Ann Curry on Today Show Ratings Decline: Yay!

by at .

Ann Curry couldn't help by cry when she made her final appearance as co-host of The Today Show.

But in light of that program's steady decline in the ratings, sources now say the only tears this reporter is shedding are those of joy.

"Ann feels completely vindicated by The Today Show's poor ratings since she left," an insider tells Radar Online. "She feels she was fired completely unfairly and wasn't given a fair shot at the gig."

Indeed, Savannah Guthrie has taken over for Curry, but Today continues to lose out to rival Good Morning America.

"Ann feels she was made a scapegoat by the network and that it's the whole show that needed an overhaul, not her replacing," added this source, saying Curry is especially peeved at Matt Lauer, who many say was responsible for giving his coworker the boot.

"There's definitely no love lost for Lauer, who she feels threw her under the bus completely."

    I tried watching Today again even though I said I wouldn't. I cannot watch this show. The format stinks, they constantly rush thru segments, way to many commercials, the anchors all try to talk over each other, and I honestly can't get the bad taste out of my mouth that none of the other anchors stood up for Ann. The whole thing stinks. Ann please know that you are well loved and a lot of us can't wait till your back on the air. I hope someone picks you up soon. Doesn't look like NBC wants you around since they have kept you off the air so we can get use to Savannah. Yeah right. When cows fly!

    Here's an NBC challenge: Replace Ann Curry with Matt Lauer for a week, and watch the ratings go up!!! He's become ossified. I wonder if his failing marriage contributed to his displaced anger against Ann, a genuine, strong, fine woman and superb journalist.
