Katie Couric's Talk Show Teetering on the Verge of Cancellation
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 10/9/2013 | Alex Ben Block

Soft ratings, a huge budget and "disdain" for her female audience — Q Scores report only 10 percent of women view Couric favorably — have the host's Disney/ABC talk show in jeopardy as a renewal decision nears.

“So the inevitable question for me is how can someone who is 57 be perky? Answer: They can’t.”

Katie Couric = Ruth Gator Ginsburg = “Perky”

First they had some bogus award party to give her acclaim for her nastiness with Sarah Palin.

Then they gave her a news show and ,....plop, it went bust.

And get this....this dumb woman has a column in Woman’s Day when yon fine writer (ME) writes rings around this low-intelligent nothing-burger. Along with millions of other writers cause just cause you were a smiling dumbbell on a dumb morning show DOES NOT MAKE YOU AN EXPERT ON ANYTHING!

Now this.....talk show crapshoot.

Somebody please put us out of our misery and can this beast.

We both graduated from UVA the same year.

I don’t remember her, but she was a BWOC, editor of the Cavalier Daily, etc.

Her show cancellation means she is soon to be on Dancing with the Stars.

Pesky is more like it. She’s really annoying.

I think what should be said about her is what should be said about all these elitist over-the-hill liberals.

"She's still alive?!"

Nothing but a bed spread for those who ran the media and had her in their studios. She was nothing and will remain nothing. Millions of dollars to a gas bag.

The record is a 8.2 crap on the Couric scale.

Compliments of South Park.

I guess going for the "vast" homo audience didn't pan out for her.../s

If not a female audience, what audience did she aim for an daytime talk show?

Dumb, really dumb...

Good. The faster “Perky” Katie Couric’s talk show goes off the air and she's unemployed, the better for America. Katie is a brain dead twit.
