Among the topics Kur focused on during his time at NBC News were science, health, family, and trends which often appeared as reports on NBC Nightly News. He served as a fill-in host for several NBC News shows including NBC Nightly News and NBC News at Sunrise. In 1996 he became the weekend anchor on NBC's Today Show.

In the mid-1990s, Kur gained attention for his coverage of the lawsuits against the tobacco industries. He later became an anchor for MSNBC and was later the White House correspondent.
