Ann Curry Says Goodbye To Today, Calls Matt Lauer "Glib"
Ann Curry announced on Today this morning the news we've all known for weeks: NBC did her dirty by pushing her out as co-host after just a year on the job. As Ann announced that today is her last day as co-host, she choked on Matt Lauer's smugness and cried, because she had to be a professional and resist the tempting urge to strangle him in front of the cameras. Ann said that she's staying at the network and will travel the world covering serious news stories for NBC News and Today. Ann said that she loves the viewers, will miss the viewers, especially loves the crew and hopes that Matt drowns in a pool of his own shit. Okay, Ann didn't say that last part, but I'm pretty sure I saw that line sitting at the tip of her tongue, waiting to fly.
Ann ended her BYE BITCHES speech by saying, "For all of you, who saw me as a groundbreaker, I'm sorry I couldn't carry the ball over the finish line, but I did try." Then Matt, Al Roker and Natalie Morales took turns telling their favorite Ann stories from the past 14 years. It felt like I was watching a memorial service with bright lightning. Ann isn't DEAD! I don't even know why Ann cried unless she was crying warm tears of happiness. Ann is getting millions of dollars in her exit settlement, doesn't have to look at Matt's baby ostrich head anymore and no longer has to go to bed when Jeopardy! comes on TV. Ann is the real winner here.
The most awkward part was when Ann hugged Al, hugged Natalie and didn't even try to hug Matt. We all know that feeling. Sometimes you don't hug a bitch you hate, because you're afraid that your arms will take over and squeeze that trick until their internal organs pour of their mouth. Then you'll do a dance on that bitch's insides. Ann probably felt that would be a little much for morning television.
Ann also gave an interview to USA Today last night where she said that she knew she was going to get fired and is sad to go, because the Today co-host job has been her dream job. Ann also said that the leaks about her firing have "hurt her deeply" and she doesn't blame herself for why Today's ratings are dropping. When asked about Matt, Ann said this:
"Obviously he's considered the golden boy of morning television. He's so good when you sit next to him; it's hard not to be helped by that. He's funny and glib, and he knows how the show works. It's been my honor in this last year to sit next to him."
GLIB!!! That tickling sensation Matt feels in his ears is from Tommy Girl loudly cackling in the distance. And with that subtle shade, Ann wins again. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, assholes, goodbye!

Matt Lauer is just jealous because this is all he can do. He isn't a journalist by any stretch of the imagination where as Ann Curry is going to continue to have an amazing career doing what he can't. If he really is responsible for her ousting then he has gone down even further in my estimation if that's possible.
I don' get the hate for Ann. Am I missing something? I think she is a decent enough journalist, she seems intelligent, personable & capable. She does lay on the sympathy/empathy a bit thick but I'd much prefer her over Matt. They all have inflated ego's and get paid WAY TOO MUCH money anyway.
I felt sorry for her because she was genuinely upset. But on the flip side she gets 10 MILLION dollars. She could retire and live a life of luxury. But that type(famous journo's/celebs) never do. They must miss the limelight because they sure don't need the cash.
Ann Curry is no saint! Ask any of her neighbors as redoes her apartment for the upteenth time. Or how callous she was to the squatters in her "abandoned" brownstone. I guess with her 10 million she can renovate another brownstown and piss off another section of NYC.
IF Curry had a brain, she would have know she was not cut-out for that job. She also had worked with Lauer for nearly 20 years and knew how he operated. Did she think she was special? Idiot.
I would not have shown up. I would have taken my moola and let Lauer make the announcement.
As far as Al Roker being in on it, he can't even keep his lipoband in place. How chunked up he's become.
I give shark toothed Savanah six months tops! She is almost as bad as Curry and Natalie will be gone be next week.
Good luck in London!
She called him "glib." *snickers*
LOL Loopy, OK, if I was paid THAT MUCH maybe I'd be very gracious too. Actually, don't mind Ann, but this is too much drama with my morning coffee!
Having you give everyone a parting gift magic touch, one, would be too good for this bunch, two, you'd be feeling up the good with the bad. You are braver than I, cuz I'd be gagging the whole time. You, no! You, ok! You, HELL YES COME HERE! hahahahahahah ღ

Matt's wife looks miserable.
pretty sure they gave her the cushy job so she wouldn't have done what imo she should have done, which is give them a double middle finger salute and said "SUCK MY BALLS" and walked out.
at least Wackvannah wasn't on there faking concern because everyone knows that bitch is gunning for Ann's empty seat.
David Gregory might have been good in this role...I'm not feeling him so much on Meet The Press. but in his defense, he had a hard act to follow with Tim Russert...Tim Russert was amazing.

Katie Couric is a guest on Andy Cohen's show Watch What Happens Live tonight - so far it's about halfway in and no mention of this drama but Andy asked Katie what's the most annoying thing about Matt as a co-host and she said that he pinches her ass all the time! hahaha

i guess with that $20mil i can also employ slaves to massage my hands after the farewell gift to the people.
It's always pained me to watch Ann Curry try to do soft interviews. She's a good journalist and she seems nice but she gives the worst "normal people/sad story" bits ever. With her celebrity interviews veering into fangurling until recently, unless she's doing exactly what she'll be doing now, Dateline-style stories, she was horrible. I've changed the channel to avoid the awkwardness of some of her interviews.
I'd like to know what she meant with her "groundbreaking" comment. Was she the first Asian-American woman on early morning television? Julie Chen was the first morning host, I know.
I know I'm in the minority, but I like Savannah. She could use an actual hairstyle, but she's smart and can be funny. I don't mind her lack of lips.
If Matt had suddenly been nice to Ann this morning, it would have looked weird. At least most of them weren't too hypocritical and Ann gave most of her thanks to the people behind the camera.
Damn, tl;dr myself.
MK this is such a great post, especially the last line, I'm stealing it for my own funeral!!
Ann always seemed far more "real" than anyone else on Today.
And why is Matt Lauer running the GD show? His presence on it, is part of the reason that I usually don't tune in.
People get fired and demoted all of the time. What rubs me the wrong way is that NBC management, or a powerful staffer, started a whisper campaign on the internet against Ann months ago.
"groundbreaker" = not fucking Lauer for the hosting gig

That Savannah chick - who was on during the 9:00 hour (further twisting the knife and supporting my Viagra theory) will tank this show. If they want my attention, let Hoda and Kathie Lee start the booze-fest after the headlines at 7:00.

If I was given any amount of money that ended with the word million, could start to sleep in late, and didn't have to sit next to Glib Lauer anymore, I'd be so happy I wouldn't bother showing up for my last day of work.
When Meredith Viera left she got endless tributes, Carole King singing, a video montage with some Journey song, and everyone crying for the entire 2 hours. Ann got nothing but the door. Ouch. I was never a fan of hers, but she deserved more. I love how she blew off that self important dweeb lecherous Matt Lauer.
Wait! And the set designer still has a job?
Fuck Matt Lauer and all of the bitches in the good ol boys clubs. I'm so sick of these men running and deciding on every goddamned thing in this world. Put your damn dicks away and use your real minds for a change.
To all of the good, honest men out there, thank you for being upstanding.

Disgusting...that's the only way to describe what they did to such a wonderful, respectful intelligent woman like Ann Curry.
It's sad seeing someone as sweet as Ann so unhappy but the worst is that she apologized with that FUCKING prick Matt Lauer sitting there pretending to care. I feel like I'm the only one who absolutely hates him and can't understand why anyone would want to watch him. Very sad for Ann but it's hard to relate to someone with a $10 million severance and millions already in the bank. I do wish her the best and hope she leaves the peaCOCK network.
Somewhere out there, Tommy Girl is feeling smug and saying "TOLDJA".
**********
Shiitake happens...
Don't watch this show. These people seem like a bunch of idiots.
Can't say I was ever a fan of hers, but she was done in by the good-old-boy network. They need to tell Lauer to keep it in his pants or say good-bye. No one indispensable.
She seems really nice. Why did NBC fire her? Their loss.
Really, they should have promoted her more. The Olympics would have been a perfect time to get their ducks in a row. Honestly, who is running that network?
At least they didn't pretend that everything was rosey and Ann was leaving on her own accord.
She lost the $20M severance negotiation which would never stand up in court. If she sued, NBC would drag her through the mud in the media and courts, and she'd pay dearly for fighting them and probably wouldn't win; because she's incompetent, they fired her. Her legal fees alone would be 33% of the $20M or however much she sued NBC for, and her rep in the industry would be trashed. Not worth it.
She's staying on as a "correspondent" and is going to the Olympics. The deal she got was a $10M parting gift and the correspondent gig. Big question is did she forfeit the remaining $10M on her contract for correspondent pay? OR did NBC offer her 10M up front and will prorate the other $10M over time (two years, three years?) before they fire her? And when WILL they fire Curry, because you know they will.
Glib..haha..superficial. Breathy and stupid like a fox, that one.
-----------------------------
Fair is foul and foul is fair..
I wept so hard for you this morning Ann but then I heard about this rumor about Matt boinking Natalie and something about Matt's wife looking for a guillotine to chop off his peen cause that bixch makes it look at the wrong things. Just between you and me Ann I think Matt is in deep shit too....

if somebody paid me $20 million to leave my job, id give everybody a handjob or a finger bang from the top floors of the executive down to the mail room guy and janitor.
yes my hands would be sore by 5pm that afternoon, but i leave work knowing that im $20 million richer and everybody has got something to remember me by.

You can buy a lot of carpal tunnel surgery with $20 mil, yo.
I'd take that deal. Call me whatever you want, fire me on live TV, but if you give me $20 mil to walk away, I would take that deal any day of the week.

Awww, every time I see someone cry, my black heart betrays me and I end up crying in empathy too. :(
Matt can glib all over me anytime!
Matt must be getting a little uneasy because we are not the only people asking what he's even good for. Except sticking his dick where it doesn't belong.
I only caught a part of this, and I had to stop watching. Al was sitting there looking bored to death, and it was all so uncomfortable. I bet they all went and had some good stiff drinks after that.
Back in the day, I worked with Matt Lauer's sister. She was nice, but the epitome of spinster cat lady. She dressed like Susan Boyle. Anyway, he was on Channel 9 doing the weather at the time (or some shit) and she talked about how girls would throw themselves at him. He had hair then.

When he first started reading the news on Today I did fantasise about him wearing his black office socks and nothing else. But this was a brief mental affair that ended when he fell in love with someone else - himself.

HATE Glib greyhound face Lauer. HATE! I've been in that type of situation sans ANY money. Steve Hearn from Chicago, IL -- real estate -- YOU ARE SCUM!!! Back in the day when he married his 2nd wife, they couldn't adopt here in Chicago. So she set up house in Florida, and he'd visit most weekends. THEY ARE TRYING TO ADOPT THEIR FIRST BABY. And he's fucking his assistant in Chicago who got pregnant and had to have an abortion. NICE!!! He hit on EVERYONE in the office. I finally told his father EVERYthing, and that was it for me. Lauer isn't far removed from the shit I've read about him. These men deserve some baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad shit. Glib REALLY does have a bad case of greyhound mug:

btw, to all you bitches bitching about Matt, please know that years before he was tapped to do TODAY, he co-anchored the news and a newsmagazine-type show here in NYC, so whether he had a college degree or not is pretty much no news.

It's not about a degree as it is about doing the hard yards- real reporting out there, not just hosting. He's light.

Switching to GMA! The only reason we watched the Today Show was because of Ann Curry!
I only watch NBC for Dateline and Keith Morrison. I don't think he can go out in the sun but if he could he'd be great on Today. (J/K)
When I want news I go to CBS and entertainment ABC.
WTF did she supposedly do to get fired anyway? My entire life has been focused on even more boring PTA drama, so I have never even heard about this shit until today.
