Ann Curry Shuns Matt Lauer During ‘Today Show’ Goodbyes

This is a sad day for American television. The reassignment of Ann Curry, one the most heartfelt and real co-anchors the Today Show has ever had, is a travesty. We deserve to know why this is happening. One is forced to doubt the decision-making ability of NBC, and whether they will manage to hold on for dear life.

Such are the bitter affairs of watching our heroes go up in flames….

I never knew Lauer was such a dick.

my roomate's ex-wife makes $79/hr on the laptop. She has been out of a job for 9 months but last month her pay was $8641 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Go to this web site CashLazy.*com.

She was the one bright spot and it is just another stupid move by NBC. I thought Lauer would be the one going. He is the one that is boring and uninteresting.

Matt thinks he is more important then he really is. They should can him and keep Ann!

Ann Curry is one classy lady….. Matt Lauer apparently is one big jerk!

If they had gotten rid of Matt Lauer and Al Roker, their show would have been in much better shape. Their failure of late has nothing to do with Ann Curry!

The fact that the ratings dipped so significantly when she took the seat speaks volumes. What else changed so dramatically? Dropping to your competition after 16 years with a new co-host says a lot. I think putting Curry in that position is similar to Couric going prime time. Wrong moves.

Interesting how they blame the female anchor for the shows demise. Of course it could never be ML… the mighty man of the morning news.

Not to mention… wasn't he pretty good looking at one time? What the heck happened to him. I know he was sick for a while and that is a separate matter. But I don't see how the blame can only be put on her?

When he was on PM Magazine he looked good. But that was so 30 years ago lol

I am disgusted with NBC, The Today Show, Savanah Guthrie and especially Matt Lauer. He is a waste of my time and is not worthy to be in the same league as Ms. Curry. Her compassion and intelligence and integrity and journalistic expertise put him to shame…..I have not one bit of use for him, NBC or Today.

I feel for AC and wish her the best and the best thing she can do is to just plain leave and work for another network, she is too good for that network and, nice to see a down to earth person stick it up his *** (ML) for the treatment she got, I mean what the hell, why cant they just say like normal people sorry to see you go but its in the networks interest and still treat each other like humans? too much bs on tv and this and the last generation all about status……but later on in his life he will need help to clean his own A88 just wonder if he will get the treatment he deserves then.

Whether it was right or wrong to let Curry take the fall for the ratings drop, it's not too shabby when you are going to get $20M to soothe your hurt feelings. And she still has a job. Not too many people get that. If my employer wants to demote me and give me $20M to make me feel better, I'm there.

They never even properly promoted Ann when she took the job. I basically didn't know that she was anchoring it with Lauer until they were talking about firing her. It's obvious that Lauer is the one who instigated this. He's such a fake. I think he should be fired outright.

you got the rigth idea, he is the one that should be gone he bores me any way and as long as he is there i will not watch that program.

I know several people who refuse to watch the show simply because of Matt. Ann is beautiful and intelligent. This was such a bad move. They will regret this.

She is! Always has been one of my favorites

Matt Lauer is a big jerk. I would have preferred that he leave and Ann stay.

The demise of this show is not the fault of one person. It is tired and old and Matt Lauer is a bore. I stopped watching because of him, not Ann Curry.

Curry is horrible. That's the reason I haven't been watching Today. Can't stand her. Now we will go back to watching Today, instead of the rival shows that don't come close. Matt Lauer does a great job. Savannah is a nice replacement.

Pretty interesting that all the women leave the show and Matt is still around. Katie left, Meredith left now Ann. I think NBC should look at the real problem. Nobody wants to work with Matt. He's a little princess. I'm glad I don't watch anything on NBC as that station sucks.

The money they are paid to Read the news is crazy!

I love watching Good Morning America

I feel bad for the way Ann was treated. She has been a good part to the show she will be missed. I wish people would remember that in America ther are no kings. Just Liars and sluts. I must say I am very disappointed in Natalie and Matt. They are causeing the trouble they should go. Good luck to them I don't watch them anymore. nothing worse than fake people. Fox is my morning show now…sianara NBC.

Sounds like Mr. look-at-me

And I'm another one. Lauer…you stink!

One word: Judas.

Jose Garcia My thoughts exactly. I don't usually take sides in these kinds of things, but Ann is real and likable while Lauer is a demanding jerk and Savannah Guthrie is a Barbie doll. I've switched to GMA and CBS This Morning, and am enjoying both the programming and the personalities much more. I won't watch Today as long as Lauer is host.

Absolutely. I hope the suits and Lauer are kicking themselves hard and often.

Or maybe the ratings dropped because people were watching Meredith Vieira, not Ann or Matt. Meredith would be a hard act for anyone to follow.

It's still a mans world.

matt treated anne like shit from the beginning.he didn't like her.you could tell.he never wanted to let her talk or laugh unless he had too.i don't like him.never have.

Always loved the "Today Show"! Now that Ann is out, our family is disgusted w/ this nasty way of doing business! Want watch the"" Today Show" any more. We should ask more questions, concerning why the women want stay on this show!

That shows you how out of touch liberals are with reality! Fricken idiots I tell you!!!

we no longer view the today show, we've chosen another network for our morning show,,,, miss you Ann!

"And most of all you made us better…" what a fatuous, self-serving a-hole. And check out the fury on his face when his attempt at kissing her failed. LOL!

I miss Ann. And ML is an arrogant man and a cry baby.

nuthin'

Wake up NBC, you fired the wrong one and it looks like most people feel the same way. Strange that all the women leave and Matt is still there. Savannah Guthrie isn't all that good either. Guess I'll go back to wathcing CNN Starting Point with Soledad O'Brien is much better.

I will not even allow NBC into my home – a hate the arrogant ass…

Anne needed more time to develop her interviewing skills – she would often come across as disingenuously concerned (but she wasn't, it was just demeanor) and would sit with hunched shoulders, all a little too passive. All that stuff needs time, she would have improved. With Savannah and Natalie, the show seems more like a weekend edition, very green. I don't have a sense of a solid core for the show anymore. At least with Anne it still felt like the Today show. Anne is not the reason the ratings are falling. She should move to another network, I'm sure anyone would be happy to pick her up!

Quinn- you're right JUDAS ..says it all! that obligatory goodbyes kiss reminds me .. Judas Escariot!….
