. She has to address this

What’s her excuse for the abrupt cancellation?
@Paula_Deen a no show to @todayshow interview with @MLauer to discuss backlash after she used racial slurs; team claims "exhaustion."
