Ann Curry to Be Replcaed On “Today”: Is Matt Lauer to Blame?

Her talent as a serious news reporter has, ironically, been a point of criticism – she’s not easygoing enough to co-host a morning show.”[MTV Newsroom]

The big unfair news story of the day belongs, ironically, to someone who usually reports the news. In case you haven’t heard yet (and you wouldn’t know it from tuning in to your usual morning news show), Today is working to replace co-host Ann Curry with Savannah Guthrie.

The reason for the dismissal - almost a year exact to the date after Curry replaced Meredith Vieira - is that Today is no longer the No. 1 morning show. Good Morning America has moved into the top spot for at least five of the last ten weeks, meaning that the top spot and revenue dollars are up for grabs. Unfair though it undoubtedly seems, the brass upstairs usually tries to remedy this problem by dropping the seasoned female host for a perkier, younger lady. History is about to repeat itself - though there are many reports coming from NBC that Matt Lauer himself is behind the decision to push out Curry.

Will this decision affect where you get your news in the morning from? Is Curry being treated fairly?

Never like Ann. She seems to think she has to sell stories with her "sad" tone or "serious" tone or "happy" tone. I think they should keep her as a reporter willing to travel all over the world but she is a dismal host who is constantly tripping over her tongue in the wee hours of the show. Mainly I think Matt feels she is dragging him down.

Damn, they gettin' rid of Ann Curry's fine ass?

There's no way she's 55.

Great reporter, no personality at all as a host. Since this is moejackson.com, I have to register my opinion that I'd fuck her 55 year-old ass silly.
