Ann Curry confirmed she is leaving her one year gig as co-host of NBC's TODAY show.
She told USA Today:
"It's going to be a bit of a tough day."
The 55-year-old journalist joined TODAY back in 1997 as a news anchor. She replaced Meredith Vieira in June 2011, working alongside Matt Lauer.
Shortly after, ratings began to drop.
Ann continued:
"I'm going to have to tell our viewers. That's what makes me more emotional than anything. I don't want to leave them. I love them. And I will really miss them."
In regards to her not-so-rave reviews, she added:
"You know, Matt and I have had great on-air chemistry for 14 years, been part of the No. 1 winning team for a history-making number of years. That said, I just finished my freshman year as co-host. In every single co-host's first year, there have been kinks to be worked out, and perhaps I deserve as much blame for that as anyone."
