Ann Curry Loses by a Nose

Ann Curry suffered a nasty injury Wednesday on "Today." Nope, it didn't happen in the Middle East. It happened at 30 Rock in the Big Apple.

Curry was going through a revolving door (this is not a veiled reference to talent) in between segments on the show, when she hit her face on the door, breaking her nose. Curry finished the show with a broken schnoz.

Curry, ever the trooper, did not show up for work Thursday. But it's not because she's too vain or a wuss. Ann was in New Orleans, interviewing Brad Pitt.

I have always liked Ann Curry. It was Katie and her condescending manner that made me turn off Today.

#16 I agree with you totally. Ann has such class - and to finish the show with a broken nose? Come on, would Katie Couric have done that? Ann should have gotten that job over Meredith.

nick @ 4:39 pm IT IS SO SAD THE TMZ ALLOWS PEOPLE LIKE THIS TO MAKE SUCH RACIST COMMENTS. WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO CALL THIS WOMAN A SPOOK? THE LACK OF EDUCATION ON THIS WEBSITE IS UNREAL.

Ann Curry has been a favorite of mine since she anchored an early morning news show. I actually got up earlier to see her before going to work. She's one of the few who shows she has a warm heart when she's doing an interview.
I love her style and grace. She's an ideal for any young woman to look up to. Ann, you're totally awesome!

This is precisely the reason why I thought Ann should have been given an anchor "chance" - as opposed to Meridith! Ann has been a loyal, faithful, and well liked employee. The audience definately trusts her. But NBC passed her over for the over rated, over-inflated Meridith. Loyality should have at least meant Ann was given a chance. This incident truly shows what a trooper Ann is and she is as good, if not better than any Katie replacement. NBC: Wake up and realize what you have right in front of you is a talented, trusting news co-anchor...not some middle age celebrity gossip.

Ann Curry has always been a real and wonderful human being. She should be commended for staying on the show in spite of a very painful broken nose. Quit the dissin'!The Today Show should've had Ann replace Katie Couric instead of Meredith Vierra. She always has a positive outlook and NEVER interrupts while she's interviewing like some of the other young brunette females who are so into themselves they forget what their topic is! Aren't there any blondes or redheads available for the Today Show? You guys need to complain about that!

Why in the world on people picking on her?? I think she is great and I always wondered why they didn't replace Katie Couric with Ann who is so much better!!!

I am so sorry about Ann Curry breaking her nose. She is a lady all the way. I think she has more talent in her pinkie finger than Katie Couric has in her whole body. Ann is smart, pretty and very much an asset to the "Today" show. I admire her very much.

What an angry group. I enjoy the Today Show, and I enjoy Ann Curry. She's a decent person who works hard, takes some incredible risks by taking on dangerous news assignments and doesn't make a lifetime commitment of complaining about everybody and everything (unlike the cast of characters above, bashing her because she injured herself). Nick, Gin & Alex, listen up... While you spend your life sitting in front of your computer whining away about the imperfections of the world, Ann Curry spends time in places like Iraq getting the story out... That takes guts. But, I guess strong women scare people like you... Lighten up, chill out, and be kind to people, would you please?

Ann Curry has always been kind and gentle and not boring or intimidating like some other loud-mouthed reporters. She's very profressional in her interviews. People should not be wishing other human beings bad things like braking her neck and such.

How the hell are my comment RACIST!!!??????????????????????????

In addition, I would match my education against yours any day of the week. Furthermore, I am NOT throwing shots. I watch the Today Show EVERY DAY. I have an informed opinion. Ann Curry IS A SPOOK. In my opinion, a SPOOK is a weird person that makes you shake your head. Natalie Morales and Campbell Brown are 50 times more talented than Curry and she knows it. She always looks at the monitor to see if she is the center of attention.

She will NEVER be Katie Couric, but she tries so hard to emulate her with no success.

Get out!

Ms. Curry needs to go away. She is NOT a nice person. A broken nose is too easy on her. Last year, while covering Hurricane Katrina in a boat, she watched while an abandoned dog paddled after her. Did she rescue the dog? NO!!!! She saw and mentioned it, and the cameraman filmed it, but they didn't rescue the dog! Shame on her! Shame on NBC! Shame on anyone else in that boat!
I will watch the Today show the day after she is fired, as she should have been last year. SHAME!!
