Following yesterday’s news that Katie Couric might return to daytime TV, there are now rumors circulating that Meredith Vieira (who took Couric’s spot beside co-host Matt Lauer in 2006) is expected to leave NBC's “Today” when her contract expires later this year.
Two anonymous sources told TV Guide that Vieira, 57, is ready to move on and that the early morning hours and the health of her husband (who has struggled with multiple sclerosis and cancer) are other deciding factors.
Reportedly, NBC is doing everything they can to convince Vieira to stay. Insiders at NBC News have also said that if she does decide to leave, her position will most likely be filled by news anchor Ann Curry.
Readers, do you watch the "Today" show? If so, what are your thoughts about Vieira's possible departure?
