Ann Curry Will ‘Harness the Power’ of Live TV for the First Time Since Leaving the Today Show

She’ll help solve medical mysteries as anchor of Chasing the Cure

It’s been seven years since Ann Curry last regularly appeared on live television, when she exited as co-anchor of the Today show, where she had worked since 1997. Now Curry is returning to live TV with Chasing the Cure, a 90-minute series debuting tonight on TNT and TBS that will use a combination of crowdsourcing and top doctors to help people suffering from various undiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical mysteries.

Curry—who anchors and executive produces the multiplatform series—spoke with Adweek about returning to the “tremendous power” of live TV, why she couldn’t say no to Chasing the Cure and her thoughts about getting left out of Today’s recent 25th anniversary celebration video.
