Katie Couric Leaving CBS News


After five years of being in third place in the ratings, Katie Couric is leaving the anchor chair at CBS News. Apparently she is going to try the syndicated host route instead of the evening news. I remember when she got the job it was a very big deal. People loved watching her at first when she came over from Today, but that honeymoon did not last very long. It has been a struggle for her to find an audience and despite trying gimmicks and other stuff, nothing ever seemed to work. I personally think it is because Today is much more lighthearted than an evening news program which seems to deal with death and destruction for every broadcast and the combination just did not work. I agree with Letterman though who said that once you get in that chair you need to ride it on to the sunset. It is the ultimate news job that every fledgling reporter wants when they start out their careers doing pet fashion shows in San Diego, which I think translates into whale vagina. Stay classy Katie.

  4. I literally WOULD rather watch Bryan Fantana than Tits McGee. Of course, Katie did give us the inside scoop on the latest fashions worn by Arab revolutionaries!

  7. Love the Anchorman reference.

    I cannot STAND Katie Couric. She is a pretentious, entitled Diva. She deserved to tank too.

  10. Ha! I remember how in 1990, how the fat, 30-40something women demographic hated Deborah Norville for replacing Jane Pauley when Pauley left to do her own program.

    Glad to see the same demographic bitching about Katie Couric.

    I'm not a huge fan of Katie's....her mouth bothers me. Best of luck to her.

  13. When is Couric ever on the evening news? Whenever I tune in, she is off or on assignment. I'm surprised she lasted this long.
