Ann Curry Says Goodbye To Today, Calls Matt Lauer "Glib"
Ann Curry announced on Today this morning the news we've all known for weeks: NBC did her dirty by pushing her out as co-host after just a year on the job. As Ann announced that today is her last day as co-host, she choked on Matt Lauer's smugness and cried, because she had to be a professional and resist the tempting urge to strangle him in front of the cameras. Ann said that she's staying at the network and will travel the world covering serious news stories for NBC News and Today. Ann said that she loves the viewers, will miss the viewers, especially loves the crew and hopes that Matt drowns in a pool of his own shit. Okay, Ann didn't say that last part, but I'm pretty sure I saw that line sitting at the tip of her tongue, waiting to fly.
Ann ended her BYE BITCHES speech by saying, "For all of you, who saw me as a groundbreaker, I'm sorry I couldn't carry the ball over the finish line, but I did try." Then Matt, Al Roker and Natalie Morales took turns telling their favorite Ann stories from the past 14 years. It felt like I was watching a memorial service with bright lightning. Ann isn't DEAD! I don't even know why Ann cried unless she was crying warm tears of happiness. Ann is getting millions of dollars in her exit settlement, doesn't have to look at Matt's baby ostrich head anymore and no longer has to go to bed when Jeopardy! comes on TV. Ann is the real winner here.
The most awkward part was when Ann hugged Al, hugged Natalie and didn't even try to hug Matt. We all know that feeling. Sometimes you don't hug a bitch you hate, because you're afraid that your arms will take over and squeeze that trick until their internal organs pour of their mouth. Then you'll do a dance on that bitch's insides. Ann probably felt that would be a little much for morning television.
Ann also gave an interview to USA Today last night where she said that she knew she was going to get fired and is sad to go, because the Today co-host job has been her dream job. Ann also said that the leaks about her firing have "hurt her deeply" and she doesn't blame herself for why Today's ratings are dropping. When asked about Matt, Ann said this:
"Obviously he's considered the golden boy of morning television. He's so good when you sit next to him; it's hard not to be helped by that. He's funny and glib, and he knows how the show works. It's been my honor in this last year to sit next to him."
GLIB!!! That tickling sensation Matt feels in his ears is from Tommy Girl loudly cackling in the distance. And with that subtle shade, Ann wins again. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, assholes, goodbye!
• 
Tommy Girl was on to Matt before most and he caled him out on it on national TV. Glib is the new Fuck You. Ha!

Ann, cheer up girl... you still have your looks unlike Matt who's head is looking like a cross between kiwi fruit and my dog's balls.
hahahahahaha!!

The ship is sinking cuz natalie Morales is leaving too.
"Matt...Matt, Matt, Matt...you don't even...you're GLIB." HAHAHAHAHAHA

Ann was wrong for that job. And this is why I hate the media..they all get paid way too much, and they think they're bigger than the news they report.

She didn't leave with as much class as Jane Pauley, but then again, Jane got the BOOT, because of Deborah Norville. And that was just the beginning of this type of back stabbing unprofessional behavior. Plus, salaries exploded and they all thought they were the news...and that the "world" they cover is beneath them.
Curry didn't need to show this emotional display. I hope she follows through and brings some international news that is legitimate to this network news division that is just....too vapid to be viewed as credible. IMHO.

Now, in my defense, Aunt Flo is paying me a visit, but I cried along with Ann when I watched that. They did her dirty is right.
LMAO at the 'glib' comment.
Ann was never the right choice for this job however, NBC should have known that, she was there for 13 years before she became a permanent co-anchor and was always filling in when someone was away, talk about dumb. Matt is simply jealous of Ann, she is a real journalist and doesn't do shitty Lindsay Lohan stories comfortably. Matt never even graduated high school, let alone anything else. I mean he used to be a fucking painter. Anne also has over 1.25 million twitter followers and Matt has a measly 185 thousand! This will be a ratings disaster for NBC, The public do not like seeing someone with integrity humiliated like that, it's like they have blamed her for everything. They totally need to clean house.
Dirty Sancho, you tried to sleep with your co-workers and when they refused you had them fired? That's awful! Just kidding!
ISN'T THIS THE GROUNDBREAKING JOURNALIST THAT BASICALLY ATTACKS BRAD PITT WHEN SHE INTERVIEWS HIM?

I can't believe that she went there GLIB! HAHAHA Matt you pretentious cunt.
I sort of wish that Bryant Gumble would come back and give a verbal beat down to Lauer.

Yet again, no idea who this is or what this entry is about, but this woman looks like she could be very annoying.
*****************
She IS very annoying especially when she interview St. Angie Ho. The way she fawns over her and acts like a giddy fan is vomit inducing.
Hahaha Glib Lauer! I wonder if Glib tried to sleep with Ann early on and she said no so now he hates her? That's what happened with two of my coworkers.
I give Ann a lot of credit for sitting next to that dick Matt.
Love that she got the "glib" jab in.
she did seem extra happy this morning when I tuned in. didn't know she made the official announcement. she must have gotten PAID. good for her. :D
please no Wackvannah Mushrie as the permanent host.

thank you for the edumacation.
lol i always wondered what glib was, but never thought of looking it up.
It's hard for me to feel all that bad. She has gone really far, much farther than many talented journalists. It's a mean game, and it is entertainment. Most of us in the normal and boring-as-all-hell world put up with a great deal more, for CONSIDERABLY less $$$.
I do believe Ann had good intentions, but this is a nasty little world we live in. The entertainment industry is SO much worse...it's a pseudo world of fakery and backstabbing.
In any event, I would just take my settlement and ENJOY my life. She has so much to give - she can do that for others who appreciate it.
That was one of the most painfully awkward things I have ever seen. Having been fired before, it's hard to keep your dignity, let alone have to sit next to the ahole who did you in and remain composed. Wow, she couldn't even look at Matt or Al. She knows Al has something to do with it as well.
I WOULD QUIT MY JOB FOR 1 MILLION.. NO DOUBT.
EXCEPT IF IT WAS SUCKING PEEN OF A GREAT LOOKING STUD WITH A HANDSOME PEEN. THEN I WOULD ASK FOR 5 MILLIONS AS MINIMUM.
I JUST NEED TO GET LAID. I WAS SUPPOSED TO GET LAID THIS WEEK BUT OH! NOT ANYMORE.

yes my hands would be sore by 5pm that afternoon, but i leave work knowing that im $20 million richer and everybody has got something to remember me by.
what is glib?
I remember when Glib was Bryant Gumbel's butt boy AND had hair. What a douche!

"Who reads books?! Who does that?!" ..... Gia Giudice
I am glad she's leaving. I couldn't stand it when she would interview sensitive subjects and would literally whisper through the whole thing. Barf.
who in the fuck considered Ann "a groundbreaker"? she went from being a news blurb reader to a really shitty, close-talking co-anchor. personally, I'm glad she's gone, but having that white bread, bobblehead, Savannah Guthrie next to Matt is barely going to be a step up.
btw, to all you bitches bitching about Matt, please know that years before he was tapped to do TODAY, he co-anchored the news and a newsmagazine-type show here in NYC, so whether he had a college degree or not is pretty much no news.
oh yeah, and I ain't crying in my soup for Ann, it's not like she's going to disappear into the sunset. even if she did, that 'hos got many millions to sleep on and yes, I'd trade my "dream job" for $10 million ANY DAY, so qwitcherbitchin' missy...
Yet again, no idea who this is or what this entry is about, but this woman looks like she could be very annoying.
Poor Ann. I must admit I could not be that kind. My ass would be on GMA tomorrow talking all the shit up and helping GMAs ratings followed by the bitchfest The View.
I'M GLAD I DON'T HAVE TO WATCH THAT SHOW ANYMORE. I STILL WATCH MURDER/CRIME SHOWS IN THE MONRING... OR THE NEWS, WHICH IS BASICALLY THE SAME.
SHE SHOULD EXPOSE HIM FOR THE GLIB HE IS.

This is so true. Matt wasn't recognized as being a total dick until Meredith left because both Katie and Meredith carried his uneducated ass. Ann's only fault in this is that she was probably too nice/too agreeable in the beginning, thereby exposing her as vulnerable...making it easy for him to go in for the kill - especially after he negotiated his over-the-top contract.
In the end, I don't really care - I just HATE seeing people publicly humiliated when they don't deserve it. I will continue to watch GMA where I can hear real news and not a recap of yesterday's TMZ stories.

Classy lady. Loved how she snubbed Glib. Glib Lauer has always been and will always be a supreme douchebag.
Who da fuk is this Matt cunt anyway. He was always carried by real journalists as co-anchors like Meredith Vieira because he has no proper credentials. That's why it's so hard to build the show around him, because all the pressure is on his co-host. If he's such a golden boy then why are they slipping. Watch them struggle because he's considered so important. They're only encouraging him to be a douchebag. His poor wife.

Well I watch this morning and it made me sad. Been watching this shitfest for 15+ years off and on. This was handled terribly. Poor Ann, I didn't like her in this role but she can be a good journalist.
Too bad NBC. Imma miss those horns in the morning.
Meeer
MEEEERRRRRR.
Meeeerrrrr.
Still don't know who any of these people are except I've heard the name Matt Lauer before. I think I should be at least 30 before watching morning news.
I am...doll parts...bad skin...doll heart.
My screen was light blue all morning, until 10 when Hoda and Kathie Lee came on. I had to pretend to watch Kelly and Michael. Shit was awful.

Ugh, how humiliating for her. I wish she would have landed a flying elbow right in Matt's crotch.

AW HELL YEAH!!! that would be somethin to see!

Help me!
She called that homely motherfucker glib. I love it. She just rose a notch in my book.
Regardless of how you feel about her ability to effectively co-host this stupid ass show, she handled all of this shit talk about her these past few weeks with honor, dignity, and grace, and for that alone I have profound new respect for her. I don't think I could have sat through this segment with Matt Lauer rubbing my shoulders without elbowing him right square in the nuts, for all of America to see. In fact, I know I couldn't have done it, so kudos to her. She will be just fine.
Matt Lauer has risen to be a complete fucking TOOL. I remember when he was just a fucking little pee-on when Bryant and Katie were rocking that show. He didn't even have a college degree and if I remember correctly, he came on board with NBC as an intern. Well Matt, the bigger you rise, the harder you fall. You'll get yours someday, you GLIB piece of shit.
Team Ann.
"My pug is smarter than your honor student."
@beb - HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Too funny.
I will say that I didn't watch this, but I did see a tape recording of it, and it seemed extremely AWKWARD. If I knew I was getting the axe, it would be very hard to drag myself into that job this week. Then, to have to sit next to Glib Lauer while I had to publicly announce my departure...couldn't be easy for anybody. I do love the fact though that she got that "glib" comment in. If I was her, I would have left the network. Screw them.

Til this DAY, I can't see Leno..

WORD. I don't care who's on I don't watch. I'd love to see Ann go on Conan to commiserate, but since she still works at NBC, that won't happen.
============================================
I can't watch any of these talk show guys other than Craig Ferguson and his robot skeleton sidekick who makes me cry laughing. The rest of these guys are fucking PAUINFUL to watch. If these guys were new comics trying to do those shitty monologues they'd be booed of the stage in a heartbeat.
