Having worked with NBC for the best 13 years of her life, Jane's Today program is what represents her works best. The show deals with current affairs of national and international interest and covers a wide range of news from politics, weather, sports, entertainment, and various other areas.

She joined the show in 1976 and worked for 13 years till 1989; and shared the screen with two different co-anchors during that time; Bryant Gumbel and Tom Brokaw. After she had resigned from the show, her place was taken by a  Deborah Norville and Pauley started to host her own show Real Life with Jane Pauley.

Sexual Harassment At NBC

Since she has become the role model for many young generations, she has achieved more fame and success in the journalism which many are not blessed with.

But her charming success did not come with ease. She was just aged 25 when she began co-hosting NBC's Today program as a replacement of legendary journalist, Barbara Walters alongside with co-host Tom Brokaw.

While gaining her place in the man-dominated professional that time, she confessed in 2016 that she was sexually harassed during her time in NBC. While her former co-host Tom Brokaw was also confronted by another journalist for sexually harassing, she revealed it was not the culture of the channel.
