In the least climactic announcement on a day that's already included Oscars news and a replacement for the Aflac duck, Katie Couric has confirmed the months and months of rumors that she will leave her post at the CBS Evening News after only five years of service. Couric took the job after leaving NBC’s Today show amid much fanfare, becoming the first solo female anchor in a landscape where audiences were inured to entrusting testicles with the events of the day. Unfortunately, despite Couric’s smiley, leggy charm, her ratings continued to plummet throughout her tenure, and it’s now rumored that CBS will replace her with 60 Minutes reporter Scott Pelley, whose more staid, traditional style is said to be a better fit for the older audience that still tends to watch the nightly network news.
