4. I can't believe NBC isn't kicking themselves for over paying her.

It pretty much proves that a monkey could host the show and people would tune in.

6. I can't stand to watch Matt Lauer, either.

Funny because I like Diane Sawyer and Charlie Gibson.

7. CBS is probably wondering about their decision, too.

I know I would be. 10 million dollars for her?

What happens if she is a dud? Do they just cancel the contract? Or do they have to pay her?

9. Katie Couric is a twit. Just another reason to watch Lehrer PBS

But hey, I don't have to watch any of that, because I am not in the US anymore!
