Ann Curry took over a The Today Show co-host in 2011. But ratings slipped for that iconic morning program in early 2012 and Curry found...
She may have been unceremoniously fired by Today, but Ann Curry has officially reached levels of fame typically reserved for Kim Kardashian and any Teen Mom cast member:
She's featured on the latest cover of In Touch!
The tabloid takes full advantage of the mess at Today and the controversy over Matt Lauer and claims that Curry is being "courted by top publishers to pen a tell-all."
Excerpts from a new book have been released and they echo a previous report regarding Ann Curry and her firing from Today:
Matt Lauer may suck, but producers were to blame for the horrible situation at that NBC program.
In "Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV," Brian Stelter writes that Curry received never-ending flak from those around her, with one staff members telling the author:
"A lot of time in the control room was spent making fun of Ann's outfit choices or just generally messing with her."
Another day, another story that paints NBC is especially bad light.
Following reports that Matt Lauer nearly left for ABC, and that he REALLY did not get along well with Ann Curry, a new snippet of Joe Hagan's New York magazine piece has been leaked.
And we'd love to hear NBC's response to it.
After Curry was fired from Today - yet still employed by the network, which "created a situation of spectacular awkwardness," Hagan writes - the reporter wanted to "tweet a note of sympathy" to Robin Roberts in light of her treatment for MDS.
A new cover story in New York magazine seeks to expose the mess that has led The Today Show to its lowest ratings in year.
And while author Joe Hagan reports that Matt Lauer nearly left for ABC last year, the most explosive passages document that anchor contentious relationship with Ann Curry.
"Everybody at NBC, everybody at the Today show, everybody understood that Ann was kicked out of her position because Matt didn't want her there," an important NBC staffer told Hagan for the story. "That's why it was so personal between Ann and Matt."
Today's edition of the Today mill focuses on Ann Curry and her alleged reaction to reports that Matt Lauer may be fired from the struggling show.
If you assumed Curry would be laughing all the way to the bank with her severance check, think again. She's more upset with NBC than anything.
While plenty pissed at her former co-host - who she wishes would just shut up - Curry places the blame on NBC for empowering Lauer in the first place.
According to reports, the powers that be have allowed him to become a diva, when they should've limited his power and kept him focused on journalism.
Ann Curry feels betrayed by NBC and Matt Lauer and just wishes her former Today colleague would shut his yap, according to a new tabloid report.
This week, he admitted the show messed up firing Curry - or at least how it was handled - but he also made other comments that were less flattering.
He told the Daily Beast that she wasn’t his first choice to replace Meredith Vieira, and that he lobbied for Katie Couric to rejoin the show instead.
The two were even prepared to team up on a syndicated daytime show, but negotiations broke down and Katie went to ABC, while Matt stayed put.
Caught in the crossfire - as she was back then - is Ann.
It's been a very tough year for Matt Lauer.
The Today Show host has come under extreme fire for how he and NBC fired Ann Curry, while his program has sank to second in the ratings behind Good Morning America.
Speaking to The Daily Beast about the departure of his ex-colleague, Lauer admits it didn't exactly go smoothly.
Largely blamed for Ann Curry's firing, Matt Lauer is reportedly trying to make it up to his former Today Show co-anchor.
According to Radar Online sources, the reporter is pushing NBC to grant Curry's wish and allow her to leave for CNN, where she's been offered a primetime hosting gig.
“Matt thinks that NBC should let Ann out of her contract so that she can take the CNN gig,” an insider tells Radar. “He can’t imagine why the bosses are dragging their feet and are at a stalemate.
"It would allow Ann to get back on the air on a regular basis and everyone can move on from the debacle. Matt only wishes Ann the best and thinks it’s for the best if she were to take a job at another network.”
Ann Curry has already been screwed over once by NBC.
Now she's determined for it not to happen again.
With CNN reportedly wooing the anchor, sources tell Radar Online that Curry wants out of her NBC contract. Big time.
"She has formally asked her attorney to explore exit options from the network," the Curry insider claims. "However, NBC bosses have indicated they are unwilling to release Ann from the contract. If Ann were to just quit, there is a non-compete clause, which would prohibit her from working for another news outlet for two years."
What have you done for your fellow man today?
That's what Ann Curry and many others who are following the lead of the former Today Show anchor want to know.
In response to the tragic Connecticut shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary last week, Curry penned an article for NBC News that talked of her struggles reporting from Darfur in 2007.
To cope, she tried to make a small, positive gesture in the region whenever she could. This past weekend, with a similar goal in mind, Curry Tweeted:
“Imagine if everyone could commit to doing one act of kindness for every one of those children killed in Newtown.”
And the idea caught on, with followers suggesting they up the number to 26 in honor of the adults also killed by Adam Lanza.
