NEW YORK -- NBC News has named former Good Morning America producer Tom Touchet to replace Jonathan Wald as executive producer of Today. Wald left the show last month. Touchet has spent the past seven years at ABC News, most of the time as a producer at GMA. For the past few months, he was a senior producer at ABC News Development, where he helped create the 50 States-One Nation project. Before joining ABC, Touchet worked out of Washington for Fox, where he line produced Fox Morning News from 1990-95. Touchet was a surprising choice. He is not well-known within the tight news community, and executives familiar with his work say that outside of running booking on GMA, Touchet had little experience outside the control room.
