She became the show’s second-longest serving news anchor, behind Frank Blair , who served in that capacity from 1953 to 1975. During this time, she also worked as a substitute anchor for Today. Curry was named co-anchor of Dateline NBC with Stone Phillips in May 2005.

She remained as the primary anchor when Phillips left in June 2007, until she replaced Meredith Vieira on Today in 2011. From 2005 to 2011 she was the primary substitute on NBC Nightly News. Curry has reported on major international stories, filing stories from places such as Baghdad, Sri Lanka, Congo, Rwanda, Albania, and Darfur.

Curry hosted NBC’s primetime coverage and highlights of the Live Earth concerts on July 7, 2007, and also contributed with interviews for the special with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Vice President Al Gore. Curry reported from the USS Theodore Roosevelt during the invasion of Afghanistan in November 2001, and had an exclusive interview with General Tommy Franks.

She was also the first network news anchor to report from inside the Southeast Asian tsunami zone in late 2004. On December 17, 2007, Curry bungee-jumped off the Transporter Bridge in Middlesbrough, England, to raise money for charity.

“Justine had an experience where she fell off of a mountain while hiking and was rescued,” Curry tells CountryLiving.com. “Years later, she went back to say hello to her rescuers and they reacted with such emotion, that she realized there was just something about reunions and being able to tie a bow on these deep moments in your life.”
