Ann Curry Lands At the South Pole NBC New Team

allday.msnbc.msn.com — At 6:56 a.m. ET, just four minutes before we went on the air, TODAY producer Matt Carluccio called the control room to let us know that Ann and the crew had successfully landed at the South Pole. Moments after we went on the air, Ann spoke to Matt, Meredith and Al on the phone, getting a standing ovation from the studio.

  • ironicsans, on 11/13/2007, -3/+27Anne Curry took a ride on an airplane. Am I missing something, or is this not news?
  • coit, on 11/13/2007, -3/+21But what about all the carbon given off by all those attempts to get to the north pole. I thought NBC was going green???
  • wishninja, on 11/09/2007, -1/+13I do not understand what achievement? Could someone explain how getting in a plane and having someone fly you around is anything like an achievement. Now if she swam from Florida or hiked in or even if she flew the plane herself.
  • PhoneGuy, on 11/13/2007, -1/+11Tom Tucker: "And now we cut to Ollie with the weather ... Ollie?"

    Ollie: "It's cold!"

    Tom: "Thanks for that Ollie."

  • AriaStar, on 11/09/2007, -0/+8She achieved sitting on her ass? I don't know where the achievement is either. People do that all the time, and at any given time there are thousands of people in the air for longer stretches of time.

    A rare bury for unspeakable lameness.
  • inactive, on 11/09/2007, -0/+7Buried, because I do not, nor should anyone else, care about this.
  • jackmaninov, on 11/09/2007, -1/+8Reporter most people will have never heard of goes to south pole? How is this a story? Buried.
  • SELLONQ, on 11/13/2007, -5/+11Update: Al Gore spotted chipping a shot off the 9th 'berg.
  • zerobyproxy, on 11/09/2007, -1/+6SPAM DIG. No one cares.
  • Celeron, on 11/09/2007, -0/+5And we care why?
  • SlvrEagle23, on 11/09/2007, -0/+5"...It sounds like she and the crew were a little queasy when they arrived, which stands to reason -- in about a three-hour span, they went from sea level to an altitude of more than 9,300 feet. That'll mess with your body..."

    Didn't she perform roughly the equivalent of a flight from LA to Denver? Man, life sure is tough for Ann Curry ;)
  • infra172, on 11/09/2007, -1/+5Maybe next year NBC can bring awareness to environmental issues by exploding a nuclear bomb or clubbing some seals in Time Square.
  • bshensky, on 11/13/2007, -1/+4*****. I thought they were clapping because Ann *Coulter* had made it to the South Pole. Permanently.
  • ben4prezadent, on 11/13/2007, -1/+4so what's so exciting she made it to Antarctica....so i guess the war in Iraq doesn't mean much and the same for the dropping of the American dollar

    i would rather hear about how Dave Chappelle did a stand up last week in a basement.
  • TheOther1, on 11/09/2007, -1/+4It was the South Pole. Ann has already met Santa.
  • TheOther1, on 11/09/2007, -1/+3And Al Roker spotted making shaved ice treats from icebergs.
  • bossm4n, on 11/13/2007, -3/+5Now kick Meredith Viera out the door and give the job to Anne, then maybe I'll give a damn about the Today Show.
  • digitalghost1, on 11/13/2007, -2/+4Love the Comments Section, especially this comment:
    "I just wanted to comment on the post about Ann trying to get to the Pole. It was written "One flight had been so rough that every person aboard got airsick, she said". This is a gross exaggeration. The actual number was closer to 50% (18 of 39). The reason I mention this is because myself and a co-worker were on that flight. HOW does a newsteam w/ TODAY'S reputation get a fact like that SO evidently wrong? Makes me wonder about the rest of the factuality of what you are reporting.

    Good day,
    Aeon Jones, McMurdo Station, Antarctica"
  • av4rice, on 11/09/2007, -2/+3It's not news, it's "New"

  • ChristianBk, on 11/13/2007, -9/+5Not going to lie - I have a little bit of a crush on Ann Curry. She's awesome :)
  • meanwhilepress, on 11/13/2007, -11/+3Shackelton is on his way.
