Report: Ann Curry Humiliated At NBC

Ann Curry
NBC was not a fun place for Ann Curry to be in the time before her exit from the Today show in June of 2012.

A new book by Brian Stetler entitled Top of the Morning: Inside the Cutthroat World of Morning TV exposes the humiliation that Ann suffered at the hands of her co-workers in her final months as anchor.

According to an excerpt published in the New York Times magazine, one employee told Stetler about a day when Ann wore a bright yellow dress which prompted the control room staff to post a picture of her to hold a "Who Wore It Best?" comparison with Big Bird. Even the show's executive producer Jim Bell reportedly got in on the jokes by commissioning a blooper reel of Ann's worst on-air mistakes.

Curry, Lauer in 'happier' times
The author also claims that Curry has told her friends that her final months at Today were a form of professional torture.
