- In her first television interview since leaving NBC, Ann Curry is speaking out about the #MeToo movement. Curry, who's making a much-anticipated return to TV with her new PBS show, "We'll Meet Again," was with NBC's "Today" show for 15 years. She co-anchored alongside Matt Lauer from 2011 to 2012 before a highly publicized break with the broadcast. Curry left NBC in 2015 and created her own production company. Curry joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss why she's "not surprised" by the sexual misconduct allegations against Lauer and how she's moved on from a period in her life that "hurt like hell."

When she left I quit watching NBC. She is a class act.
damn, me too
Me too, not the #metoo metoo. The me too I also stopped watching the Today show me too.
Harely Morenstein you won't be missed
Harely Morenstein my man!
Same here. It all went downhill after that for me. I saw what Matt was really like (professionally/unprofessionally at least) and it left a sour taste. Al is the only one that I still respect.
Ann obviously doesn't want Matt Lauer's BS to be her legacy. Go Ann! She is classy and called him out in a very obvious, but not overly emotional way.
Eva Milam Yes I like that, too! Good job, Ann.
Eva Milam,
Haha... it seems women can do no wrong.
"We need to speak out!'"
"She didn't really speak out? Well... Good for her! She's protecting her legacy, not protecting the abusers." ~wink, wink~ "You go girl!"
"And everyone should understand that it isn't actually a strategic calculation of keeping quiet when there is something to gain, and only speaking out, virtue signaling and playing the victim if and when it becomes more advantageous... the real reason is it's women's prerogative to change their mind so choosing to not speak out is actually empowerment... yeah... that's it."
No one asked her to bash Matt Lauer. The panel asked her to recount facts - her evasion, her persistence to maintain "political correctness", her silence is what caused suffering. People who sexually harass others deserve no sympathy. Public humiliation is the least of consequence.
We already know Matt is in the wrong...what else is there to speak out about him?? To me it would just be beating a dead horse.
Once again, not about bashing matt lauer. Its about recounting facts and data instead of emotional non-arguments- because one of those things bolsters a movement and the other hurts it. I'll let you decide which is which.
Ann has such a nice clear soothing speaking voice. I wish she would narrate a few audiobooks.
Alovatololo so true! I could listen to her all day
+Alovatololo - You are so right on - Send your suggestion to the appropriate parties concerned - I am a big fan of audiobooks.
asmr voice
Met3lAngel GENIUS! That would be wonderful.
just love it
Always liked Ann Curry - felt she was well spoken and trustworthy
I agree with your comment sir. I am so happy for her,she has always been a great Journalist. Her new show is perfect for her and I love that title for the show. "We'll Meet Again." Hmmmmm,very interesting she definitely did meet again in her Journalism Career.
Her silence back then and even now, contributes to abuses by Matt Lauer... I bet she would refuse to go to court against him... Thus, she's an enabler... Monsters love these kinds of simps...
Anne Curry is a class act!
She contributed to his abuses, by not speaking up... How many women became victims because of her silence? 10... 100... more? are you proud of that?
Ann Curry wins. There may be justice in this world after all.
waratah234 karma karma karma....what you put into the universe comes back to you
Lol
We've been shown, yet again, that evil doesn't triumph over good.
She could have gone to this interview and bashed Matt Lauer. But she decided to take the high road, classy move. And she looks great!
No one asked her to bash Matt Lauer. The panel asked her to recount facts - her evasion, her persistence to maintain "political correctness", her silence is what caused suffering. People who sexually harass others deserve no sympathy. Public humiliation is the least of consequence.
Because she doesn’t want to lose money or power if she says something that someone might sue her for later. Plain and simple. An NDA doesn’t prevent you from talking, it just means you will have to pay some form of payment if you break it. Duh
lmao
Sours Tube I don't think so. She seems to be a genuinely kind, thoughtful person.
"I'm not surprised by the allegations" is the high road?
What a classy lady! Her professionalism, integrity and honesty made Norah and Gayle look guilty when she mentioned that she was not surprised about the harrassment at NBC. I cannot believe that Norah and Gayle did not know about what was going on at NBC or CBS for that matter.
CT Lew COME ON GROW UP!!! They knew EVERYTHING!!! Ask Howard Stern!
CT Lew THEY WORKED WITH RAPIST ROSE FOR YEARS AND HE HATES DARK MEAT ... GAIL U R A WOMAN HATER!!
She always knew yet never spoke up. And now shes back and being invited to tell her story but no she doesn't want to hurt the predators delicate feelings. The tv business at the top is very small. She has her own show now. 1 + 1 = 2. This isn't being classy this is looking out for herself. So the predators can continue to amass new victims while she gets a nice position and a fat check.
She's referring to the victims who could still be victims today. Nevermind that there's still a notable contingent of people who don't really believe in sexual harassment or get the concept of consent or power dynamics and will look down on women who they don't believe got sexually harassed, possibly harassing them directly
#theyknew
Ann has so much class. She is intelligent, kind and gentle. Unfortunately, this type of personality is not easy to find.
Ann Curry is one of the classiest news journalists I've ever watched on television. I miss seeing her on morning television. It would be great if CBS This Morning gave her a role on their broadcast because I believe that Ann is a morning television legend. Just a suggestion CBS.
RestlessRick She has a new show on PBS
👍👍👍
one of the last real journalists in the mainstream media.
Restless Rick I think many people would love to see her back. Great karma for Lauer, too.
RestlessRick
Yes....Ann Curry, Lester Holt, and Anderson Cooper always exudes class....ALWAYS!
I often disagree with some aspects of this movement, but this lady communicated her points in a classy and honourable way. Props to her.👏👏👏
Give us your money lmao give me your money with an ea avatar ahahahah
Give us your money change your name to “releasing half built games” with 6 dlcs to finish it lol
What are you often disagreeing about
It’s called an NDA.
Guys she probably has a non disclosure agreement where she can’t say specific things so she needs to think about what she can say and not.
Both O'Donnell and Curry are former employees at NBC News. From September 2003 to May 2005, Norah was the White House correspondent.
If so, she could have just said she couldn't talk about it because of a non-disclosure agreement. That would have been a lot easier for her than all the stumbling and trying not to answer the questions.
Sassypatty18 that would probably bring negative attention to where people feel she’s not being allowed to speak
Sassypatty18 you’re not wrong but it’s too late to say that now
Nick Powell. You're so right.
Calm down, Gayle. Let Ann answer.
Gayle still upset with Seal calling out Oprah.... because #TheyKnew Gayle is on a internal guilt trip because her and Oprah were friends with Harvey Weinstein and other Hollywood Elites. #TheyKnew
Bee Be - You go girl #TheyKnew
SHE IS SO GUILTY!!
L Beatrice Batz acctionmovie
Nah, Im glad Gayle did this because though I love Ann, she knew these questions were gonna get raised. Gayle set a framework for her to voice her 'opinion' on all of this..if Gayle didnt do that, Ann would of just been too cautious to speak up, when every one of us wanted to hear what was on Ann's mind for so damn long
"Matt laurer has left his broadcast". This is the type of things that need to change. They should address the situation for what it is, he got fired for sexual harassment, he didn't just leave. Dont sugar coat and talk around the sexual harassment allegations.
I love Ann Curry and her work. I stopped watching the Today Show when she left.
D Epperson b
Sadly I kept on watching that show,until Ms.Tamron Hall left. Afterwards I was done and over watching the Today Show.
She's always lovely and elegant.
My goodness, Ann is so beautiful. Been so long since I have seen her on TV.
Roger Scott she really is great
+Roger Scott - She is a Regal woman - I wish her the very best.
Fahjah Fajitas I forgot it was illegal to wholesomely complement people.
I think she's beautiful
Roger Scott She's like fine wine. Gets better with time.
Ann Curry classy lady.
She is trying to not hurt her ex-coworkers and the NBC brand. Yet she is trying to explain how this verbal abuse is damaging to women and viewers. Classy, poised and forgiving. BRAVO!
I absolutely ❤ Ann Curry, and have loved her and her craft, the passion and the sincerity that she has always brought to the table! Great seeing her...and looking FABULOUS I must say!
It's obvious that there was some attitude from Gayle. She was being very pointed and there was subtle tones of doubt and disrespect.
Timothy Lund SHE IS SO GUILTY. A lie detector test would blow her up!!!
She has to ask tough questions it's not Barney and friends lol
Yeah she wants her to stop plugging herself and call out the predators. But nope. Ann probably got her new show from one of those predators. She won't sabotage her pay check.
Timothy Lund I think she was trying to get her to just say it. Admit Matt Lauer harassed her.
The only reason she supposedly has an attitude is because she's a black woman! The other woman had the same tone! Stop reaching! Shes trying to get the answers everyone wants to know! Black women alwayd have attitude when being direct and firm! Foh
I love Ann Curry!!!
I always preferred Ann Curry over Katie Couric
GrotesqueHyydra along with the rest of the human race.
Agree! Hate gum smiles!!!
i just like the tone of her voice over katie couric's. i find it relaxing.
Ann is amazing!
I find her to be a lady , so different than most. Why are these lady poking her. She's there to talk about her show isn't she. Well meet again????
Cheri Yarboro because part of the appeal they've cultivated at morning shows is to perpetuate gossip. That's why so many people enjoyed Ann Curry and were disappointed when she was fired - Ann was more journalistic in her speaking topics and less gossipy/focused less on mundane pop news gossip. She is a true journalist. Unlike Matt Lauer.
Exactly smh
I don't know her very well but she comes accross as very classy in the way she answers questions. She didn't fall into the trap of feeding drama for TV. They didn't even ask one question about her new show!
they did in the next hour, there is another video of that elsewhere.
Oh ok, I missed that, thanks for pointing it out!
Men like you are just applauding her because you like the thought of a woman not telling when she can. It is disgusting and nothing to be applauded.
Great to see you again Ann. Congratulations on your new show.
Ann Curry is a great journalist very tough and fair, shame on Matt Lauer!
I miss Ann Curry and her calming voice of reason. Love you Ann!
Ann Curry, women of grace and courage. I’ve not watched one Today Show since you were pushed out! Thank you for your humility in your response.
Ann Curry is such an elegant and kind woman. I have so much respect for the way she conducted herself during this obviously unexpected interview. You are a classy lady Mrs. Curry.
Why do they keep badgering her with all these questions about Matt Lauer?? If she doesn't want to answer anything, she doesn't have to! Leave her the f$!k alone. 😡
Thank you. More importantly, she has survived being let go and in such a public and unprofessional way by NBC. The lesson is her journey in terms of what she is doing now. DO any of us look back on the folks we used to work with at our previous job? She might never go back, but in the business, I would assume you don't burn your bridges, even if it is burning and swinging at the same time. She is class, and people seem not to be able to recognize and applaud it instead of wanting her to join the rag mags at the check out counter by telling what she knows about Matt.
declasse
OMG!!!! Ann!!!! So good to see you!!!!! Looking fabulous girl!!! Also, your hair is fierce!! Love ya girrrrl!!:)
That moment she crossed her arms @4:30 told me everything ! Yes he is the reason why she was let go. He had the nerve to sweet talk and tried to hug her . she wasnt feeling that ish !
I see it as the exact opposite
Wow Ann is 61. She looks phenomenal
Anne Curry- class at its best! Respect to her!
Greatest dignity and respect.
how has this interview not blown up yet. This is huge
Immerisfy Me Give it time...starting to spread already.😜
forever, I don't get what you're talking about. what does this have to do will Bill Murray?
Me TV, what? She's a citizen by blood and soil
It’s #8 trending now
Immerisfy Me Who cares about these media phonies? All of them knew it.
I LOVE her! I’ve missed her! The way she was treated was appalling. Katie too. So happy to see her.
lady with the bangs please chill out
She's being pretentious....ugh!
Golden Pearl right!? she keeps interrupting her
Golden Pearl she’s one of those so called BIT-ES!
Golden Pearl yes Gayle Ann shut you DOWN!!! The entire segment should’ve been about Ann’s new show, you idiots
Why anyone is disliking this baffles me to no end. This woman has done nothing but remained dignified through all the pain that she endured and she is just where I knew she would be. On the other side as courageous as ever. Being silent is not a badge of honor, it is a humiliation and a degradation that no woman or man should have to face. May every person come out of the darkness, tell there story and as Oprah said not have to say Me Too ever again.
Shoulda keep her.
Ann Curry: Role model.
I was very mad at Lauer for what happened to Ann. He had so much pull at NBC that he was absolutely part of the conversation about letting her go. I'm glad that she is going strong in journalism while he is hiding out on an island somewhere.
R Navs you say it like it's fact. How do you know he was involved?
TCt83067695 because he had a ton of pull at NBC. When you really look into who his friends are, you will understand.
R Navs again you have no solid proof. Even Ann Curry doesnt have solid proof.
Yet you say it with such certainty
@@TCt83067695well now with Laur fired due to sexual harassment, I think it is pretty clear what happened.
@@lawrencelim6890 are you now insinuating he also sexually harassed Ann too?
She's right. All women have probably gone through some sort of harassment during their lifetime, at least verbal.
Isn't every person gonna have thro this
Brian Villatoro i think he means sexual verbal harassment.
TheAmazingFirehawk
yes... I meant sexual, verbal, and nonverbal harassment. I think everyone goes through some of it, both male & female workers.
Yep. All women are victims and need unmeasurable retribution for something that might not even be true, while men, the ones who probably had to struggle to get where they are, should be tossed aside within days.
Rhiro Yonve
I didn't say only women are victims. I meant women go through harassment situations throughout their careers. Men are harassed as well, but this video focused on women.
Ann Curry needs her morning show ASAP
I love Ann. She is one of the most authentic persons in the broadcasting business. I’ve been boycotting NBC Today ever since her departure.
I miss watch Ann on 'Today'. But big ups on her for being a bigger person and a class act when it came to Matt Lauer questions that were thrown at her in this interview.
Ann Curry is such a classy well spoken person..I truly admire her.
Seems like she was put on the spot - did they jump this on her?
Back when Ann was at the show, she seemed like the only real journalist. Same holds true today.
Always a class act...
Wow speechless not only an intelligent women but very noble never seen her or now about her controversy, but I know she handled it with respect and even do the interview host may of tried to revive a plague she did the opposite, change the conversation to what is really important ,much love 😊
So true
Yes she is just beautiful
Hahaha did she really say akuna-matata..😂👍🏽
Misfit power it’s actually “hakuna matata”and it’s a much used Swahili phrase. People in Tanzania use it all the time and It means no worries, it’s all ok, let it go and be peaceful. That Disney movie made it ridiculous. But, it was actually cool and telling of her to use it. Anne’s cultured.
Even now, we still aren't being open about this topic. You heard it directly from Ann, she isn't going to talk about it. JUST SAY IT! Why protect the abusers?
"Abusers"!!! "Bad guys"!!!! "They wear all black"!!!!
Life is nit as simplistic as you try to make it out to be. She realize that it hurts to make others hurt, aparently you havent learned this yes.
You will.
I wouldn't hide the truth to protect someones feelings.
my guess? She's under her own NDA and really can't say much, presumably enough to be worth it for her to stay cagey and not bad mouth her former bosses. She's still old-school and it's hard to admit publicly what happened to you when you've been told most of your life that women are 2nd class and yet starting in the 70s, women were held to a higher standard of proof the louder we got. I wish she would at least call out the NBC management that allowed Matt Lauer to stay when there was proof of his $hitholery long before the Ann Currie was even there.
agree 100%. People cannot see what is right in front of them. All a dog and pony show.
She may also be protecting her ownself with not naming everything she knows. It might be a clause in her current contract of her new show. Plus if she wants to return to NBC, she cant really get on tv and name all of the people connected to the scandall, she did it the polite way.
I love Ann Curry - she has so much class about her. She is an honest hard working woman who actually feels for her people and she really is such a sweet soul. It shines through her eyes and through her talk. Glad to see she is back :)
The last laugh is always the best. Love Ann Curry!!
Are those dislikes from nbc? LOL
i usually don't but I'm having an issue with Gale....what is wrong with her.
(thinks to self: "I'M GETTING THE SCOOP ON NATIONAL TV ABOUT MATT FROM ANN HERSELF!!!!"
She comes on the program and then doesn’t want to talk about what is the elephant in the room. You can’t have it both ways.
Ann Curry, was always my favorite in the morning, stopped watching TV in the morning when she left. Class Act, glad she's back, looking forward to the New Show.
Gayle needs to back off
Sun Flower... Gale is an important part of how much all the white folks missed oportunity to get to the truth. Cheers to her, tough job if you can get it.
Ann Curry is still human, something that you have been victimized by isn't gonna leave you speaking politically correct 🙄
What a respectable Lady..... She is just so genuine.....
Ann was so far beyond the intellectual stratosphere of the journalistic quality of nbc. Such grace and compassion would do us all well. ❤️❤️
“I’m trying to do HARM in these conversations.” Where is the “no”?
She oriental cut her some slack i salute her she doesnt have to be greedy like the people who want to see them fall
she was born in the US. she's only half Japanese...
"freudian slip," although in fairness to her I think she did try to enunciate a "no," but I think half-asians have a hard time pronouncing N's. no wait, that's L. never mind then. Freudian slip.
Turning up the volume and listening again will enable you to hear her very soft 'no'. She did say it!
why does this video have so many thumbs down?
Anne Curry looked like she was under extreme pressure in this interview. See, this is what that kind of harassment subjects people to. She showed a lot of courage here.
Ann Curry is the epitome of class and dignity. What was done to her personally and professionally was unconscionable. Yes, the changes are overdue! I look forward to her new show.
Gayle....cut your bangs.
Elizabeth Quinn or buy a new wig
Cut your tongue 👅 too you lying POS!
I though the same thing! It looks like she’s gone a few weeks past her hair cutting appointment.
Blue Skies stop hating.
Love Ann Curry! So glad to see her come out on top! #whatgoesaroundcomesaround #karma
It is so easy to see why so many people (including me) love Ann Curry. She fills the space she occupies with so much light. Welcome back!
Ann you're amazing. Love to watch you speak. So glad you bounced back so great and created your important new show. You're an inspiration in a lot of ways.
She is still so attractive (I can't believe she's 61). Matt Lauer probably felt the same way. His ex-wife is also mixed (Dutch/Indonesian). Notice how Ann Curry couldn't even look at him when she left 'Today'...
61???? She looks like 39
995 views? Sure let's put that on trending...
Jacckeyy $$$$$
There's a delay in view updates when there are spikes. Also, trending is more than just views - it's also based off of google analytics in general. That is - if it's being tracked as relevant. This can easily happen if it's newsworthy/being linked to a lot in articles/blogs/etc
Jacckeyy Yea, why not?
Jacckeyy
its not just this one video, its the general topic & the person of the topic dumb dumb 🙄
Ann is gorgeous. And she has such a beautiful voice. She is so smart, strong, yet vulnerable. She also seems very real, she doesn't speak with affected manner, like many TV people do.
Much respect to Ann Curry! She was asked very tough, controversial questions and she answered them the best professional way possible! Class act indeed
I have no idea who she is but she sounds smart and well spoken
GOOD FOR HER :0) KARMA GOT MATT, AND I HOPE IT STINGS!
I wish Ann Curry all of the best!!!☺😊😎😍
I have dearly,dearly loved this gracious woman for decades. I was outraged and heartbroken for her watching her exit. This woman should be the first woman to President of the United States. She has the perfect balance and poise to represent our nation and could conceivably unite this nation with that very quality you in her interview. "Where can I find a woman like that????"
Yet another intelligent and promising woman who must suffer because of a powerful mans sexual indiscretions.
I'm pretty sure Matt's suffering more now, Claire.
Claire Knight Considering how much men suffer even when they are innocent, I feel like you don't understand what is going on in the world. All it is to you is "all men" this and "all men" that.
*man's
Also, no.
Kromion *Also, no
SAY IT, ANNE! JUST SPIT IT OUT!
Ann, always a class act. NBC should have apologized and made her an incredible deal to come back.
I love Ann Curry. Someone with integrity and class.
Gail needs to back off...
Why so many dislikes?!
The thumbs downs are probably for Gayle King.
Oprah's friend is very patronizing and ostentatious!
Must be from Matt's dwindling fanbase...
Matt's at home with a lot of time on his hands these days probably. Lol
Possible reasons for so many dislikes: Classy, smart, passionate and challenging women often provoke jealousy from other women and insecure although powerful men who feel threatened by them...
What a classy woman. She's in a position to trash talk matt lauer and NBC but instead she answers without bashing! That is how a real Lady acts.
Ann is just the most lovely person. I'm soooo so happy to see her back with her new show, can't wait to watch it!
She well never say something bad against him ☯️☮️🕉
Why is this trending?
This may sound strange but I am a man and I to have been sexually harassed by a woman in the workforce who was my boss and it was very uncomfortable for me. After a while she left me alone but the work relationship was not very good after not making a move on her. I decided to leave that job.
Ann s AMAZING!! perfect example of grace, dignity and wisdom! no matter how hard they tried to get her to trash talk, she rose way above.
12k views yet this is on trending?
Anyone else think Ann's auditioning for a seat at the table?
The table is set.
+Justin Hill - She has moved on.
Nah this is Ann Curry. She's better than everyone at that table. If she wanted that job, she'd have it.
No. I think she is happy with her own show. She doesn’t have to put up with the BS.
Justin Hill
no she's over morning news
Goodness! That's the word that comes to mind when I listen to her speak. She seems to be such a good person at heart that she refuses to trash the people who mistreated her. In the current climate of seeking revenge, and hitting them back harder, it refreshing to see a public figure who is genuinely above that.
Ann Curry is like the sister you always wished you had...
I have the utmost respect & admiration for her excellent work & professionalism...I'm really looking forward to watching "We'll Meet Again" as you just know it's going to be so honest & heartfelt...I really miss seeing her on a regular basis...
There's Oprah's dingleberry
James W. Smith TRUTH I LOVE IT
James W. Smith Hum!!
Problem officer?
Clear Projection
I've never seen any of these issues at the companies I've worked for...
A Dream you must either have worked at some amazing companies or you’re as blind as a bat. it happens all the time!
BS! People will do the snack machine if allowed!
I think you just want it to happen all the time. It makes for an argument (albeit a poor one) on your side of the circle.
Congratulations for you. I haven't met any starving people but starvation is still a pervasive problem that exists.
Newt0rz It's not a problem. It's just a reality. When children are born with little or no resources and w/o parents, they can't fend for themselves. Human beings keep on procreating and bringing these children into the world without being able to back them up. The problem as you put it is life.
Classy, smart and talented. Glad Ann's back!
Ann Curry is MORE than a class act. There are words to describe how awesome she is. Hope we’re blessed to view her journalistic talents for many years to come.
