Ann Curry ended her anchorship with "Today" Thursday morning after being fired due to low ratings. Curry was very emotional and had an awkward exchange with Matt Lauer.At 8:50 this morning, Ann Curry signed off as Today show co-host. It was a teary scene, and Ann was heart-breakingly apologetic, saying: "For all of you, who saw me as a groundbreaker, I'm sorry I couldn't carry the ball over the finish line… but I did try." Ouch. Matt Lauer offered a few words about Ann's contributions to the show, noting that she has "the biggest heart," which is a comment on her emotions, not her reporting skills. Matt also said, "It's not goodbye." But his body language was terribly casual — one arm up on the couch because yes, he owns the damn place — and the kiss he placed on Ann's head is best described as perfunctory. Al Roker and Natalie Morales each embraced Ann with hugs. No televised hug from Matt.

I've always liked her and thought she did a good job. It's sad to see her go. I'll miss the sweet lady.

I don't watch the today show. The Today Show is the reason I don't watch my local NBC station in the morning. I hope they cancel the Today Show so I can watch local news in the morning.

Yes, especially under these circumstances...Her replacement? A young and ambitious reporter-female-with a law degree from George Washington University...[read ambitious as: Cut throat, go for the jugular]...Your up next, Matt Lauer. Ha Ha. Payback's a bitch.

Just another fake person gone, unfortunately just to be replaced by a new fake person. TV personalities are just sell outs driven by massive ego.

"For all of you, who saw me as a groundbreaker, I'm sorry I couldn't carry the ball over the finish line…" ... Groundbreaker? At WHAT? She really has an ego doesnt she? And, I would like to know what sport she is referencing there... "Carry the ball over the finish line"??? What ball sport has a finish line?

I have never heard of her... I can't watch T.V.... It hurts my brain... I start to believe that's how people are and should be. I cherish my humanity and I worked too hard to regain it to throw it away getting re-propagandized watching T.V.

Please don't tell me that you watch Fox "News". The irony would just be too delicious...

reply
PJ Swe... to Heptarch 2012/07/02 12:10:54

I get my news from realizable sources, and yes Fox news is one of them, why do you think they are number one in ratings :)

reply
Heptarch to PJ Swe... 2012/07/02 18:03:13

"I get my news from realizable sources, and yes Fox news is one of them"

That statement is an oxymoron.

"why do you think they are number one in ratings :)"

Because they pander to what people like you want to hear. You don't watch Fox "News" for information, you watch it for affirmation.

I don't. But I have a feeling that you're one of those people who believe that anything that DOESN'T cater to exactly what you want to believe is "biased".

EDIT: Nice post-and-block, coward. How like an emtpy-headed right winger. As soon as you're called on your BS you block and run.
