A long time ago in a media world far, far away, Katie Couric was once seen as a competent, likable, down to earth co-host of NBC's "Today Show." She was appealing, smart, and accessible, But success ruined Couric. Over time, she became a Media Diva and a divisive, hysterical left-wing partisan. Whatever your politics, it is impossible to dispute that Couric went Hollywood -- and narcissism is never pretty
In the wake of her chilling metamorphosis, Couric has only met failure. But her latest endeavor, a daytime talk show, is making Couric's time at CBS look like the glory days of a fast-fading career:
“While all television is going through a difficult time and programming is having a hard time finding its niche, Katie’s new talk show does not live up its expectations,” a source closely connected to the ABC show told FOX411’s column. “Whatever constraints Katie experienced anchoring ‘Evening News’ [it is] certainly taking its toll, and her return to daytime has backfired.”
Others in the industry are even less kind. “It’s an unmitigated disaster,” one seasoned studio executive said. “One of the biggest failures ever in syndication. Terrible ratings, no growth, shouldn’t be on the air. Where did it miss the mark? Let’s start with her, she is dreadfully boring. The show offers nothing new to the audience, nothing to say.”
When “Katie” launched in September 2012, and many expected that Couric would fill Oprah’s shoes as the ultimate talk show Queen, and although the show is number one in the ranks of first-year talk shows in terms of ratings, it has endured an erratic, overall underperformance. Nielsen Media Research reported that in mid-May Couric’s show averaged a 1.6 rating/5 share average in households, down 30 percent from the same time period last year.

In music they would call her a one-hit wonder. Is she a one-show wonder? Her stint on the Today Show was the apex of her career. Now she’s just an overpaid, glorified newsreader who is going downhill fast.
LOL couldnt have happened to a nicer person...awwwwwwwwwwww poor perky one..Hey Katie, we havent forgotten what you did to Sarah Palin nor will we forget, so karma’s a b*tch
Katie needs to wear a sign around her neck saying ‘’Stop Me Before I Destroy Another Network!’’
LOLOLOL!!!
Full blown, train wreck liberalism, is what is killing ratings. While Couric is as liberally vapid as the rest of the drones on liberal TV, she has one major strike against her; she was immortalized on South Park. Parker and Stone named the “Couric Scale” as a size and measurement of feces.
Quite fitting, if you ask me.
She’s not dancin’, she’s dropping a deuce.
Don't sugar coat it like that.
Tell us what she's really like.
I hear internet cam whore sites are hiring...
When she was young, she was attractive. I can’t think of any other positive thing to say about her.
“Replace her with Sarah Palin.”
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA ! . . Wouldn’t THAT be RICH ?!! . . AND a fitting reward for Katie Obama Baby!
Katie Couric? Didn’t she used to be somebody?
I read an article a few years back about how elite believe money happens, as in knowing the right people etc., it's not earned nor is wealth created.
The time since that has passed has made me realize just how accurate that article was, I wish I could recall who wrote it though.
Anyone here recall it?
I'd love to have it saved, it really was so spot on.
That's a thought. All the networks were declared extinct years ago in this house.
She proved she was a perfect AH already on national TV, why is she still on??
Why exactly? Because you can read from a prepared script most of the time, or have established Liberal creds that you "care" during your interviews??
Real talent in any field does not have to be manufactured and is more enduring...
Be much more entertaining, huge ratings, and the whores could really use the cash.
Once in a while they could bring in a nice single mom or schoolteacher.
Katie Couric is even more repugnant than Diane Sawyer, if that is possible.
Which unfortunately means she may still be around for another decade......based on Sawyer’s career.
