On the “Today” show this morning, Ann Curry was discussing (briefly) the horrific tsunami in Asia, and how there is a lack of warning system enabled for much of the region. Before tossing to the CNBC Asia anchor, she said something along the lines of “I guess this lack of warning system is a topic of discussion today?”
It doesn’t seem that bad written down, but in context of the audio/video, it was pretty harsh. Curry seemed a little uncomfortable in the hosting chair that she’s currently sitting in, frankly. I think she should stick to the news, because she doesn’t appear to dig the fluffiness of going from one story about thousands dead to, just a few minutes later, another about some woman’s dog eating her Christmas gifts and if the credit card company will reimburse her.

Ann Curry is out of her league with Matt and Katie, and it shows more and more. She acts emphatic, with an emphasis on the acting. She went today from the heart felt disaster to iPods in a cheery fashion. She asks compound questions in interviews, and doesnt have any sense of direction. I dont understand why she remains on the show, except to make the headliners look even better.

Ann Curry remains on the show because she is competent, though possibly not anchor worthy in her presentation alone, she’s refreshingly different in her naivety and positive demeanor, and she’s mouth-watering to look at. I’d much rather call her for a date over Katie. MUCH sexier.
