In case you’ve been hiding under a rock all month, today is Katie Couric’s last day on the Today Show.
NEW YORK (AP) — Millions of Americans can scarcely remember a weekday where Katie Couric wasn’t a part of their morning routine.
Maybe the “Today” show was on in the background when they gathered their homework for school. Later, she was there when they gulped a quick cup of coffee before work. In a few years, they’d watch TV while feeding the baby and Couric was still there — a few hairstyles later.
That comes to an end on Wednesday, Couric’s last day as “Today” co-host. She’ll be feted in a three-hour special edition stuffed with film clips and performances by Tony Bennett, Martina McBride and the cast of the Broadway show “Jersey Boys.”
In other words, our long national nightmare is over. Apparently, Couric is moving to the CBS Evening News, which means this morning is likely the last time I’ll see her on television.
