Ann Curry was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night promoting her new show We’ll Meet Again, which premieres tonight on PBS.
But much of the conversation was about Curry’s past in TV news, from being the first female reporter in a “cigar smoke-filled” newsroom in Oregon, to her sudden 2012 departure from the Today show, and what role Matt Lauer played in it.
“Oh wait. Do you have a non-disclosure agreement?,” Colbert asked, after posing a question about Lauer. “I do. But I can talk. I’m bold,” said Curry.
“What are the words you can’t say? Whisper them in my ear,” Colbert said. WATCH:
