BRING BACK ANN CURRY, NBC!

She was the best person on the Today Show, and got booted because of the Monumental Piece of Human Fucking GARBAGE you finally got rid of yesterday!

She deserves her Today job back. With a raise!

They should give it back to her.....she was the start of a good morning. Very professional, had a great sense of humor, and I think people related to her. I miss her.

I'm not sure she'd want to go back, and I can't say I'd blame her. But, I would still love to see it, especially if they gave her a huge pile of money for it.

who was waiting in the wings for Ann’s spot as Mattie was carving Ann up.

If Sammy had any class she would have refused the new job only made available by firing Curry. .

Who doesn't usually pay attention to national news people, would say when Lauer came on ...there is the s*** who ran off that girl who was so good ( hubby is 79 anyone who is under 50 is girl or boy). He was happy to see Lauer go like that.

I'd like to see Linda Ellerbee again. I always enjoyed the way she presented the news and did interviews. She is well into retirement now and I doubt she left due to any harassment allegations but it would be good to see her occasionally.

Her sob sister routines always annoyed the hell out of me.
She was canned in a brutal way but I would not be happy if they brought her back.
Hoda Kotbe is a bit too mushy but lots better than Ann.

and kept a smug, smarmy fuck like Matt Lauer.

I suspect some network executives had a blind spot for him because he reminded them of themselves and their friends, and they think they are quite likable.
