Paula Deen re-scheduled for 'Today' on Wednesday

NEW YORK—Paula Deen will appear on NBC's "Today" show on Wednesday,

according to host Matt Lauer.

Lauer's announcement came Monday, three days after the celebrity cook

abruptly canceled on the morning show, where she was scheduled to

answer questions about her past use of racial slurs.

Lauer said Deen "told us she will be here this time."

While questioned last month in a discrimination lawsuit, the

66-year-old Food Network star admitted to using the N-word in the

past, but she insisted she and her family do not tolerate prejudice.

Deen issued videotaped apologies Friday afternoon seeking forgiveness

from fans and critics.

But hours later, the Food Network announced it wouldn't renew her

contract when it ends this month.
