CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric was reunited with Matt Lauer on the Today Show Wednesday to talk about her new book, The Best Advice I Ever Got.
Nearly five years after leaving Studio 1A to be the first female solo news anchor in history, the perky former co-host claims to be a little older and none the wiser since leaving NBC in 2006.
Lauer asked his former colleague about recent job change rumors: “What are you going to do?” Katie seemed to be hedging a bit when she replied: “I’m not sure. I’m excited about the future. I love my job at the CBS Evening News, I do. I’m just in the middle of figuring it out. “
Matt continued to probe: “There is a lot of speculation. I know you and I know the business well. Is it fair to assume you have made a decision — because you’ve only got weeks left in your contract?”
Couric said emphatically: “No, I really haven’t. I’m in the middle of figuring out where would be the best place for me, what would be the best job for me.”
Did Lauer seriously think she’d be giving the ‘real’ scoop to the Peacock Network?
