Ann Curry started with the Today Show in 1997 and anchoring since 2011. It would seem as though Lauer can outlive any woman in the business.
Lauer has seen three women co-anchors since taking a seat on the Today Show. Katie Couric started her debut in 1991 with Bryant Gumbel. Katie left in 2006 and was replaced with Meredith Vieira in 2006.
I do remember a rather bruising interview with Meredith where she stated working with Lauer was more than difficult. Now there is speculation Ann Curry can't withstand the it either?
I really think NBC needed to examine their motives in demeaning Ann Curry in such a short stay at the Today Show and why women don't have good experiences co-anchoring with Lauer. If I was Curry I'd hold the network responsible for every dime they owe in the contract and then some considering this is causing some diminished image.
This is crazy, Curry can't even get a foothold before egos are pushing her out the door. Anyone thinking of replacing Curry must be giving the possibility a second, third and fourth rethink before engaging the commitment.
Ann Curry is reportedly (click here) getting at least $10 million to leave "Today," the nation's No. 1 morning show.
If TMZ's "network sources" are correct, Curry will find herself amid the ranks of millions of Americans who are out of a job, albeit with a nice chunk of severance thanks to a three-year contract guaranteeing her that amount annually....
