Why katie couric on gma

More Personal Touch!!! But Says, Don't Fire Her!!! In Disturbing Arrest Video. Dave Chappelle Down for Transgender Discussion We Can't Normalize This!!! Same for the Water Pick!!! Load More Stories. Isn't the sun out yet in Alaska??? Damn those long dark days really do have an adverse effect on some people don't they??!! Don't know what act of desperation caused the Today show to sink to that level.

If it was for ratings I have a feeling it may have backfired. I remember when McCain first introduced her as his fatal VP choice I told my sister 'she needs to shut up. I said 'cuz the more she talks the more I hate her. It's no fun. Not sure what I find more humurous, the fact you tried to use an id name like "gay boy" to hide the fact you're an ignorant conservative running their mouth.

Or the fact you're probably not American Indian and suggesting a black man go back to Africa. Why don't you go back to Europe LOL everyone is brave on the internet, huh tough guy or girl. Bully — defined as "someone who hurts smaller or weaker person, use influence to frighten or threaten someone". The American public voted with their channel clickers and seemed to say resoundingly that they prefer to watch somebody who has actually, oh, accomplished something, rather than a regurgitation of the same liberal, feel-good pap that Katie serves up.

I would watch Palin any day before Curic. Neither one of them has anything worthwhile to say, but at least Palin is hot!! The day americans learn to distinguish between poor quality and good quality will be teh day when ABC will run away with many million more viewers. The NBC show is popular becaus of Al the weather man.

Really folks do you think that Matt the bald head is in????? Besides, who is doing teh ratings??? The ex Governor is being fed the popularity BS by all the low life we have in America.

All this proves is that there are more stupid people in the U. This surprises someone? They tried that already with the tired creature known as palintwit. The overflow of traffic to the site actually caused it to go down for the better part of a day. Since the bunch of you here don't have an original thought of your own, why waste the effort? You know what the 'poll' would find — you hate for no other reason than the your beloved CNN told you to 1 hour after her VP pick was announced.

You do not know anything about her that is not false, made up or a Tina Fey impersonation that you are too stupid to know which is which. I love Palin. I'm a Vietnam era vet, and I was cursed and spit on by many of the same people who hate Palin.

Love ya but don't agree with ya! Done with the Today Show for good! Don't understand all of the hate directed at wholesome Sarah. It's like hating your mom, who doesn't just talk the talk, but walks the walk.

You gotta respect that. I enjoyed watching Sarah on the show and I think others did as well, although they won't admit it. You really should just be silent and count how many times she has made an idiot of herself and those around her! I'am sorry but I refused for the firsat time in years to watch the Today show.

I generally don't like watching any person I think is a nincompoop on TV, and boy was their a nincompoop on the Today show yesterday. Boycotted the Today show yesterday because I don't believe in helping the profoundly stupid line their pocketbooks. Same reason the Kardashians should be banished to a remote island to die. Ratings went up cuz it's something they been talking about for weeks. Something new to watch. They are also looking for Palin to fail at hosting.

Palin is a failure anyway, at everything. Gay Boy. Are you stupid? You must be if you think sarah and the rest of the repug party wouldn't like to see you, me and every oter gay person in the country burned at the stake. Get a clue. What a useless article. Says nothing about the content of the shows. CNN is resorting to the lowest form of journalism ever seen. Anyone actually see these shows?

I've watched Today for years, but am less loyal since it's gone fluffy, and will NOT watch if Palin is on. Palin beats Couric in TV ratings. Couric beats Palin in IQ ratings.

But then again that wouldn't be newsworthy. Anyone can beat Palin in IQ ratings. Luckily I have a full time job to go to so that I didn't have to watch either of this people.

I'm with you buddy? Fully employed here too!! Not that I would have watched knowing she was on but grateful I didn't have to make that decision. Economy is improving. Anyone notice? I like her libertarian politics—personal responsibility over nanny state, personal freedom over big brother, domestic energy production over international subservience.

But she never had a chance, because the media told the sheep to hate her, so they did. Kikky: I like her libertarian politics—personal responsibility over nanny state, personal freedom over big brother, domestic energy production over international subservience. She thinks just because she host's something that people will flock to her and watch. She makes me ill every time I see her. Trying to still captivate on her 3 seconds of fame from the Presidential elections.

Why won't these people just go away. We need something new and fresh, not the old Moldy faces we are continually bombarded with on the Networks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do not agree with Sarah Pailin on almost anyhing, but she is a force to be recognized.

I think it was a big mistake for her not to run for President this time. She would have aced Romney and Santorum. With Obama weak, she could have been President this time. Next time, she will be older news, and there will be good Republican challengers. I acknowledge I am looking in hindsight, but I think Sarah Palin lost her best opportunity.

She didn't run 1 cause she would lose. She could never hold her own against him. They only people that would vote for her are the tea party nut cases. She wouldn't even make a good greeter at the local Walmart. This article is SO misleading. It only talks about the ratings from Monday.

Palin was on Tuesday. What are those numbers. I agree with the vast majority here. Palin is a stain on this country. She couldn't make it as a governor. She said she could do more for the state of Alaska out of office. I would think being governor would be the best way to help my state out. Mccain made a huge mistake having her as his VP choice. She wasn't fit to be governor, but yet fit enought to be second in charge of our country!

So Sarah, what great works have you done for the state of Alaska? I will never watch anything to do with this women. Enough of the dumbing down of America! Actually I caught parts of both shows and I personally believe Palin did a better job than Couric. Many people watched to see how many mistakes Palin would make. I didn't. We know Couric is a competent host. Long-term, Couric would bury Palin in the ratings because people would quickly tire of pink slime when they could enjoy the real thing.

Of course she gets more ratings. Conservatives watch her cause they love her. Fanatics watch her cause they love her. Rest of the nation watch her to see how she makes fool of herself. She is an comical entertainment to most Americans. Palin is just as stiff as mitt romney is an the real truth is just not in her for her to speak it over any political subject.

DrEvil — so quitting in the middle of their term to run for President and Vice President or McCain would have done if he had won is the same as quitting in the middle of your term to go cash in on your 15 minutes of fame?

Speeches, books, reality TV, bus tours, tweets, etc. What a noble enterprise she has undertaken when she selflessly resigned again You've got to wonder if NBC execs are rolling laughing, knowing that their ratings grab with Spalin worked to perfection. Who could resist, if you're a network morning news watcher, the allure of Sarah and what is her one woman carnival attraction?

I watched it I'm guessing from the comments I'm probably one of the few here who did ; she seemed quite nice. Why so much hate for her? Is it because she belongs to the other party? Really people — we should be bigger than that.

I'm sure if she was one of us you all would love her. Be fair. I agree with you. One of these people is Katie Curic. Be grateful and praise the good Lord she is not one of us!! We have enough problems with her being one of them!!!

The only reason why Palin beat her in the ratings was because people wanted to see her make a fool of herself. Which she did very well. Very well. Now you've done it!!! Made me regurgitate all over myself. And you a CPA? Where did you learn to count? But I thought she was totally against the maiinstream, excuse me! I loved when they had Sarah do a segment about raising a teen. An unwed mother doing a reality show. What could Palin have to say that I would need to hear?

Katie is most sinful for going in TV uncovered. She is practically naked with her hair thusly exposed. I wonder at society of West sometime. Woman dominate everything, keep men down. Should be reversed. I needed a good laugh palin never fails at making me laugh —remember she said the dinasours lived a few thousand years ago hahahahaha!!!! I watched the today show with Couric and Brokaw in the early 80's,could not stand Couric and was glad when she left.

Her little girl charm and butter face made her hard to look at and listen to. Palin on the other hand is intelligent, manipulative and hot to boot. She is not the standard shallow journalist. But a shallow leader who at the very least has accomplished much and is stll hot!

One thing Palin is not is intelligent Half a term as governor and a miserable failure of a run for VP, she being the one thing that definitely sank her party's ticket.

Try thinking with the gray matter in your skull rather than the junk in your pants Please don't pull stunts like this. Every time I see and hear Sarah Palin I feel ashamed for my country. Do you know anyone that quit their job as governor of a State?

Our past follows us and defines who we are , have her ring that bell again and tell us the British are coming. Yeah I do! Mitt Romney!!! Highest health care costs of any state. Does anyone wonder what a great President he will make if he is elected? Will turn Bain Capital into a conglomerate. Don't you just love those millionaires?

Katie who go crawel back under the rock you came from. Loser for 5 years as an anchor loser here again. Time to retire and see if you can see Russia from your apartment. Spoken like a true conservative moron Duh of course BUT only because it was the first time. People would tune in to see Donald Duck the "first time".

Ok now her 15 minutes way to many of them is over and so is she. I left CBS because of Couric, don't like the present group any better. Once again, an idiot gains celebrity status in America and is set for life. We will be reading about Sarah Palin in one form or another for the rest of our lives. What a joke Having Sarah P turned it into a reality show and that's what people watch, sadly enough I meant to tell SP that I can see the moon from my house.

Yeah, she really is. Quits her job with actual responsiblity half way through, takes 10 years and 5 schools to get an associates degree, preaches abstinance only and then wonders how her kid gets pregnant at A true American. PS, its "Christian", but then again, sycophants aren't too big on dat der Book learnin anyway.

You stated that you didn't agree with her but thought she would beat Obama? Not the majority has your IQ, thank God! The reason she got a high rate in Today's was viewers expected she would make another big jokes.

Her next path in career will be comedian, she should talk to Fox about it. You spell like a backwards Christen. Woman is singular, and Christen is Christian. I hope our post was irony, if not you truly represent the typical education level of Palin's target audience.

I believe the word is Christian not Christen which I have trouble believing you are a believer since you believe in a liar and an anti-Christian at that. Certainly don't know how to love one's neighbor as thyself. But I love you neighbor so you can go on believing anything you want to honey. It's perfectly logical you would like her, because you can't spell Christian and, I'm sure, neither can she.

Palin beats Couric in ratings? Fox beats CNN in ratings? Just like McDonald's cheap fast food beats out higher quality food chains in sales. Hey, if Clinton didn't let some fat intern sukk his c ck, we would have had Gore for 8 yrs and now Obama for 8yrs. Could have been 24 yrs of left wing dems, if not for a stained blue dress.

Just saying You cannot be serious. Palin brought herself down. She could not answer simple questions like "What newspapers do you read". Yep, a real "gotcha question". Katie got Palin in that infamous "gotcha" moment when Katie asked the most difficult question ever Who can answer such a difficult question?

Palin didn't know that being able to read was required to be Vice President. She thought that spouting the Fox News soundbites would suffice. It truly is sad that so many people in the US actually look up to Palin. How far down does one have to be to look up to a quitter? Katie didn't bring down semi-gov Sarah, Sarah did that on her own because she was totally unprepared to answer basic questions. But Sarah was prepared to blame her unpreparedness on others.

Same old, same old. I think what most folks wanted to see was a train wreck. And I'm sure that's what they got. Palin is nothing more than a real life SNL skit.

I just wanted to see her in those heels and skirt, woman definately has the sltty librarian thing going on. Have you seen what shows top the ratings these days? Reality crap for people who can't think for themselves. Is it a wonder that palin did well? How could anyone even think of listening to anything she has to say Yep, they watch Palin for the same reason they watch the Kardashians, just to see how truly dumb humanity can get.

Dr Evil really? Obama and Biden left the senate to assume higher office, which they were elected to. How about got a promotion. Sarah on the other hand quit, no if ands or buts about it. Citing that politics had become too tough in AK since running as a vice pres candidate. Welcome to the real world chick. Or maybe it was to figure out if she was a realistic candidate for president. Well thankfully that was a reality show that never got filmed.

The only thing she can handle is very scripted dialogue that requires no free thinking. Human nature is to watch a train wreck or freak show, she is both.

Didn't waste electricity watching her. Exactly right. If Palin were to be on the Today show as a regular, as one poster below put it, it would soon become the Yesterday Show.

You've got that right! The sound of her voice is like scraping chalk on a blackboard. She has nothing worthwhile to say and is a self appointed critic in the political world. Like a plague, there's no getting rid of her! Right on. They could have just put a TV screen on the couch next to Matt Lauer with a loop of the Texas tornadoes and people would watch it. I'd watch Palin over Couric any day of the week.

Katie Couric has failed at every show she does and they just keep bouncing her from one to the other in the hopes they can eventually find a place where she doesn't such so bad. Exactly, I hadn't see her in awhile and I needed a laugh. Of course. If it was Snooki instead of Palin, you'd have the same result. Which means this has nothing to do with Couric's personality or personability. Most people tend to slow down to watch the accident.

I was just thinking, "people just want to see Palin fall on her face. I hope people keep tuning in so that they keep constantly reminded of what the GOP is capable of attempting in their quest for power.

I agree, they are only watching because most of them hate her and want to see her fall on her narcissistic face. I doubt ithe extra ratings will last more than a week, if that. Anyone notice that she snuck away for a few weeks and got a face lift last year? I'm suprised that wasn't all over the news!

Why should she when they did not do her any favors in the past. She should stick with Fox — have her own morning show or help Oprah bring in some women viewers. I bet OWN network would see a spike in viewership. I would watch it for the first time if Palin was on. And I am not even Republican, White or a morning show person I didn't bother to watch either one of those morning shows because of the guest host. Finally an intelligent adult program on in the morning, I am going to continue to watch.

Oh Lynn, you are a very nice person, aren't you. Don't let me bump into the likes of a hateful you anytime. I think Palin did great and I would watch her any time of any day. But I don't think NBC deserves to have her boost their ratings. She needs to choose her alliances carefully. Good Job Sarah Palin. All you Palin haters make me laugh. It just kills you that this down to earth woman of faith is loved by most of America. Go Sarah!!! Exactly what I was thinking — everyone knew what they would get with Couric, but the train-wreck was unpredictable and therefore "more interesting.

I think if you guys with all your stomach full of hate, if you channel that towards something meaningful and constructive, you would be so much more productive. But hate is more fun, for you, right?

People like you writing such crap is embarassing. It makes CNN. They need to get rid of this type of comments so no one is allowed to post hateful stuff for the world to read. How embarassing!!!! You said it. She's train wreck. She's too obtuse to even realize it yet there she is out in public again. Darn, beat me to it, i. And in true form she was indeed a trainwreck, going off on embarassing and non-sensical tangents continuously throughout the show.

I think she got trolled by Couric again and Couric wasn't even there. Palin is just pure entertainment like who in there right mind would take her serious? It's like watching wwe wrestling. You got that one right! More relevant would be if they gave Palin and Couric the jobs for a year, what would happen to the ratings? Palin didn't do so well with her "Sarah Palin's Alaska.

You make a very good point about Katie Couric. I agree no one should watch that hag! Why is she a "train wreck and a "freak"? I'm not a fan of hers for many reasons, but I don't see her as either. Seems to me you're just resorting to name calling and band-wagoning. Hey, you might be watching the next VP Nominee Palin TV always presents junk for ratings — They did it again — Not worth watching I am sure I did not miss anything!

Bill You Betcha'!!!! Devosays it is fun to watch the hate and intellect of the liberal mind, it is hilarious that you people spend so much of your time and energy hating someone as unimportant as Palin, she loves it when you think of her Jeanne After reading a review of yesterday's show I am sorry I didn't watch it to once again see SP make a fool of herself.

Not the point Actually, Katie is bringing in more viewers than Sarah, compared to the rest of the season — it's just that GMA typically trails Today by a larger number. Lauer has said that he never assaulted anyone or forced anyone to have sex.

Out of Couric's 15 years on the morning news show, she spent nine years co-anchoring alongside Lauer.

On Monday, she shared her view of the story on "The View. She said that while "there were a lot of whispers about a lot of people" and that was "part of the ether," Couric added it wasn't in her "world" because she was caring for her first husband Jay Monahan -- who died of colon cancer in -- and two children.

When allegations came out against her former co-anchor in , she told "The View" that it was "stunning" and "crushingly disappointing" to hear the news. While writing her memoir, Couric was told by Stanford University sociologist and gender studies professor Marianne Cooper that permissive environments could give way to more severe transgressions.

Couric said that often times "there was a permissive environment" in workplaces during the '90s. Though Couric says she was never directly approached by anyone about Lauer's alleged misconduct at the time, she said there's been "many times" she's helped or advised women who were in "uncomfortable situations" and "gone to bat for them," and said she "would have done the same thing" had she known about the sexual assault allegations against Lauer while working on the "Today" show.
