Couric offered '60 Min'

Katie Couric may finally get the chance to become a regular on "60 Minutes," now that she is apparently stepping down from the nightly news anchor job.

An offer to become a regular correspondent for the prestigious Sunday night TV magazine is part of the package being offered Couric -- if she'll stay and do a projected daytime talk show for CBS, according to several network insiders.

Ironically, Couric's 2006 contract called for her to contribute to the magazine at least six times a year, which never happened.

When the show's notoriously prickly producers failed to give her any assignments, Couric turned elsewhere.

She just needs to let her eyebrows grow a bit and she can have Andy Looney’s job. With a smirk, a smile and some not too well thought out comments, she’ll be a natural.

If I were running CBS, I’d give her “60 Minutes” to pack her stuff and get out of the building.

She’s a failure on all shows because she’s impossible to listen to. She’d be perfect for the OWN network.

Well, she’s earned it, worked hard, and NOBODY is more qualified. Go Katie Go...

But, don’t feed anyone rotten Chili while at 60 minutes, or they might do a 20 minute segment on you...

So The Perky One goes to “60 Minutes”. How does THAT help “60 Minutes”? Are they experiencing a bimbo shortage?

how about a TV special “Gone in 60 Minutes” - she could play Mary Jo Kopechne

“Pulled her knee pads out of mothballs.”
Ha ha! That’s great. She’s getting a little long in the tooth for rug burns, only a year or two left, I’d say.

She’ll make it seem like 90 minutes.

Thank God, I no longer have to suffer through
American TV, and the Marxist media.
As for Couric, or any of the MSM pundits, I would
rather watch paint dry.

Maybe should could do segments on 60 Minutes reviewing old B&W movies.

I’d give her 60 years for being a public nuisance and posing as a journalist.

Great, she goes from one show I don’t watch to another show I don’t watch.

Well, CBS is very smart and has its hand on the American pulse. Couric was too liberal for the nightly news. Maybe, just maybe if she were liberal on 60 minutes, it would improve their ratings. Oh, wait 60 minutes is already 100% liberal. It will capture the 110% liberal audience now.

I don't know if they still do this but they used to have a "letters" section on 60 minutes. One letter read "You guys have two eyes, why do you see only out of the left one?" Loved that.
