Ann Curry Presents will be coming to you soon on CNN.

Someone else will grab her, she is too damn good.

Curry is a very good journalist, but unfortunately a terrible talk show host....

That's the problem with all the news programs though. They've become more like talk show programs instead of showing hard news or reporting. The closest exception is 60 minutes but even that program doesn't show important stories all the time.

Journalists just are not paid 12 million per year... If they cannot carry their own show they are just not very valuable.

Yep, it's time to retired or settle on 70K doing weekend news on one of the local affilaite channels. Hmmmm...Curry.

Don't blame Curry for that, blame the NBC management for that foolish contract and the expectations that went with it....
