Katie's Show Is In Trouble

Even though the ratings for Katie Couric's show are pretty good, there are some obvious signs of unrest. Two producers and a director have left the show over the past few days, and there are rumors that CNN is trying to woo Katie to leave the show too.

According to the article in the Hollywood Reporter, Katie's having trouble adjusting to the softer stories she has to do in daytime after her stint as a network news anchor. (Ironically, they said the same thing about her transition from soft stories to hard-news stories when she first became the network news anchor).

All I know is that it's not appropriate at this time to print my favorite Katie Couric picture, because she clearly doesn't feel like cheering right now.

Although...think about it for a second. Sometimes cheerleaders need to be brought in for this precise purpose, to cheer everyone up when things aren't going well. OK, that settles it. I talked myself into it.
