This Is Why She Should Not Be Doing The Evening News
Filed under: Media Minute > Katie CouricKatie Couric has a YouTube account (who knew?) and the CBS anchor just posted a cute, silly, very silly video that is unbecoming of a nightly news host.
If she were still doing daytime, then cool.
But how can we take her seriously after watching THIS????

She wanted the $$$ and CBS was willing to give it to her…what more can be said?!

Oh Shelly (above) - you sweet moron. Katie is a conservative to the core. Main reason I stopped watching the today show when she was on it. That, and her over-abundent gums . .
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BALLLLLiNNN

So what? You are saying that THIS is why she shouldn't be anchoring the news? Are you nuts? She just looks like she's having fun — what in the world is wrong with that? Should she just walk around being serious all the time in order to qualify to be anchoring news? You're just jealous.
UM, WHAT THE HELL R U TALKING ABOUT!!! THIS WAS FOR CHARITY AND SHOWS SHE IS A REAL PERSON, NOT JUST A STIFF NEWS WOMAN!!! ITS NOT LIKE SHE GOT UP AT A BAR ON A TUESDAY AND WAS DRUNK OFF HER ASS, IT WAS A CHARITY EVENT. LIKE THEY SAY–DO ANYTHING TO RAISE A BUCK. GROW UP DUDE AND STOP HATING
wasted
perez, you are talking out of your ass…… Katie is doing something wonderful with Bette and she put up a video about it. Its NOTHING embarrasing… you suck.
She's adorable. Just because someone does nightly news doesn't mean they can't have a personality. Shocking people have lives outside of their jobs! :SHOCK:
I don't agree with you. Katie Couric is cute and bubbly and that is her personality. I like the fact that she isn't all stuffy and serious. She shouldn't change who she is because she took a job with the evening news. Don't you preach being true to yourself?
so nightly news anchors are not supposed to appear personable? jeez..
eh!
I see notjhing wrong with this video, why can't she have fun and enjoy herself. I don't watch her on the news but f she wants to have fun then let her.
First!! Give her a break
is it just me, or does she look kind of fat.
PEREZ I WANT TO KNOW ONE THING, WHEN DO WE STOP TALKING ABOUT KATIE AND START TALKING ABOUT HOW YOU BE TEARING HOLES IN OREO COOKIES AND SOFTH SANDWICH TACOS! YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO THAT, THAT IS THE REAL REASON YOUR CAKEIN UP SO MUCH MONEY THESE DAYS!
You mean you took Katie Couric seriously? Seriously?
Perez- You dare ask how we can take Katie seriously after watching this? What was this? The answer, you dumb ass is a fund raiser. She was being paid. She was not in front of the cameras at CBS. She was being her own person doing what someone else asked her to do on her own time. The real question you should be asking us is this, How can we take you seriously when you are so absurdly immature and naive and wear those terrible, and I do mean terrible, outfits! When you come up with a real answer, one that appeals to logic, let me know!
I think you're completely overreacting, perez. She's just trying to get the word out there about a good cause.
After the crazy shit we saw her do on the Today show, including flying around in a Peter Pan costume, why are we surprised?
I think she's proud to be co-chairing for such an important cause & for her NYC which she obviously loves so much she will sing & dance for it! Give her a break!!! p.s. Liberals ROCK … you conservatives are brainwashed insecure idiots!
Love you Perez - but she was just having fun, and for a good cause no less!
From what you said, I expected MUCH worse.
I don't see the big deal–wouldn't it be great to see Dan Rather up there singing? Would we think it was "unbecoming"?

I should explain about Katie the Conservative - Katie has LONG been know to be a die-hard conservative - in the closet. Its no longer intellectually acceptable to be Conservative, so she pretends to be liberal — however, this is about as dopey as the the Bush cronies and their "hip-hop"."
Very typical idiot conservative "attempting" to fit in. Just doesn't work.
Don't be so bitter. It's for charity! I dislike Katie as much as the next person, but you are really grasping at straws.
I think that rather being so critical of Katie, we should be recognizing the good she is doing with her celebrity status and even the fact that she is hanging in there despite losing her husband. Lets not forget that this sillyness is for a good cause. Often you post links on your blog for readers to donate, this is Katie's way of promoting awareness and having fun. At least she seems like she wants to be there rather than the other celebrities who stay for a few pictures and leave. Its great to see Katie happy after tragically losing her husband. Thus, lets focus on the good, rather than the bad, especially in times when the world is such scary place and going through such economically hard times.
Thats soooo cool Katie got to sing with Bette Midler, the divine Ms.M!! every gay mans fantasy
I agree that the video is not that bad.. but, yeah, the earrings!
So let me get this right…we currently have a alcoholic trigger happy retard for president; our previous president, though he did not fuck up our lives so much, liked to get head in the oval office from an intern or two, and Katie Couric signs and acts silly for CHARITY-and this you take issue with? Do you really hate women or something? Seems like it lately.
I think she is cute and silly, not disrespectful in any way shapre or form
I say good for her!! You know it's nice to see people that are so called famous actually letting their hair down and being "Normal" once in a while. Of course nobody really knows what in the fuck normal is anymore…do we Perez!!
Shocker! Omg! If this were a guy, everyone would say how nice, he's getting people to help buy and plant trees SO WE CAN ALL BREATH.
This looked like great fun and everyone was having a great time for such a serious project. You'd think someone committed a crime.
No fair!!! If Brian Williams can go on "Saturday Night Live", then why can't Katie do this?? Double standard!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perez, plzzzz pick on somebody with the same breast size as you and leave Katie alone!
Perez, darling. I know you hate Katie Couric for some reason, but this was for CHARITY. She's a good sport and helping the environment.
I love you but you really can be a tool sometimes.
I've met Katie. She's very down to earth, very supportive of numerous causes, one of which she is performing for in this video.
You're picking on the wrong person here Perez.
perez i feel like i don't know you anymore.
you have such conservative views.
Re: B!tch Barbie –
FUCK OFF AND CALM DOWN!!!
It is a benefit show, and it is excellent press for Bette's charity. Thanks to you posting it– it has reached beyond the NYC area. There is nothing unprofessional or unbecoming in this video.
I don't get it, Perez. Katie is doing something fun, legal and helpful and you're dissing her for it? It's for charity! It's for a good time and for a good cause! What eatin' you today sweetie? It shows Katie is a real, thinking, feeling and kind individual - JUST the kind of person I want telling me the news (instead of talking heads). Think on this one again, Mario.
what are you talking about perez? this is a nothing story and you recently have too much of a double standard and hollier than thou attitude going!
Brian Williams hosted SNL.
Perez, sometimes you shock me with your provincial views. Why can't someone be silly and have fun and still be taken seriously in their professional realm?
Katie is great…Perez is a nob! Katie if you're reading this (and I know you will) I hope it's you that my daughters emulate. I hope they look up to you, or Hilary, or Condaleeza instead of Miley, Lindsay, Brittany, Paris, Nicole, Jamie-Lynn or Vanessa (see me naked) Hodgson! You're obviously enjoying yourself while doing something worth while and important and if the Perez Hilton's of the world don't like it, then rest assure that mothers of the world love you for it!
What an ego. What a loser. She is so full of herself. She has set the woman's movement back 20 years. For a newscaster - she can't even speak properly. Singing? She pronounces her "ing" as EEEN - so it's SING-EEEN. What a hack.
give me a break. she is intelligent, kind, and normal. give her a break would ya?
Are you kidding? She donated her time and energy to a FABULOUS cause, and it's not like she made an ass of herself or anything… she got up there and sang and everyone seemed to love it!
I applaud her efforts. I don't watch her on the news, but if I did this sure wouldn't turn me off her.
I think it's great when ANY celebrity uses their fame to bring the public's attention to a worthy cause.
At least she's DOING something!!
Since when did someone having fun and doing good things for charity become a bad thing?
I guess you hate Bette Midler too because she was doing the exact same thing as Katie.
(Noooooooo…. can't hate Bette!)
Looks fine to me. What diff does it make if she does the evening or afternoon news? She was having fun outside of work. Can't she have a sense of humor and do the evening news too? Geez. Lighten up Perez…
OMG Dear Perez–could it be you're getting conservative in your old age? If Brian Williams can go on SNL and ham it up before a national audience, Katie can sure cut loose for charity in a Manhattan tent. I don't watch her on CBS–never have–but this is just doing a good deed for charity. Lighten up, s'il vous plais!
wow.. something good accomplished and some fun had… HOW TERRIBLY WRONG. idiots.
Who cares
I don't see anything wrong with the video regardless of her proffesion. The rel reason people don't like Katie is because she is a woman doing the nightly news. Barbara Walters went through the same thing and look how succesful she is. People are always overly critical of women in high-profile jobs like Katie has. They are either perceived as ditsy and soft or they are a 'bitch', which is the problem Hilary Clinton is facing. It's immature and off-base to say that Katie Couric has "set the woman's movement back 20 years". Truthfully, trying to box women into an "acceptable" persona as some of you are doing is a bigger setback to feminism than a woman who is doing her job and being herself.
omg, boring. i can't believe i sat thru all that. what's the big deal. everyone has to have fun. at least she's not getting out a car flashing her crotch!
PEREZ: WHETHER YOU KNOW IT OR NOT THIS IS COMPLETELY SEXIST OF YOU. SHE'S HAVING FUN, BEING SILLY. IF THIS WERE BRIAN WILLIAMS EVERYONE WOULD SAY - "COOL, HE'S NOT SO STIFF AFTER ALL." SHAME ON YOU.
No shit! She is an eighth grader, I can't stand her. And can't she pronounce "ing"? For her, walking becomes "walkeeen". Singing becomes singeeeeen. She sucks. And she has horrible taste. It goes back further than the ridiculous earrings.
I think she's cute. God, no wonder her man is like twenty years younger-she's so adorable. Not all news anchors can be like Pererz Hilton-serious.
Nothing wrong with the video perez. She's having fun at a charity event, are you saying news anchors aren't allowed to have fun in their own time?? You really are strange sometimes.
I think I'll start watching her now!!! She's so adorable!!!!!!!
you should be doing the news!! who better than you to tell the truth, be honest, check the facts, and from the homo point of view
Re: ks – I agree! She is not on the video reporting the news..she is having fun on her own time. Big Deal!
she's cute. She's doing it for charity. What's wrong with a nightly news anchor doing something silly for charity??
PLEASE READ!!! Perez gives us topics and opinions that will get you to respond…BECAUSE HE THEN SELLS YOUR E-MAIL info…GET IT….SPAM ALERT!
get over it, i would be worried if she was doing this on the news, but she wasn't and what she does in knock off is her business
i havent taken this bimbo seriously since i saw her do an interview about 10 years ago during which she asked a man who had committed treason against the u.s if he felt "icky" about what he did. icky my then 5 year old could have done a better interview!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: lg –
I've never gotten spam.
He must only sell the emails of idiots like you.
I am not a fan of Couric, but what's so silly about this?
She actually has a pretty good voice- and she did it for a good cause.
Perez, you really have a sh*tlist that doesn't make much sense to me.
Perez, stop being so sexist. If it was a guy, you would have a TOTALLY different reaction.
Is she supposed to act like a boring old white guy to fit in?
I'm no Katie fan BUT, this is for a charity event. The guy who was on the news before her (Bob Scheiffer) sings with some crappy band all the time! And he's worse than her! Finally, at least she wasn't presenting false news stories like Dan Rather, or re-enacting news stories and presenting them as actual footage like Dan Rather…and he kept his job for forever and a day. This is nothing.
And how is this different from Brian Williams on SNL except that this is for charity and he was there to get paid?
I'm no Katie Couric fan or anything, but you seriously have the audacity to deem her behavior "unbecoming" on the account of her ability to disassociate herself from work and have fun for a CHARITY? What exactly is it that strikes you as "unbecoming?" Are you for real? What's unbecoming is the false scrutiny you've conjured against someone who ultimately doesn't deserve it. Here's a tip: Put down the latte, step away from the Apple i-book and get a damn clue.
Unbecoming, Mario???
Hello pot, meet kettle.
she can't speak w/out a teleprompter. she stinks.
I dont get it. I didnt watch the whole thing..who has time? but what I saw was nothing! you mean pm news anchors are not allowed to sing with bette middler?? Do tell!
…your point?
YAHOOOOOOOOO! You are all insane!!! What have you done to my girlfriend?
She is a moron - who did she blow to get the job? Yikes!
She's a terrible interviewer, maybe okay for morning tv but her diva ways were wearing thin.
She'll be resigning soon to "spend more time with her girls" and CBS will go back to real news. Bring on Bob Scheifer!
I don't know what your problem is with her, but this is just a cute video of her doing good work for the community and having some fun while doing it.
There is nothing wrong with it, and it doesn't have anything to do with whether she should or shouldn't be doing the evening news!
She's a joke. CBS just needs to retire her already.
Les Moonves, are you listening?
OK- so Brian Williams can go on Saturday Night Live, but Katie Couric can't go to a CHARITY event and have some fun. DUDE_ get a clue!! This is life. Her husband is in the dirt. Life is short. NIghtly news is YESTERDAY. News is 24/7. It does not have to be STAID. the MEN like walter cronkite and dan rather MADE it that way. It doesn't mean it has to STAY that way. You have revolved as a human being that everything is okay for a GAY person, but seem to be in the closet on so many other things –especially ADVANCEMENT of women. fuck off.
how in gods name is this unbecoming. okay so she is super silly and has a little bit to much of a good time once in awile. it dosnt mean that she cant be seriouse and actualy mean what she says nightly on the news. shes brains, beauty, and shes fun
Lighten up, she's doing a BENEFIT for Chrissake. It's an honorable thing to do. Wouldn't peg you to be such a stuffed shirt, Perez.
Katie, those earrings are so not happening after 18.
Whilst I pride myself on having never watched her evening newscast on CBS and virtually never on Today, I think you have a big stick up your arse (and I don't mean a dick) to diss a charity appearance. Shame on you!
