Brown on The Today Show
Campbell Brown (born 1967, in Ferriday, Louisiana) is co-anchor of Weekend Today. She became co-anchor in 2003. She was born to former Louisiana State Insurance Commissioner Jim Brown and Dale Campbell Fairbanks. Before Weekend Today, she was a White House correspondent for NBC News from 2001-2003.

Brown graduated from Regis University in Denver, Colorado with a B.A. in Political Science. After graduation, she spent a year teaching English in the former Czechoslovakia.

She began her career in local news reporting for KSNT-TV, the NBC affiliate in Topeka, Kansas, and then for WWBT-TV, the NBC affiliate in Richmond, Virginia, and also reported for WBAL-TV in Baltimore, Maryland, and WRC-TV in Washington, D.C. Brown joined NBC National News in 1996; her first story was Bill Clinton's impeachment trial. She was later assigned to The Pentagon and covered the war in Kosovo.

During the Presidential campaign, she covered George W. Bush as well as the Republican National Convention and Republican primary.

Since April 2, 2006, she has been married to Dan Senor, a consultant who regularly appears on Fox News.

She is a frequent fill-in for Brian Williams on the NBC Nightly News. In March 2006, she was named as one of five women who might replace Katie Couric when she leaves The Today Show, but the vacancy was filled by Meredith Vieira. It is highly speculated that Brown will depart NBC News altogether when her contract expires in 2007 and possibly move to CNN or Fox News where her husband works as a consultant in wake of not receiving the 'Today' hosting duties. She is also listed as a possible replacement for Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America if Diane were to leave the program[link].
