Meredith Vieira Officially Quits Today


In an announcement we all saw coming, Meredith Vieira got a little teary in the eyes this morning when she told the Today Show's viewers that she's quitting that bitch after 5 years in June to spend more quality time with her husband and children. Meredith will no longer spend her mornings verbally yanking at Matt Lauer's nuts and trying to figure out how Ann Curry's eyebrows came to be. Stonehenge brows is the make-up department's nickname for the shit Ann has over her eyes. But on to Meredith's announcement.

"This is a difficult day for me. I'm going to try to hold myself together here. After months of personal reflection and private conversations with my family and my friends I've decided to leave Today in June. Even as I say this, and I know it's the right thing, I'm really sad because for the past, I like to say 10 years, this has been my second home.

I've really had a great time, but time is one of those weird things you can never get enough of it. It just keeps ticking away. I know I want to spend mine with my husband Richard and kids who are now rolling their eyes and going, 'No more time, mom.' But I'm going to do it anyway. It means I can't be here every day. I hope to stay in the NBC family that is my goal."

Ann Curry will replace Meredith, Natalie Morales will replace Ann and Savannah Guthrie will replace Natalie.

It isn't a good morning until Ann Curry says it fifty times and nobody can read the news like she can (I'm lying), but her celebrity interviews are just a pile of lukewarm cheese vomit. Like this morning, NeNe Leakes was on (SPOILER ALERT) to talk about how she quit Celebrity Apprentice because the environment was just too toxic for her. Blah. Blah. Blah. And Ann actually faked sympathy by throwing NeNe an "awww" followed by a comforting knee grab. ANN! A stupid reality ho quitting a stupid reality show does not deserve a manufactured "aww." It deserves an eye roll followed by the line, "Oh, I'll tell the surviving victims of Chernobyl that they should stop their whining and pray for you to recover from the toxic poisoning you're suffering through."

There's going to be many looooong mornings now that I'm waking up to Ann.

How nice to be able to walk away from a job worth millions. I'm sure her bank account won't miss it. Boils my blood when these self important, overpaid journalists report on the hardships of everyday people. They pretend to be sympathetic and act like they can relate. Please spare me.

I watch I love lucy and Golden Girls reruns in the morning. The news is f'ing depressing...I stopped watching it long ago.

I actually watch the Today show every day, have for years. I liked Meridith. But Ann does bug me. She does well with the news but when she has to interview in a sympathetic story that whispery, empathetic voice is annoying.

This should be interesting. If Ann sucks, I may have to take my business elsewhere.

I officially quit this bitch known as The Today Show. Ann Curry annoys the shit out of me! I was really hoping this day would never come. Maybe they could bring Charlie Sheen in instead - I mean, it can't get much worse!!

Never a huge fan of Meredith either on The Today Show or The View but I really, really, really hate Ann Curry. I know I am not alone. Once this change takes place I am pretty sure they will no longer be the #1 rated morning show.

She slurs her words, she's a condescending, treacly interviewer that seems to love to hear the sound of her own voice.

It was bad enough having to listen to her read the news and then they gave her the 3rd hour with the equally, if not even more hated Al Roker (who has the sunny smile but you know it's all an act, cuz he's secretly just a huge prick), now she gets the big enchilada. Only time I'll be watching now is when she's not there.

I don't watch any of those morning news shows. So I don't really care.

I can't believe it's take THREE YEARS for Casey Anthony's trial to begin.

Rifuckingdiculous.

LaChaylo's picture

Don't care for morning shows, but I was disappointed NeNe quit. I was rooting for her crazy ass to just get to the final four, but ho didn't win shit for her charity and couldn't take the heat for all her shit talk. And good riddance to Star who looked like she was going to cry when she was fired. That look was priceless!

I adore Meredith. Her husband is very sick and her heart tells her to be with him now. I wish her well.

I think he has MS.

Ann Curry is a moron. Won't be able to watch that morning mess anymore.

All the hoes obsessed with the Casey Anthony trial, add me to the list! This is going to be some crazy ass shit, and I hope the state has their strongest Assistant DA on the case, because her lawyers are cunty, shifty little bastards.

Even if she is convicted, they will never sentence her to death UNLESS the details of her murder are especially egrigious or cruel. But juries just don't generally feel comfortable sending women to the death chamber.

Jury selection starts today. Can't wait to watch that bitch Nancy Grace.

too bad 'cos I like Meredith. she reports well, interviews well and still seems to have a hearty sense of humor. Ann Curry can't even read the morning news blurbs right without sounding like she's wrapped her tongue a few times around a telephone pole, plus her sympathetic nature makes her suck donkey balls as a reporter. Ann dear, real reporters don't fawn!!

Meredith's hubby been sick for years and I give her credit for taking a hike when most bitches would just hire a visiting nurse in a french maid's outfit to do double duty.

Athina's picture

This is not going to end well, because it always looks like Ann annoys the shit out of Matt. She is way to syrupy sweet. I cringe watching the interviews she does. The way she cocks her head and whispers when she is about to ask a tough question is almost like she is apologizing. Ugh.

Savannah is a great addition to Today show! Really like her personality.

Morning "news" shows like this are so annoying. There's too much of the hosts being cutesy-cutesy and very little news. Blah!

We have our own Ann Curry in Sac, this dumb bitch. http://www.kcra.com/kcranewsteam/293311/detail.html She once asked a firefighter if they were going to set up lights to fight a fire in the dark, he replied " It's a fire lady."

I bailed on the Today show when they began pimping for the Beijing Olympics six months before they started.

I always remember the time Stephen Colbert was talking to Meredith about Twitter and she asked, "Do you use Twitter?" and he responded, "Yes, I have twatted." Vieira looked like she just shit her panties.

For what it's worth, her husband has had MS for years and it only gets worse over time. I'm assuming she wants to spend as time with him as she can. Meredith never really bothered me, but Ann Curry always looks and sounds like she just woke up.

Fuck Ann Curry, she is so fake. Change the channel to 7, MK and watch Good Morning America on ABC.

she still has the Millionaire show paycheck so why the fuck get up at the buttcrack of dawn to slap on a fake face and pretend to like Matt and that exfatty weather douche if you don't really have to? Plus I don't think her face can take any more early mornings. yipes.
