Ann Curry Replaces Today Show's Meredith Vieira

Meredith Vieira announced that she’ll leave NBC’s Today Show in June after a five-year run.

“This is a difficult day for me,” said the 57-year-old morning talk show host on Monday (May 9). “I’m trying hard to hold it together.”

Five years ago, Meredith replaced Katie Couric. In just a few weeks, Today Show news anchor Ann Curry will replace Meredith as host.

Last month, Katie left the CBS Early Morning News. She reportedly will host a syndicated daytime talk show. Matt‘s contract with Today is up at the end of 2012.
