NEW YORK - Meredith Vieira said Monday she will leave NBC's Today show in June and will be replaced by the show's news anchor Ann Curry.
Vieira has been co-host of NBC television's staple morning talk show since 2006 and said during Monday's broadcast that she is leaving to spend more time with her children and husband Richard Cohen, who has multiple sclerosis and colon cancer.
"I can't be here every day," she said while fighting back tears. "I really hope to stay with the NBC family. That is my goal."
Neither Vieira nor NBC have announced what role she will take with the network once she steps down from Today. Vieira, 57, joined the show in 2006 after co-hosting The View, an all female talk show, on ABC for 9 years.
Curry has been a news anchor on the morning show since 1997 and will share a leading role on the show with longtime co-host Matt Lauer.
