====== Ann Curry's voice chokes when she talks about saying goodbye this morning on NBC'sToday show, years earlier than she had hoped. "In journalism school, you never take a class on what to do when you're the focus of the story," Ann Curry says of recent buzz surrounding her 'Today' show departure. It's "going to be a bit of a tough day," she told USA TODAY in a 40-minute phone interview Wednesday, sounding as though she were fighting back tears. "I'm going to have to tell our viewers. That's what makes me more emotional than anything. I don't want to leave them. I love them. And I will really miss them." ====== Have always had a soft spot for Ann... going way back to when she did NBC News at Sunrise with Joe Witte (who is still on the air here in DC). The chief global correspondent gig might be a better fit. Savannah Guthrie is said to be the replacement. Succession plan not discussed in the USA Today story; I'd suspect that was part of the deal in giving the interview.
