The Resume

(November 19, 1956- )
News anchor on the 'Today Show' (1997-2011) and co-host (2011-2012)
'Dateline NBC' correspondent
Anchor of 'NBC News at Sunrise' (1991-1996)
Worked at KCBS-TV Los Angeles, KGW-TV Portland, Oregon and KTVL-TV Medford, Oregon

Why she might be annoying:

She initially worked in the shadow of Katie Couric.
She is considered to be a bad interviewer, because she gets emotionally involved.
She announced she was leaving the 'Today Show' just one year after taking over as co-host, possibly because 'Today's' ratings fell behind 'Good Morning America's' for the first time in years (June 28, 2012).

Why she might not be annoying:

Her mother is Japanese and her father is of French, Scotch-Irish, and Amerindian descent.
She was the first female news anchor on the 'Today Show.'
Her sister Jean suffers with breast cancer, so she became an active supporter in the fight against breast cancer.
She is ranked in People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in the World (1998).
