She was weak on cooking segments, celebrity interviews
It was just another day of salt in the wounds for Curry, who soldiered through a tearful on-air goodbye last week that many described as a public execution
Ann evidently didn’t curry any favor with the president of NBC News — who bashed her performance on the “Today” show, saying she was weak on cooking segments and celebrity interviews.
“We gave her a year to prove herself, and ultimately we came to the conclusion that she had played at the highest level she could,” Steve Capus told the Hollywood Reporter. “When you’re in the major leagues of our profession, you’ve got to continue to be at peak performance in order to stay there.”
Capus said Curry’s failures on the light segments that make up the bulk of the show sealed her fate. In his blunt assessment, he went on to say that the television veteran’s heart just wasn’t in it.

Because its THAT, that is the important news we all want to know.
Fox and Friends has fallen into the same category as the other liberal media with their friggin cooking shows and celebrity interviews. It has turned to crap.
I liked Ann.
She was only doing what was demanded of her in falling in with Liberals- whether she believed that bunk or not.
They ought to get rid of that serial adulterer, Lauer.
I despise that little weasel.
Are honkeys AND asians ok to throw under the bus? I forget the lib rules.
How Horribly Sexist!
Judged as a Fluffball doing Fluffball Work
How Nauseating is This
Wow, not only did they kick her to the curb, they threw her under the bus after they raped her!
When you’re weak on cooking assignments, well...
That would be an epitaph to be proud of.
In my world that's a good thing.
95% of the show’s content.
The other 5% liberal claptrap.
Comcast and NBC are treating Ann Curry the way the muslims in Egypt would treat her if she was reporting live from Tahrir Square.
Uhhhhh, yes.
They are trying to provide what the market wants at that hour, so who's really to blame?
What’s Chelsea (what is her married name?) good for?
I was in the community room of an apartment building and NBC News was on in the background. The last report of the night was from Chelsea Clinton, so I sort of listented to it while I did the work I was doing. She was high school-awful! Wooden delivery, no passion or real inflection in her voice and a just-the-facts-ma’am story. It was terrible. It was the kind of report one would expect from a TV station that was 150th in the market, not number 1.
In other words...she couldn't do the dumb stuff that the dumb-down audience can handle. No wonder those who watch NBC or the other alphabet stations have no clue about the truth of what is happening in the world. There is no real investigative journalism on their "news" shows...they are fed more information about how to make souffles, craft household trinkets, and who is sleeping with whom in Hollyweird. Real news reporting probably gets fewer bucks to investigate and is relegated to the short segments, hence there is no in-depth analysis, only surface mention. Anyway, when the real news comes on that's when most of their watchers probably leave the room. Liberals are not interested in the truth...it interferes with their enjoyment of simple topics.
‘Currying’ favor with mom & pop Clinton ....
