ANN CURRY announced her resignation as coanchor of the Today show in June 2012 after just one year on the job. Rumors swirled that network executives at NBC had been planning her departure for months, potentially pinning the show’s low ratings on Curry’s on-air personality. Meanwhile gossip columnists buzzed that Curry was forced out due to the way she dressed and her refusal to cover her gray hair. Now an NBC News national and international correspondent and Today anchor at large, Curry has a strong fan base that rallied behind her in the wake of what some maintain was an unfair dismissal from Today.
