Plastic Girl

Katie Needs Help
NewBusters reports (I didn't watch) that Katie is asking for your help:

"All summer long, people have been asking me, How will you sign off at the end of your broadcast? I've racked my brain and so far, nothing has felt right."

After a segment of past anchors' sign-offs, she asked for viewer help.

"If you have a bright idea for a great sign-off, log on to our website at CBSNews.com and tell me. I know we'll have a lot of fun reading them, and who knows, maybe one will actually stick."

Got some suggestions for Couric? Post them here or use the link if you want to send them to CBS.

Here the three best NewsBuster reader offerings ... and a sorry lot they are.

  • "And I'm Katie Couric and if I could I'd cuddle with each and every one you. Good night, America."
  • "And that's our colonoscopy on the world. I'm Katie Couric, good night."
  • "I’m Katie Couric, and I shoot to wound."

I know we can do better.

"I'm Katie Couric and this has been our take on the news."

She could steal the best sign off ever from Red Skelton:

"I'm Katie Couric, good night and may God bless."

ha, I knew I couldn't suggest that that one with a straight face.

"I'm Katie Couric, the Fox News counterpoint."

"Thank you and good night and if you can't sleep, its all Bush's fault"

"I'm Katie Couric and I'll be perky again once that bastard George Bush is dead."

"I'm Katie Cronkite, err I'm Dan Couric, Oh Hell, I'm the Perky one damn-it!"

How about:
1. And that's the news.... the way we want you to hear it!

or

2. I'm Katie Couric...does this new set make my ass look big?

or even.....

3. And that's the news.... we're unfair, and biased, but we're perky!

"America Sucks... So do you"

"I am better than you... and Vote for Hillary Rodham"

"Better Burkhas for Your Tommorrow..."

"That's the slant, time to pass out the cigars, Bill and Monica..."

I heard a vignette recently about how when Dan Rather debuted on CBS several years ago, he received the same wall-to-wall hype beforehand. The next night, ratings leader Huntlry-Brinkley Report (NBC) opened the show with, "Welcome back." They knew it would be a short lived moment.
