WILL KATIE COURIC REPLACE LARRY KING?
It’s the story everyone’s talking about! Katie Couric’s early departure is all over the Web and is the lead story on the Huffington Post.
What will Katie do next is the big question?
According to the Wall Street Journal, “One possible new job for the Ms. Couric: succeeding Larry King at CNN. Mr. King, who is 74 years old, has a contract with the network into 2009. CNN President Jon Klein, a CBS veteran with close ties to some at the network, has expressed admiration for Ms. Couric’s work, and the two are friends. They had lunch in late January, and the anchor attended Mr. Klein’s birthday party in March. Time Warner Inc.’s CNN said, “Larry King is a great talent who consistently delivers the highest profile guests, and we have no plans to make a change.”
This would be the perfect spot for Katie Couric. She’s a great interviewer and people love opening up to her. That spot would play much greater to her strengths then her current role as anchor for CBS News.
