Ann Curry will be paid millions to walk away from the Today show, said TMZ.com. The anchor, 55, was ousted from the morning show by NBC last week over declining ratings. But her contract guarantees her $10 million per year over the next two years. Sources say Curry and the network are working on a settlement that would pay her at least $10 million and move her into a role as a foreign correspondent for NBC.
