Katie Couric will return 30 Rockefeller Plaza next month to serve as guest co-anchor NBC’s Today. She’ll be back the week of Jan. 2, according to the Los Angeles Times, to help fill in for Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, who’s been on maternity leave since Dec. 2. As side note Guthrie just signed an extension to remain at Today.
Couric co-hosted Today from 1991 to 2006, pairing with Matt Lauer to lead the top-rated morning show on TV. This guest stint will pair her once again with Lauer.
After leaving NBC in 2006, Couric went to CBS to anchor the CBS Evening News, then hopped to ABC and hosted a short-lived daytime talk show, Katie. She’s currently the global anchor of Yahoo News.
