NBC Attempts To Lure An Over-Emotional Couric Back To Where It All Began

Every now and again, there's nothing quite like a good old-fashioned blast from the past. Whether it's a 3am phone call from an old "boyfriend," a perusal through the college photo album (awwww, we were so cute, pre-freshman fifteen!) or a Beverly Hills 90210 marathon, sometimes it's nice to simply take a moment or two to enjoy a leisurely stroll down Memory Lane.

And it turns out, we're not the only ones feeling nostalgic these days! As Page Six reports, it appears NBC has recently been suffering from Katie Couric withdrawal.

NBC must miss Katie Couric. A promo for the "Today" show that aired during WNBC's 11 p.m. news Monday night showed her but neither Matt Lauer nor Couric's replacement, Meredith Vieira. Couric, who left to anchor the "CBS Evening News" last September, was shown seated behind the "Today" desk with the slogan, "America Watches Today First," flashing on the screen. Reps for NBC did not return our calls.

Unfortunately for both parties, the image of Katie Couric hosting Today is, as lyricist Hilary Duff would say, "So yesterday." On the other hand, nothing says "tomorrow" quite like a recurring gig on 60 Minutes.*

*Except for maybe watching your ex, rock star (of sorts) Joel Madden have a possibly-deformed baby with his rexy new squeeze, Nicole Richie.
