And as I mentioned, there was overt talk about this in Katie Couric's autobiography. Like in her autobiography, she openly describes the sort of bizarre relationship between Katie Couric and Jeff Zucker.

Quote, It was a little weird with The Today Show. I just kind of came on and people responded. Here there was product testing. It didn't feel organic. She's talking about when she was given nightly news. At a certain point, Jeff made a huge push to bring on Alison Gallist.

And then she continues that when Jeff Zucker got fired, she says that Jeff Zucker got fired and then Zucker asked Couric to call up Jeff Bukes, who is the CEO of Time Warner, and put in a good word at CNN.

Apparently, Zucker said to Katie Couric, this is my last chance to have a big job like this. And of course, if you want it, there will be a job for you, too.
