Katie Couric was in the right place at the right time. Her "talent" has nothing to do with how she was hired. We used to watch her on the local news in Virginia - I remember saying to myself that she should get into another line of work because her stories lacked any punch and she actually was a boring on air personality. There were numerous other young reporters that would have done an outstanding job. I also get very tired of hearing her voice her opinions over and over - the Today SHow is not the show it used to be - it is more like "Entertainment Tonight" these days. I do like the personalities of Ann, Matt and Al. I personally think the staff went through some sort of therapy because they seem more congenial than they used to be. However, the powers that be at NBC would be well advised to replace Couric at the end of her contract - viewers don't like her!
