If any of you watch The Today Show on NBC, you probably see Anne Curry doing the news and interviews. I have admired her for a long time and even wondered why she didn't get Katie Couric's postion when she left the show to host the CBS evening news.
Ann is a top notch journalist, but something has changed about her that makes me wonder what is going on within her private life. I started noticing it a few months ago. Out of the blue she would make some insensitive, inappropiate comments to the person(s) she was interviewing and then just move on like it didn't happen. It has become frequent enough now, that I wonder why NBC isn't giving her some time off. I hope there is nothing physically wrong with her.
I was noticing it for awhile when she did an interview with Bindy Erwin, Steve Erwin's daugter. She asked Bindy to look at some photographs they had on the screen. The photos were of Bindy and her dad. Bindy had this big smile on her face and then Ann asked her what she thought about when she saw those photos. Bindy said, it makes me happy when I think about my Dad. Ann said "NO, I didn't ask you about your Dad!" The child's face looked horrified that she gave the wrong answer and her smile turned to a look as if she was going to cry. It was horrible.
Last week she was interviewing a couple who just had identical quads. She never even asked basic questions like how do you determine if quads are identical, but just told them several times how horrible the experience was going to be taking care of that many infants and bascially rained on their parade.
Last week THe Today Show was doing a contest about the location of a certain place that they would give clues for and the audience was supposed to guess the place. Ann comes on the air and starts giving her guesses out loud. Matt and Al seemed stunned and tried to play it down THEN they come back from break and she is not standing there with Matt and Al. She then runs onto the camera apologizing and saying she was talking and forget what time it was.
Today she was interviewing a mother and her 2 kids. Apparently the older boy had accidently caused their car to go into a lake. (The kids inside were rescued). Ann berated the boy on the air about how he should not have done what he did to cause the car to roll into the lake. True, but not Ann's place to say during the interview. The mom seemed stunned.
What is going on with her?
