She recently announced that she?ll be leaving her anchor gig at ?CBS Evening News,? and Katie Couric's successor has already been chosen.
According to FOX News, CBS News Chairman Jeff Fager has hand selected Scott Pelley to take over when Couric flies the coup.
As for Katie, she?s said to be planning a new syndicated talk show, though nothing is official just yet.
When asked about the poor ratings of ?CBS Evening News? she explained, "I believe we were in third place for 13 years before I got here. And I think habits, particularly with an evening news broadcast, move at a glacial pace. And I think that local news stations have something to do with it."

On the coattails of her announcement to leave CBS, Katie Couric was spotted heading into the network's studios in New York City on Monday (April 4).
The evening news anchor hopped out of a chauffeured vehicle sporting a fresh face with no makeup as she was escorted inside to tend to work duties.
Now that she?s made the decision to not renew her contract with ?CBS Evening News? once it expires in June, Couric admitted that she has been discussing a syndicated talk show with former boss Jeff Zucker.
?We talk a lot and, yes, we?ve been discussing the possibilities,? Katie told press this morning.

Katie Couric was invited to give the annual Class Day address at Princeton University for some reason this year. Even though I know Katie’s accomplishments make her a great candidate for that kind of honor, she?s not a Princeton alumni (she graduated from UVA), so I don?t really get it. Anyway, in her speech, Katie made a couple of interesting references. She quoted Martha Stewart (?It?s a good thing?) and name-dropped First Lady Michelle Obama, who actually is a Princeton alum. Katie also made some self-deprecating jokes about her cougar-hood, but I didn?t find that particularly interesting. The part that most people will notice is that Katie made a sideswipe at Gov. Sarah Palin, saying “Coming here was a real no brainer! After all, I can see New Jersey from my house!” Zing.
Katie Couric poked fun at her “cougar” label while giving the annual Class Day address at Princeton University on Monday.
“I’ve been called a cougar lately … but today … I’m very happy to be an honorary Tiger instead!” Couric, 52, said, referring to the school’s mascot. (Her boyfriend, entrepreneur Brooks Perlin, was 33 when they began dating in 2007.)
She then made a subtle dig at Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, whom she interviewed last year: “Coming here was a real no brainer! After all, I can see New Jersey from my house!”
Kidding aside, Couric told the crowd, “As you head out into this daunting job market, at least you have many illustrious alumni lighting the way.”
She cited Michele Obama as an example: “She was class of 1985, and now she’s wowing them in Washington.”
Couric continued, “There are a few noteworthy men who were proud to go to Princeton as well…a list that reads like a who’s who of American History. James Madison, John Foster Dulles, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Malcolm Forbes, James Baker….and Lyle Menendez, who’s currently serving a life sentence at the Mule Creek State Prison in California. Hey, you can’t win ‘em all!”
“Don’t be a hater,” Couric later added. “Princeton has taught you to think critically, to approach things with a healthy dose of skepticism … and that’s a good thing, as Martha Stewart would say. … Rise above the collegial nastiness and instead celebrate excellence.”

I hope people don?t get too worked up over this. It was just a gentle joke that seemed like a Saturday Night Live castoff from eight months ago. And Sarah Palin already singled out Katie as one of the people she blames for her election loss and fraught media image, saying several months ago, ?In those Katie Couric interviews, I did feel that there were a lot of things that she was missing, in terms of an opportunity to ask what a VP candidate stands for, what the values are represented in our ticket.? Let the catfight continue!
