  1. I watched the entire episode of katie couric on oct,3 just to see the longisland medium and they didnt show her. why? I never left the tv. so I know that i didnt miss her spot. I was very disapointed.Did they cut her out of the show? If so why? They should have cut the gold miners,that segment was VERY boring. I hope you have Teresa on the show again. I’ll be watching for it.

  2. I’ve been enjoying Katie Couric’s talk show so far! I’m glad that it has taken off. I especially enjoyed yesterday’s hair themed episode where she wore gray, I thought it fit her well. I enjoyed seeing Wendy Williams on this episode and anticipate some of the other guests mentioned, especially Barbara Streisand and Demi Lovato. This show has given me and my DISH coworkers plenty to talk about at work. Luckily I recorded it on my Hopper, because when I played back I was able to start watching on my living room TV and then continue watching on any TV in my house right where I left off.
