Meredith Vieira


Tired of waking up at 2:30 a.m. to tape the NBC morning show, Vieira decided she wanted to spend more time with her husband, whose health has been good recently, and her children, Ben, 22, a recent Stanford graduate, Gabe, 19, and Lily, 18, who is about to leave for college.

"We don't know from day to day what might happen," she says. "So why not enjoy life now? It's very precious, and anyone living with any kind of illness knows that. Health is fleeting, and you need to celebrate it while you still have it."Meredith Louise Vieira (born December 30, 1953) is an American journalist, television personality, and game show host. She currently co-hosts NBC's Today and often contributes to Dateline NBC. She is the current host for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire in syndication, replacing Regis Philbin in 2002. She previously co-hosted ABC's daytime talk show The View (from 1997 to 2006). She also hosted Intimate Portrait, a series on Lifetime Television. On May 9, 2011, Vieira announced she will leave the Today show in June 2011.

"It was being distorted, because it looked better to make it, 'Poor Meredith, she triumphs through it all,' but that wasn't the case," says Vieira, 57. Her husband, 67, would agree.

His reaction to the rumor? "Richard said, 'What is this? You never tend to me! You won't even get me a cup of coffee!' " jokes Vieira. "I said, 'I know! This scam is working!' But enough gets to be enough."
Still, her family did play a major role in her decision.

 The Today Show” was the show first aired on 14th January 1952 and become one of the most famous talk shows among the other talk shows and morning shows in the United States of America. Katie Couric and Matt Lauer were the two anchors of the show “The Today Show” from 1997 to 2006.

In 2006, Katie Couric left the show and joined “Evening News” of CBS. The CBS offered more attractive package to Couric and she moved to the channel.
