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!….

The last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.

Perkie & her new beau:

I hope it's not high colonic therapy.

[dwilli]

yes it is. I despise Kouric as much as anyone but
to post this in breaking news when it happened years ago
makes some board posters look dumb and the original
poster out a phony.

[groovejedi]

I love you're tagline

"I thought her boyfriend was Chris Botti, a jazz trumpet player."

I think that he has already dumped her (her clown suit for The Donald was probably the last straw,) and she's back with Werner.

[dwilli]

What is the purpose of posting this in breaking news other
than trying to deceive the board?

Last night was the post Oscar party in Manhattan for all the beautiful people. Katie must have had a bad reaction to whatever drug was being passed about.

The last time I saw her on TV, I was in the electronics section of a major appliance store (just before Christmas). I couldn't believe her attitude and the B$ coming out of her mouth against Republicans. She almost made me barf onto the TVs on display.

[Miss Behave]

Hey, I didn't question it probably because she supposedly is back with Werner. I remember when she did this with Werner before. So sorry.

My assesment and characterization of Karicature Katie sticks, however.

[vin-one]

this is an old news report, her new contract is way over a year old......and yes she was on from CA. this mornging and left early to catch a flight. Not that I watch the Today show or anything, but the wifey does........

[add925]

That would be a great thing to summarize & post here on this thread...what brought up the topic?

[dwilli]

I have zero use for Katie but when some jerk pulls
a three year old story and passes it off as happening
yesterday and some of the posters react to it, it makes
the board look bad.

[add925]

I think we heard you the first time. The real Moderators will pull it if necessary.

[Miss Behave]

I agree, and I said in my previous post that I was sorry that I believed (just like all the other posters) that it was true.

"Katie's a bit under the weather," subhost Ann Curry informed disappointed viewers.

Shouldn't it be: "Katie's a bit under the weather," subhost Ann Curry informed viewers who were pleased with the break from Katie and her tiresome liberal bias and Left Wing antics.

Was your screen name in the To: line? I don't recall
doing so.

[bookworm100]

You are right. This is old news. This was emailed to me and I did not doublecheck the date before I posted it. Couric was absent from the show this morning. I assumed the story was current. I will be more careful in the future.

[dwilli]

I remembered the story from when it happened. I'm certainly not defending Kouric, she's trash at its finest.

[add925]

Was your screen name in the To: line? I don't recall doing so..

Oh, oh dwilli, you've riled up SpecOps Cody with your lack of humor and multiple postings of the same message. No one owes YOU an apology so......:

[dwilli]

You'll never have a day you're capable of that.
