Heehehehe, yeah, that's what America wants. That's why most men don't want to watch the foxes at FOX NEWS. We would rather watch a formerly somewhat attractive airhead who is nearing her mid 50's.

"The effable Eva Braun of morning television", what WILL we do without you?
I for one, will celebrate Katie Kolon's new gig by taking a great big ol' dump, and flush twice - it's a long way to Black Rock.

We need John Cameron Swayze's "Camel News Caravan" back.

In other words, a female clueless version of Ted Baxter.
Ted seemed to know he was Ted on the show. Katie Cupcake does not know.

Well that counts Couric out.

She obviously has a crush on herself. Oh, and her taste sucks too.

Where's Chevy Chase when you need him?
Katie, you ignorant slut!
To: Sub-Driver
Gee, and I thought Katie Couric was merely Ted Baxter in drag..... the same vapid self-importance, arrogant condescension, mindless bluster.... I really think that anyone living in her glass house should not be throwing stones at other broadcasters.

She is what she is. A creature of the post modern feminazi era. All surface and no depth. It's like watching "Sex and the City", but without the sex... or the city.

Gee, I always heard it as "comes on at five". Guess I should surf lyrics.com more often...
To: Cletus.D.Yokel
Gee, I always heard it as "comes on at five". That is the lyric. It's also by Don Henley, not the Eagles. (Yes, he was one of the Eagles, but this was a solo song of his.)

Actually, I think she may have a point. I have often compared local anchors (and national) to good old Ted Baxter. The pompous cluelessness is dead on in most cases.
The network anchors are pompous, but the local anchors seem to be affable dufuses with GQ hair.

"People want a multidimensional (news anchor) and not someone they can put in a box."
Ms. Couric thinks that people want to hear her talking about herself.

Couric said evening news audiences "don't want a mechanical Ted Baxter," referring to Ted Knight's stuffy character on the "Mary Tyler Moore Show." "People want a multidimensional (news anchor) and not someone they can put in a box." They also don't want the bubbleheadd bleach blonde that comes on @ 5. Tell us of the plane crash with a gleam in her eye! Its interesting when people die, give us Katie Couric!

Right you are. I think I was about 8 when that show was on, so please forgive me.

She reminds me of Sue Ann ( I think that was her name. Super Air-head. Wrong. Sue-Ann Nivens was Martha Stewart
