Today show and Ann Curry's departure

Ann Curry was given 4 minutes and 20 seconds to say good bye on the Today show yesterday morning after 15 years. She was in tears. Everyone else looked very uncomfortable. Not a cake in sight. Not a collage of her work. Nothing. She said goodbye, they went to break and Savvana Guthrie was sitting in her seat after the break and Ann was history. Kind of a strange departure. chico

Now Chico......I know we get into some pretty "non Mexican" topics here but really, does anyone give a crap about this???? I for one have absolutely no idea what you are even talking about here.

In the US we have a show on NBC called Today and it has been on TV since
the 60's at least. For some reason when anybody leaves the show it is a
big deal in the media and Ann is leaving. I wouldn't expect you to know about
it CB but some people care greatly. Many people get quite attached to watching
these people. Chico is saying they didn't give her a very good goodbye.

Just another way that after dedicating years to a job, the company decides to get rid of you in a heartless way. Does it really pay to be a goody goody company man? Used to, but not any more because you have aholes running these companies only interested in their profit. So, move on and get promoted every 5 years.

That's why they make the big bucks. No job security. I have a hard time feeling too sorry for someone who got a $10 million severance and another job. I thought she was a nice gal but NBC sucks anyway and is biased beyond redemption. Firing her isn't going to change the plunging ratings.

OK....my bad. I suppose it is like when a character leaves Coronation Street.

Sorry Chico........jaja.

Damn. Just when I was gettting ready to respond with directing your attention to another thread on the Mirador, entitled "J.D. Power 2012 U.S. initial quality study". What the hell is Coronation Street? chico

Only the longest running soap in TV history. It is British based and been running since the early 60's. The Canadians love it.......

Google it.

LOL! Probably.

Curry seemed to be getting a little pissy over the years...Maybe their is more to the story then we know? BTW the morning CBS show is pretty cool now that they have Charley Rose as co-host.
