Just in time for Women's History Month, Katie Couric made history of her own when she became the first-ever female to stand behind the podium as a guest host on Jeopardy!

"I love that I'm the first woman!" Couric, who will host March 8-19, tells PEOPLE. "They framed a little thing for me after I was on. It says, 'What iconic journalist and Stand Up to Cancer founder is the first female guest host of Jeopardy!?' And then it says, 'Who is Katie Couric

It was Katie’s turn to host Jeopardy! tonight. Way to kick off Women’s History Month.

She was horrible. She sounded like a a computer generated voice. Not sure how she was picked.

Bring back Mike Richards (the producer) . . .

I thought she was dropped from the show in January for saying republicans need to be deprogrammed. I guess they were just waiting for that controversy to blow over. Liberals protect there own.

We have DirecTV and we have recorded Jeopardy every night for years. I made sure I cancelled Jeopardy starting today so I wouldn’t be counted as a viewer for Couric or any other libs they have announced. Like Anderson Cooper.

They lost me when they had this lady on the celebrity game several years ago:

We just had 29 agonizing days of black and now another 31 for the female species. My birthday month is June and has 30 days of faggotry and a special BS worthless day in “Juneteenth”. I miss our country for what it once was.

I'm waiting for White History Month and Men's History Month. Until that happens all the other history months are sexist and racist.

Watched ten seconds just to see who the host would be. Couric? Blechh! And then there’s that voice.

If Couric were the “first woman” then she’d be thousands of years old and unable to stand up, least of all host a good TV show (she wouldn’t know what a TV show was just as she didn’t know what honest news was).

They could use her for the “DEPENDS” commercials, esp. since she has been full of crap for decades.

The show’s new theme song with her at the helm should be “Tragedy”.

She’ll be the first woman to destroy a game show that’s been on the air since the early 1960s.

It is really irritating, to put it mildly. I just want the months and days to go back to what they’re supposed to be. I’ve told people they made my month into a dildo parade month.

She was really condescending and smarmy. At one point she said to the contestants “Good job, you brainiacs!”

The best part was watching her get annoyed when no one knew who Clara Schumann was - apparently an insult to phony feminists everywhere.

Needless to say, I won’t be tuning in again until she’s gone.
