NBC's TODAY show host Katie Couric called in sick on Tuesday, taking a rest from her on-air duties.
"Katie's a bit under the weather," subhost Ann Curry informed disappointed viewers.
Couric, who just became the highest paid person in the history of the news business with a new multiyear, mulitmillion dollar contract, notified producers that she was suffering from mild flu, according to sources.
Couric is paid an estimated $65,000 a day, under the new terms.
More than eyebrows were raised around NBC in New York City when photos started to appear on the wires Tuesday evening taken at a party in Boston -- photos showing Couric partying it up with boyfriend, powerproducer Tom Werner!….

For $65,000.00 a day I think I could crawl into work no matter what the virus. Ebola? Phooey!
... and thereby raise the IQ of BOTH networks.
Katie Couric calls in sick. This is news?
She's repulsive.
What exactly does she do?
UGH....useless person.
Either this story is a couple of years old or I'm having one of them day ja views.
This looks awfully similar to a report I saw several years ago...
Katie was there this morning. She was reporting from LA. She was not in Boston.
This would be a place NBC could save a lot of money. You don't have to be a Rhodes Scholar to read the news from a prepared sheet of paper.
What Bulls$it. This woman makes that much money for just reading and talking. Holy Mary Mother of God, what a hypocrite. She and her pals are always slandering and sliming the rich yet she has the audacity to demand that much money for what? Talking?
Stinking hypocrite.
The uber-hag was just having a little 'Bondo' work done to the old grill--stretched outta shape--and some clear-coat sprayed on.
Just so people will know, that is NOT PhotoShopped.
WHO CARES???????????????????????
I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, as maybe she had to entertain the out of town get-together as a clown, as she did for Donald Trump's wedding.
Katie's looking a little 'Beefy' don't you think?
Constipation. She needs another colonescapde..
Why did you post this here today when it happened in January of 2002?
