NEW YORK - With co-host Matt Lauer bringing the tissues, the "Today" show threw a going-away party Wednesday for 15-year host Katie Couric, who is leaving to become the next anchor of the "CBS Evening News."
"I'm feeling happy and sad and completely out of control," Couric said, "and you know how much I like that."
Forty-two minutes into the show, Couric couldn't hold back the tears any longer.
The first tear was spotted in the corner of her eye as "Today" talked to six people she had interviewed — an inspiring school principal, a woman brutally raped in Central Park, survivors of the Columbine school shooting and the World Trade Center bombing and parents of a boy who had died of brain cancer.
"In meeting her and talking to her, I felt that it helped heal me as well," said Lauren Manning, who was burned during the terrorist attack.
One word.. insipid.
