YOU CAN’T FIRE ANN mthfkn CURRY!! Or at least that is how Curry was feeling this morning.
Hours after news surfaced that she would be fired next month as co-host of NBC’s Today show, Ann Curry wasn’t even expected at work.
Reports surfaced Wednesday afternoon that Curry, who took over the anchor chair June 9, 2011, would be removed from her spot as Matt Lauer’s cohost.
Ann chilling on the couch next to Lauer like nothing happened. Meanwhile her fellow employee looks at her like “the audacity of this bish.”
The New York Times reported that NBC executives were preparing for Curry not to show up on Thursday.
On Wednesday it was reported she would be gone from her role before the Summer Olympics begin July 27. NBC has the rights to air the Olympics and the whole show will be anchored from London.
On Wednesday, Today show producers contacted Hoda Kotb, who co-hosts the fourth hour of the program, and told her to be ready to go on the air at 7am.
But Curry, who reportedly makes $2 million a year, was there, acting like normal.
‘Good morning Twitterverse,’ she tweeted to her 1.2 million followers on Thursday. As soon as she sat down on the couch she let it be known that she was not to be played with.
‘Good morning. From hot to hotter. You thought yesterday was a scorcher? In many places in the East today, it’s going to get even hotter,’ she said at the opening of the show.
Curry has taken the blame from many at NBC for the Today show’s ratings decline. The program lost the top spot among network morning shows this spring, a position it had held, unbroken, since 1995.
Negotiations are currently underway with network executives to move Curry into a new job, likely as a foreign correspondent.
But, she’s apparently not leaving without a fight.
‘She got her dream job, and she doesn’t want to let it go,’ a source told the Times.
ANN CURRY AIN’T NO PUNK!

TAMRON HALL! Ambitious, Beautiful and SHARP!
WHAT THE HECK ARE YA'LL TALKING ABOUT?
I betcha they are bringing back Katie Curic,
It's not Ann that needsto be fired….ratings are dropping because of Matt Lauer. Ann Curry exudes class, empathy, and compassion for her guests while still getting the meat of the interview.
MATT DID NOT WANT HER AS THE CO-HOST HE WANTED SOMEONE MORE LIKE KATIE OR THE LAST CO HOST. I WATCHED HIM SNUB HER AT EACH SHOW. I GUESS HE GOT WHAT HE WANTED.
yay! ann curry is fired! couldn't STAND her! and matt is an insensistive sociopath also.
Ann Curry is a very classy, professional reporter. I have always admired her skills in reporting and empathy for others. Matt Lauer is a prima donna. Not sure what his problem is with Ann, but I am guessing he has problems with lots of the staff on NBC.
She will go on to bigger and better things and the next cohost will probably flounder under all the pressure. Matt has overstayed his welcome.

NBC you are making a big mistake Ann goes we the fans will go too.
Very interesting that Ann Curry is the reason for low ratings, yet on the Daytime Emmy Awards, The Today show won for best morning show!!!
Something’s is not right here….not Ann Curry’s fault.
I agree 100%! Ann Curry was a prize for Today. I loved when she interviewed guests. 10 times the interviewer Matt Lauer is! He's the one that should leave. I'm so sick of his "Where in the World Is Matt Lauer" What a waste of time, fuel and money!
I think that Ann Curry should have someone look into all of the details of her contract with NBC/ The Today Show. I think that she may have them on a breach of contract. I can remember when Ann Curry was a reported out in the field when she first got started. I watched it from time to time for Ann and Al which made it what it was no one else.
