Posted: 12/16/04 at 8:31amIn a marketing move, JLT appears on the Today Show to promote 'Wicked' and have Katie Couric do a walk-on as Glinda during 'Wicked' Date TBD. Do you think it will actually happen?

Posted: 12/16/04 at 8:56amI'd have to pull for Kelly Ripa.... although Star Jones seems WAY to into that role. (That halloween special... JLT and her.... couldn't tell them apart)

Posted: 12/16/04 at 12:51pmI'd rather slit my wrists than see her. I HATE her almost as much as Kathie Lee!

Posted: 12/16/04 at 1:44pmKatie Couric is so fake and sickenly sweet--perfect for this role! (At least in Act 1) She can't sing, though.

Posted: 12/16/04 at 2:32pmperhaps they'll just stick her in for something like the end of dancing through life, so she doesn't have to sing

Posted: 12/16/04 at 2:58pmNo, they said she was going to be stepping in and singing Popular. I mean, thats a wonderful idea, its only Jen's moment to truly shine in the show...

ugh katie couric drives me nuts...
i would be PISSED if i paid to see wicked and all of a sudden katie couric came out to replace a lead for one song.
ugh. but i did see JLT on the Today show this morning and katie couric was annoying as hell saying "do the laugh you do in POPULAR when you say 'dont make me laugh PLEASE' " it was horrible ...JLT did a little giggle and KT was not satisfied. she made her do it again.

Posted: 12/16/04 at 3:55pmI like the death stare she gave to Matt Lauer after he called her a bithc...that was priceless.

Posted: 12/16/04 at 4:49pmI hope you're kidding--she has so tiresome and annoying over the years--and I know several people who live in her building who can attest to what a miserable person she is.
#23re: Katie Couric as Glinda
Posted: 12/16/04 at 5:35pmI would like to see Katie do a SMALL walk on role...kinda like what Merideth Viera (the view) did when she was in TMM.

This is the Broadway production of Wicked, not Deaf West's.
