The Today Show

From 1976 to 1989, she was the co-host of The Today Show. While not the first female anchor of the show, she became a symbol for professional women, more specifically female journalists, in the 1980s. She shared anchor duties with Tom Brokaw and later, Bryant Gumbel. NBC briefly experimented with a trio of anchors, Pauley, Gumbel, and Chris Wallace, before returning to a co-anchor format with Gumbel and with Pauley serving in a deferential co-host capacity.

In 1989, following months of speculation on Pauley's dislike of the grueling morning assignment, she announced her resignation from Today in favor of younger NBC newscaster Deborah Norville, who had begun to play a larger role in the two hour morning program. Pauley seemed to encourage speculation that led to accusations of ageism from Pauley supporters, who felt it unfair that that the 39-year-old was being sidelined for the younger Norville, rather than the fact that Pauley was leaving voluntarily.

Personal

Pauley is known for revealing very little, if anything at all, on her private life, which made the disclosure of her bipolar disorder all the more unusual. The timing of her announcement—which coincided with the release of her autobiography Skywriting: A Life Out of the Blue (2004) and the launch of her daytime talk show—was viewed by some as a publicity ploy, though no one questioned the truthfulness of her announcement. 2004 (MMIV) was a leap year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
