On Monday in an effort to see how many people are actually watching Katie Couric (not) deliver the evening news, CBS decided to air 87 seconds of Katie standing in front of her desk and then ended the show a few minutes early. CBS says it was a technical glitch, but we have to wonder if it wasn’t a marketing ploy to get people to watch future episodes in hopes of catching a similar mishap.
For a brief time the video was up on YouTube before being yanked, but we’re sure that it will surface again somewhere. (If you know where we can view this, please contact us — but no links in comments please as we’re not fond of corporate harassment.)
