Katie Couric’s deal with ABC starts on August 1. Two days later, she will be on the network’s air as a guest co-host on ABC’s daytime talk show The View, ABC just announced. That will get Couric on daytime viewers’ radar right away, well ahead of the fall 2012 launch of her syndicated daytime talk show for ABC. In addition to prepping that, under her deal, Couric is slated to contribute to all ABC News programs, including newsmagazine 20/20, Good Morning America and World News with Diane Sawyer.

I was hoping that if Barbara Walters retires Kate would on “The View” full time..
Another left-wing media hag placed on “The View.” If Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham, Michelle Malkin, Star Parker or Jeri Thompson joined Elisabeth Hasselbeck, I might watch.
Second post in, a right-wing harangue. Tired and predictable. But then again, that’s what makes you a conservative.
@AaronSch… Maybe if “The View” were on Fox, your dreams would come true. Please accept this box of Rice-a-Roni with my compliments.
Maybe now Barbara will faaaaaaade away! Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!!!!
Finally, the perfect venue for Miss Perpetually Perky!
Makes sense…let ABC audience get familiar with Katie as she was forgotten on CBS news.
For me personally, having to guest host The View is just slightly above dying and going to hell.
I can’t think of a better place for the launch of another vacuous, rambling personality to begin a career with a vacuous talk show than the show, which from my “view” point, epitomizes how bad and annoying this type of programming can be.
Wow – that is really really really sad and pathetic. I could care less about Katie Couric but even I know she is better than a co-host stint on that trash called The View.
Another raging leftie to add to the panel! She and Joy can laugh at one another.
For the life of me I don’t understand why she has such a following…. Who?
She was WAY overpaid at CBS and failed miserably. Why do people still throw money at her?
Will she replace someone from already on the show?
