Text from bottom of article

[edit]

I removed this text from the bottom of the article to be merged in with the article.

Upon her departure from "Today" at the end of 1989, Pauley remained with NBC News serving as deputy anchor of "NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw" and as the host of her own prime time series originally titled "Changes" and later renamed "Real Life with Jane Pauley". Though Pauley was well-liked by viewers and her departure from "Today" was often cited as the reason for that program's sharp decline in viewers during the 1990's, Pauley's prime time show was a ratings flop. Following the cancellation of "Real Life..." Pauley was paired with Stone Phillips on "Dateline" which has proven to be the network's only enduring prime time news magazine offering to date.

Her departure from "Dateline" in 2003 came during a period of decline for the program which at one point appeared four nights per week on NBC, but had more recently been reduced to a twice weekly schedule. A year prior to her departure, Pauley had taken a several-months-long leave of absence from the program for undisclosed medical reasons. After returning to Dateline and then leaving permanently in 2003, she published her autobiography "Skywriting: A Life Out of the Blue" in which she disclosed her battle with bipolar disorder. After a long period without a replacement, NBC News named "Today" news reader Ann Curry as Pauley's replacement on Dateline in 2005.

In 2004 Pauley launched her own daily talk show program "The Jane Pauley Show" which debuted to poor ratings and was cancelled after one season. She has made no announcement about what, if any, future television plans she has.

Though she has enjoyed a lengthy and successful career in television news, she is more well known for her warmth, pleasant personality, and her on camera chemistry with powerful male anchors including Tom Brokaw and later Bryant Gumbel during her "Today" tenure than for aggressive investigative journalism or tough interviewing.

Deleted This Sentence.

[edit]

From the section on Pauley leaving the Today Show:

"Later on she starred in a porn video that was released with most dimay."

I googled this and didn't find any information about it. Wishful thinking on someone's part? Even if it turns out to be true, the sentence should be rewritten. In context it wasn't clear whether the author intended this sentence to be about Norville or Pauley. Plus, dismay has an "s" in it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.122.21.213 (talk) 23:47, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't doubt it if Jane, and Deborah N. both were in porn movies! It wouldn't surprise me one bit! They're both hookrrs/Orphans! ! Regina Silver (talk) 16:12, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No citations?

Why are there no citations in this article? --Abebenjoe (talk) 04:55, 8 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are some now and yet there seems to be a ridiculous number of "citation needed" links on the page. Steve Marethyu (talk) 20:52, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
