After Ann Curry was unceremoniously canned from co-hosting TODAY, the veteran journalist was told by NBC executives that she would be going to London to cover the Olympics, but after the first week of competition, she hasn't done any reporting, and there are rumblings that she is purposefully being kept off the air, Breaking Celebrity News is exclusively reporting.
"Ann was supposed to be in London contributing reports, but it appears that she won't be a part of any of the Olympics coverage. Ann has hardly been on the air at all since the Aurora Colorado shooting tragedy," a show insider tells Breaking Celebrity News exclusively. "Ann was credentialed by the International Olympic Committee to cover the games, but she hasn't been working on anything on air so far. There are rumblings that Ann is purposefully being kept off the air during the Olympics so that viewers can become more familiar with Savannah Guthrie in her new role as co-anchor alongside Matt Lauer."
