Ann Curry - Frosty Scenes As Ann Curry And Matt Lauer Reunite On 'Today'

The Olympics, however, started on July 28 and it wasn't until yesterday that Curry actually appeared on the show in the capacity of an Olympics reporter. The move by Today has prompted many media outlets to speculate that her coverage had been scaled back, so that they could focus on her replacement, Savannah Guthrie. Her eventual return was not without tension, as a brief exchange between Curry and Lauer was just that: brief. Matt Lauer seemed to be trying to keep the mood light, saying "nice to see you," enthusiastically. Curry's reply was less effusive, as she simply said "Good morning, Matt," before launching straight into Olympics business, with a profile of the Olympic photographer Adam Pretty.

Lauer tried once more to get a conversation flowing, by saying "You're pretty good with the camera. Did you pick up anything?" Curry's reply came back, curtly: "No." Though she eventually elaborated "Well, I didn't take any pictures, but I learned some lessons from him." Looks as though it may take a little longer for that particular frost to thaw, then?
