well the today show has always been my show in the morning. i like the chemistry katie & matt have, even if it happens to be all for show...i think meredith will be quite capable of filling her shoes...i think alot of katie's appeal came from her just being so damn cute & perky when she first came on the show & willingness to give the BS right back to that Gumbel character, plus the tragedy that everyone watched her go through. she may be somewhat of a fluff reporter but given the chance, i think she'll do well. worth all the money? thats another subject entirely

Is cute and perky really worth 20 million a year for anybody, I think not. You could feed the entire worlds poor population with half that amount....shops target my patute!!!

Imagine what advertising on a station that pays that much for cute and perky adds to the cost of goods sold. I could do a lot MORE target shopping if I weren't paying all those advertising dollars.

But I guess somebody's gotta' do it. If not her then it might be someone not even as likeable. However, I don't think she has very much hard news reporting experience at all and maybe that's one of the problems with the media. They don't hire qualified journalists so we get gossip instead of news.

The nanny is the one who shops target.

Katie is not my favorite morning show host, but maybe I'll like her better if she is more neutral.

No really, Katie shops at Target. She's known to be very tight with her money and still drives a very old Honda or some car like that. She's extremely frugal. Believe it or not, it's true.

I'm with you Chatty - I'm not overly fond of Katie. I think she's cute and perky, no doubt, but she's also very inappropriate at times. I realize morning news shows have to be entertaining but not down right comical! Perky doesn't sell me on the news. Granted, I am thrilled a Boomer woman is given this opportunity, but Katie? I enjoy a little humor injected on occasion but unless she's able to maintain the seriousness the nightly news deserves I'll switch channels!

I happen to like Bob Scheiffer and can't imagine her taking over for such a mature, respected news persona.

I do enjoy watching Katie on the morning show. What a great example to all of us for the success she has earned. Yeah, she can be perky and entertaining so but are lots of men, and I am hopeful she be as successful on the evening news.

Personally I don't mind Katie Couric. It's always a plus when a boomer gal gets ahead, IMO. I want to see far more women moving up and beyond where they are now. I hope she does really well and is a credit to all of us boomer gals.

I'm inclined to toss my hat in the ring with Maggie and the rest. Go Katie!

To me the debate shouldn't be whether or not she's qualified, but whether or not things have gotten out of control with salaries to celebrities, TV personalities, atheletics, etc...when our men and women put in harms way every day are making barely above minimum wage! Fireman....policemen and women! Military!

These people put their very lives on the line EVERY DAY.

I say bless Katie's heart if she can get it, and more power to her....but I would have a hard time looking a fireman or policeman/woman in the face and saying she was worth it. (Queen stepping down from soapbox)
