Ann Curry Finally Ready For Her Close-Up
It’s finally Ann Curry’s time to shine on The Today Show. Curry has been the show’s news anchor for 14 years but is expected to step away from the news desk and succeed Meredith Vieira as co-host of the hugely successful morning show. Vieira plans to depart the show after five years in the co-hosting role alongside Matt Lauer so she can spend more time with her three children and her husband Richard Cohen. With Curry’s speculated promotion, Natalie Morales will move to the news desk and Savannah Guthrie, a White House correspondent and MSNBC anchor will take over Morales’ role as 9 am anchor.
