Help Katie come up with a nightly sign-off. |
|
Hey, they asked for it. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/09/05/eveningnews/main1967335.shtmlMine: How about "Navy Seals Rock!" whilst waving red, white and blue pom poms and flashing those great legs?
If my idea wins, please email me. I won't know because I'm never watching CBS Evening News ever again.

3. Does she have a "see through" desk like Mary Hart? Cause otherwise |
|
Edited on Tue Sep-05-06 07:25 PM by applegrove
no point in mentioning the "gams'. Nobody every talked about the perfect triangle that was the torso of the male anchors.... Wait a second.. I did!
We do like our news to be the "full package".
Sad but true!
She could say "And that is the way I'd like it to be".

7. Oh, they added a special little chat segment around a coffee table |
|
just so she could show a little leg. Natch. They could have her standing for the end of the newscast. That's all the rage at some of our local stations. (Distracting as all get-out, too.)

37. I don't think it would be appropriate to show Katie Couric's... |
|
..."perfect triangle", even if it does bring in the ratings. Well, not until sweeps month that is.

swirling her pencil on a piece of paper on her desk and saying "That's the news and I am outta here." No, wait, I think that's been done.
How about, "This has been the CBS Eveneing News. I'm Katie Couric. Peace out, dawgs!"
Or, "I'm Katie Couric. Impeach Bush!"
Or, "I'm Katie Couric, and here's hoping you can sleep on a big pile of money like I do!"

Good night and good luck. No, that was Murrow's.
And that's the way it is . . . No, that one belonged to Cronkite.
Good night, Chet. Good night, David, and good night for NBC News. No, that's the wrong network anyway.
Let me think about this one. This might be hard.
