Yahoo! announced today that they made the mistake of hiring Katie Couric to do their news. OK, they think it is good idea, but I think it is a mistake. I think she is the most overrated “newsanchor” out there and I can’t believe she keeps getting hired. After being all perky and annoying on The Today Show, CBS hired her to host CBS Evening News and the show bombed. Even though the newscast lost half its viewers during her run, ABC gave her a boatload of money to do a daytime talk show and be part of their newsteam. A talk show that no one talks about because there is nothing to talk about. Well today less than three years after ABC hired her to do their news; Yahoo hired her away to be their Global Anchor. Which would be more exciting if this was the time of Friendster, but it is the time of Google and Facebook so no one cares.
Once ABC finally cancels her talk show, we will finally be done with her fake smile and outdated hairdo on out television sets. A time according to my past employers (yes plural) was a long long long time coming.
Now when it comes to her talk show ending, which everyone assumes it will, hopefully ABC will be bring back the soap operas (All My Children and/or One Life to Live) they cancelled for her snoozefest called Katie.
