When Ann Curry unexpectedly left “Today” in 2012, Katie Couric expressed sympathy toward her former co-worker. In a Spreecast interview (via The Hollywood Reporter), Couric said, “It really broke my heart this morning to see Ann, because I know she’s suffering and is feeling a lot of pain with this transition, and I know that it’s really hard for everyone on the show.” Couric also commended Curry’s journalism, saying, “I do think Ann is a great reporter and loves covering those important international stories, as she said this morning, what’s going on in Syria and the face of the new poor in this country.” She noted that Curry excels in hard news, adding, “And I think she cares deeply about those issues, and I think that she’ll do a great job in that venue.”
So, what’s the current status of Couric and Curry’s relationship? In a 2020 appearance on the podcast “Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino,” Pellegrino asked Couric if she maintained contact with Curry. Couric replied, “I haven’t seen her. Once in a while I run into her at things. I think she’s working on a PBS show or something.” And though Couric admitted that the two weren’t besties, she still had high hopes for her. Couric continued, “I always liked Ann, but we weren’t really very close friends. I haven’t kept up with her, but I hope she’s doing well, too. I really do.”
