Ann Curry: On The Way Out of Today?
by Hilton Hater at .It's looking more and more likely as if Ann Curry is on her way out of Today.
According to The New York Times, the co-host - who took over for Meredith Viera about a year ago - would essentially be the scapegoat for the long-running NBC program, which was topped in the ratings by ABC's Good Morning America for the first time in years this spring.
It's unclear if Curry would be removed completely from the show or moved to a different role, but newspaper sources say discussions are ongoing and a decision is expected to be reached prior to NBC’s coverage of the Summer Olympics in late July.
If the ax does come down on Curry, Savannah Guthrie is expected to replace her.
Matt Lauer, meanwhile, recently renewed his contract and won't be going anywhere for awhile.

I agree with most of the comments above. Ann will be missed. Ann can't be the only reason for lower rating. Matt also plays a part in that. Matt seem like a real pain in the ????? to work with. I think Matt needs to take a good hard look in the mirror. We are all just people trying to get by in this difficult world. I really wish somehow they could bring Meredith back. I'm sure Matt would have a fit about that. I think that says it all.
I agree with most here that Matt is a real turn off. I can't believe he was just signed up again. As for Ann, she was always a breath of fresh air. I still can't believe she is being booted off. Shame on the idiots that would keep Lauer on instead of Ann.
This is a big mistake. Ann is the most valuable person on the morning news. She cares about what goes on in the world. She is very compassionate, kind and has empathy for her guests. This is so very rediculous. I have watched Today for 25 or more years. I will no longer be watching the Today Show, because of them letting her go. What a foolish decision. Susan
I love Ann, it is not her that NBC needs to fire it is Matt!!!!!
i stopped watching years ago -- more time is spent telling what is coming NEXT than in the actual segment they describe!
