Whoops! Ann Curry Tosses To Katie Couric On "Today"

Ann Curry is admittedly having a tough morning, returning to the "Today" show for the first time since her father died last Sunday. But she appears to have returned to 2006, slipping up and tossing back to Katie Couric (who left the "Today" show in May 2006).

Discussing Danica Patrick, Curry said,, "She said, actually, later on, Matt and Katie and, er, Matt and Al, er, Meredith and Al. Sorry, that was a mistake, I'm not quite myself this morning." Meredith, for her part, was not offended and told Ann, "That's ok."

This is a very, very old story... why is it still here??
HuffPo interns too busy? These pages need more frequent updating to remain relevant.
Every story has a two day shelf life at most unless some new, repeat, new development warrants additional attention.
If you need additional editors, I'm available.

Even if she had not lost her dad, she would be entitled to a mistake! Geez, who are these critical but less than perfect people posting here??

[scottish2]

I agree. It's sad that so many can find negative things to say yet can't post anything positive. I for one appriciate those posting here that have said NICE things and condolences for Ann.

Ann Curry may not be god's gift to scholarship, but she is more than smart enough and well qualified for her job. She does it very well, and as a bonus, she is very hot!

[fishsandwichesr2good]

Ann has proven over and over again that she's as dumb as a stump. In other words, she's perfect for that job.

[pithymaxim]

So wrong...Ann Curry should take over for Couric on the CBS Evening News. She has an air of gravitas. I'd watch.

[fishsandwichesr2good]

You're kidding, right? I agree that Ann has an "air" about her, but unfortunately it's between her ears. Have you seen any of her one-on-one, (literally) touchy/feely interviews? She's like a dim witted combination of Barbara Walters, Sally Jesse What's Her Name, and my great grandmother (God bless her soul) when she's overstimulated after a couple glasses of wine.

[scottish2]

Anyone with half a brain cell or more knows Ann is very intelligent. Let us know when you get that half a brain cell. Suggest you stop smoking that weed and killing your chances of getting there.

[fishsandwichesr2good]

I'd borrow one of those cells from you, but you apparently have none to spare. Please illustrate for me a single time that Ann has done or uttered anything of any significance. She's a talking head (and a lousy one at that), nothing more, nothing less.

I am glad the mistakes I make at work are not able to be seen by the world. Ann Curry is one person on network TV that is worthy of her paycheck.

Ann is one classy lady. I know how terrible it is to lose a beloved parent. I wish her well.

[AnnieinOR]

I agree, and so what - it's a slip of the tongue - she just lost her dad... there is way too much made over stupid things - why not about the dying in Iraq

[savorysalt]

Now we're doing "got'cha's" on Ann Curry?

This is news?

She just suffered a loss. it's amazing she's back for God's sake!

[mfsomom]

My condolences to you Ann. How hard it is to lose a parent. And I'm sure Katie remains a good friend of yours, and it is natural you would have her name on the tip of your tongue during this difficult time. My heart is with you!

I am a right wing, lunitic fringe, neo-con, hate mongering troll and even i like ann curry.

[fishsandwichesr2good]

You forgot to menshun what a gud spelller you are.

[evekendall]

Good grief. I get my own children's names mixed up several times a week, and I haven't even lost a parent. Have some class, Huffpo. . .the woman just lost her father, for Pete's sake. This is NOT a story, and you waste your readers' time with this inane drivel.

This is kind of a "dog bites man" story, in my opinion.

I mean, I toss to Katie Couric too. I even considered converting my living room into a vomitorium, but it was cheaper to just change the channel.

[mero909]

It happens.

[halyscomet]

Honest mistake.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Ann.

[ultramagnetic]

My Dad will have been dead a year this May 16th, and I'm not over it yet.

[Denni]

Sorry to learn of Ann's father's death. Godspeed Ms. Curry.

[GoCards1978]

Cut her some slack, already. I'm still working through my dad's death 7 1/2 years hence.
