She went on extended leave from the network when her husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger, successfully ran for the Golden State's governorship in 2003. She made two
appearances anchoring "Dateline NBC" after his victory but announced the following year she would leave NBC News because she was unable to juggle her various duties.
Her remarks came this week during the annual California Governor and First Lady's Conference on Women. The governor, preoccupied by the wildfires burning up the southern part of the state, made only a brief appearance via satellite.
