Meredith Vieira


Meredith Vieira will leave the "Today" show in June and be replaced by Ann Curry, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Natalie Morales will reportedly take Curry's place as the show's newsreader. The move will shake up NBC News' most lucrative show, which has been the top rated morning program for over 800 weeks. There have also been rumors that Matt Lauer is considering leaving when his contract is up in 2012, though it is seen to be unlikely.

Matt Lauer Leaving Today


First Meredith Vieira, now Matt Lauer. Reports are surfacing that the longtime anchor will soon leave NBC's 'Today.'

According to 'Entertainment Tonight,' Lauer will leave the top-rated daytime show when his contract is up. However, don't panic just yet -- Lauer's under contract until Dec. 31, 2012.

NBC issued the following statement to the New York Post regarding the possible departure of both of 'Today''s anchors: "There seems to be an awful lot of speculation around news anchors these days, and it's not our practice to comment on any of it. Matt Lauer has a long-term contract with NBC News and 'Today.'"

Lauer has spent 13 years in the co-anchor seat, but he's been with 'Today' since 1994.
