Shocking, huh? What will Matt do? I'm thinking he'll be throwing a big party in celebration. I wonder how he feels about Meredith Vieria? What will poor Joy Behar do if Meredith Vieria leaves The View? She'll go insane.
Katie Couric's deal to move to CBS News is completed in principle, and an announcement that she is leaving NBC might come as early as this week.That's the quiet buzz among sources familiar with assorted moving parts connected to the deal to transform Ms. Couric from co-anchor of the No. 1 morning show "Today" to anchor of the third-place-but-growing "CBS Evening News." In taking on the CBS job, Ms. Couric would be the first female to serve as sole anchor of a network flagship newscast.
The first announcement should be that Ms. Couric is leaving the Peacock Network and the viewers who have spent their mornings with Ms. Couric for 15 years.
The official announcement of CBS's dream come true-landing Ms. Couric as its evening star- would follow, perhaps next week. Ms. Couric's personal publicist, Matthew Hiltzik of Freud Communications, declined to comment to TelevisionWeek last week, as did representatives of NBC News and CBS News.
Couric a Blink Away From Landmark Gig [TV Week]
JJANE617 says:
Good Riddance!!! NBC needs to be rid of her and infuse some new blood in the Today Show. I gotta say, watching it for the last couple of weeks when she was on "vacation" - everyone else on the show seemed really happy not to have her around! Last week, when either Natalie Morales or Campbell Brown commented on her absence, Al Roker gleefully said "We're countin' down!!!", giggled like a little girl and then proceeded to give us the weather. If that is not proof positive that bitch needs to get the fuck out, then I don't what is!
Trixie says:
Hopefully Joy Behar will find an outlet for her pain at losing Meredith by finally pounding the crap out of Star Jones, hopefully while the cameras are rolling.

Like CBS has any great audience.. Katie will rule over a dead screen.. and still be happy because of no complaints.. haha

This is a huge mistake on CBS's part. So, is the Evening News going to become one big giggling love-fest? Couric is in no way, shape or form a journalist. She is a television celebrity. And how will the other real reporters feel about her?
There were alot of hard working people who got passsed over. This stinks.
King Smart Ian says:
Too bad none of the bon-bon eating, curler-headed, Newport-smoking, housecoat-wearing yentas who watch Katie every day give a shit about watching a nightly "real" news broadcast
Small Fry says:
Ha ha ha, KSI, I love you. Will you marry me?
Can someone give Katie an eyeliner application lesson? Hideous, absolutely hideous!

Couric has always had "penis envy." Sad, she's never gotten over it.
