Katie Couric hasn’t been on NBC since she left the Today Show in 2006, but there’s a rumor that she wants to return to the peacock. She reportedly sees the Brian Williams scandal as her shot to rejoin the network.
A source told the New York Daily News that she still has “deep, deep contacts” and NBC and “would love” to take over NBC Nightly News. The source essentially called Couric a “shark” who is “ruthless.”
However, the Daily News spoke to another source who called the idea complete bunk.
Couric also confirmed that the rumor isn’t true on Twitter. “Been out of pocket - any rumors about me and NBC completely untrue. Wishing my friends at my former home the best during this tough time,” she wrote.
Couric is currently working at Yahoo, following the cancellation of her ABC daytime talk show Katie.
As for Williams, he’s had to take a leave of absence from the Nightly News desk and he cancelled a Late Show with David Letterman appearance. He’s being investigated by NBC News for his fabricated Iraq War story.
