7/9/2012 Ask Matt Lauer how he felt today going to work and stepping over Ann Curry's body. Savannah watch your back. Use to be a family. Not anymore. Time to find another morning show to watch.

As far as Ann Curry leaving I think is so sad. She was so full of compassion when she did her interviews. I as a long time viewer and note will continue do not feel Ann was the only reason for the ratings to drop.I have noticed a big change in the shows forum such as to much cooking fashion really what happen to more news human interest stories like with Bob Dotson and Mike Lenord that is what people want to see. Viewers loved the weddings on the plaza where in the world not everyother segment on cooking steals and deals fashion. Perhaps you should rethink your lineup.I am a 100% NBC fan but very shocked and disappointed in the dismissal of Ann.

Lynn Chester Yes Ann, you are good enough..You are kind, sensitive, and a wonderful person. I have watched the Today Show for years, Since Dave Garaway. If Today Show gets rid of you, I will stop watching. The show is getting too BIG HEADED about their hosts.

I think Ann Curry should stay on The Today Show! She certainly has paid her dues!! She has been on the show like 19 years!!! She does a fine job and she's Professional and just because Matt has a problem? Then let him leave!!! He's not a "looker"! Get a better looking guy to replace him!! I have to watch the Today Show everday and I don't have a problem with any of them so far? So if I'm ok with it, then it's all good!! Katie wasn't that great, so glad she's out of there, so Please don't bring her back!!!

The Today show producers were caught in a trap when Meredith left and Ann was still sitting in the wings. Ann Curry is not a face for a morning show, and is strictly a journalist. If anyone pays attention to her, they will quickly realize that she has no personality whatsoever. I could not believe that NBC cast her as an anchor, but understand that they were forced into a decision that they didn't want to make. They can now rely on the ratings loss as a reason for change, but lets be clear that Ann Curry had no business being the anchor of any talk show.

Ann is too Stale for Mornings, Hoda or Natalie should anchor with Matt. Move Ann to co-anchor Nightly News with Brian Williams
