These Women Are Really Caking

If you care about news and journalists, then you probably know that Katie Couric is preparing a move from the Today show on NBC to CBS' evening news. Announcing the move this morning, Couric will become the first woman to be solo anchor of an evening network news program. Meanwhile, NBC is preparing to replace Couric with Meredith Vieira from the The View. The deal between NBC and Vieira is expected to be for four years at $10 million a year.

Random Observation #1: Dang! I didn't know Today show hosts were caking like that. Where have I been? And why didn't I start interning at my local news channel yesterday? Yes, I know that these women put in many years to get to the point where they are pulling down millions. But that's my point exactly. I'd gladly take an unpaid internship today for $10 million/year tomorrow. I'm floored. But then maybe noone else is. I admit I'm not really a guru on the average salary of a national news person.

Random Observation #2: Doesn't Vieira favor (resemble) Couric? From the blonde hair to the cheek bones, its a little creepy. What does NBC think: if they replace one blonde with another that no Today show watcher will know the difference? Check out the pics above.
