Couric Appearing On Thur. Evening News

Yesterday’s NY Daily News hinted at it, and today’s Philadelphia Inquirer confirms: “New CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric will pop up tonight on Bob Schieffer‘s last broadcast as ‘interim’ anchor.

Couric will appear in the last segment on the as-yet unseen spiffy new newsroom and will do a tribute piece on Schieffer.

Will Schieffer pass a baton to his successor? ‘I don’t have a baton,’ he says, ‘but I’m sure we’ll exchange pleasantries.’”
