Tomorrow will be the last day for Katie Couric on the Today Show. She leaves to take a summer sabbatical, taking the time to prepare for her move over to CBS and the evening news slot. This story has had almost as much traction than the Pitt-Jolie baby thingie. By the way, exactly what was “it” that they had? I’m sorry. I really haven’t been paying attention.
Couric has been the co-host of the Today Show for nearly 15 years, taking the job after Deborah Norville was sent packing with her tail in between her legs. Couric made an admirable foe for host Bryant Gumbel, her perky, blah-blah-blah in comparison of his blah-blah-blah. You know, I can’t do this. I tried for a minute to do respectable hard-hitting entries. But I can’t do it. I just don’t care enough. And you have to care enough to want to do the news.
I guess that’s why Couric was named the new host of the CBS Evening News. Maybe she cares a lot, at least a lot more than me. Plus, she’s cute. Sure, she’s pushing 50, but it’s a hot 50. Sometimes I look at Couric and forget that she’s 49, and a mother of two. I bet her kids aren’t much younger than me. I think they both might be teen-agers. Maybe they’re 19 or something. Under the right circumstances, I could possibly become Couric’s new son-in-law. I bet she’d like that.
The only problem with the whole thing would be that I’d be far more into Mama Couric than I would my own wife. I’d love my wife, but I’d want to do her mother. I bet that makes me a sick pervert, wanting to do my mother-in-law. But I wouldn’t be able to help it, because I’ve been digging Couric since she came on the Today Show.
She wasn’t all that hot when she first came on. The short hair and the fat belly just didn’t do it for me. Plus, her clothing wasn’t all that revealing either. She sort of looked like Patricia Heaton during the early years of the Everybody Loves Raymond show.
In fact, both women went through the same transformation in terms of looks. It probably wasn’t during the same exact time, because Everybody Loves Raymond wasn’t on when Couric started the Today Show. But both women went through the same on-air transformation, where their looks got vamped up.
Unfortunately, Couric’s came about hers after her husband died of colon cancer. I guess, after going through that long bout of the disease with her husband, and finding herself all alone in the end, she felt the need to do something different, which included coloring her hair blonde.
But since then, she’s turned up the hot factor. The older she’s gotten, the sexier she’s become, her body becoming more toned, and her skin, more tanned. Before, I adored her. Now, I want her, which, I guess, makes it a good move on CBS’s part for getting Couric to switch. Because, before, I never watched the CBS Evening News. Now, I’ll at least be checking it out for the first month or so, just so I can continue seeing my girl.
