Okay, I am sorry.. I think it sucks when anyone has a publicly humiliating moment... and I think ann is 'nice' but she was ALWAYS awkward in interviews... I never understood how she got the anchor position to begin with... she needed another more touchy feely venue. I wasn't surprised.
NOT ANY MORE! I haven't watched since the disgusting DUMPING of Ann Curry. If you can't run a program without dignity you don' t deserve to be in the media business.
Matt Lauer is an ego-maniac. I have hated him from the get-go. Ann Curry was classy and dignified. Just happened to be home the day of Ann's departure. That was so painful to watch. SHAME, shame on NBC! During the Olympics I was just stunned and angry at the little stupid skits the Today Show cast did. YUCK! I like GMA....there seems to be a seamless flow among all the anchors regardless of who is there from day to day. I like it. Positive and fun! I like CBS This Morning too for more serious stories.
I have not watched the show since that day...
I stopped watching the Today Show after the executives fired Ann Curry. I have not watched the since...
