I really wish the TODAY show would get rid of annoying to the point of embarassment, Ann Curry and her fake laugh that is so offensive. Al roker I can not even stand to look at that n*gger, let alone listen to anything coming out of his ugly unfunny mouth.When I occasionaly tune in to this show I will either mute them or end up changing the channel.

Katie isn't simply reading. She's giving up all rights to a private, "normal" life. She has to pay security to deal with psychotic stalkers wanting to harm her and relentless photographers wanting to capture her most embarrassing moments; she has to deal with lies and criticism by unethical, ignominious gossip magazines and the half-wits that read them, the subjects having nothing to do with her anchor position. Everything she does and says is scrutinized by judgmental morons, and that's just the start of what she has to endure in exchange for that limousine and life of luxury. I personally enjoy my privacy and sanity, so I'll keep the $80 grand for my position as a court reporter and in return keep my sanity. I wouldn't mind the limousine though.

$ 15,000,000.00 she should be naked doing the news for that kind of money,and then take back $14,999,999.00, what warrants a paycheck like this?
she reads everything from a prompt!

I had no clue anchors made salaries in the millions. The Occupational Job Books at the libraries must be
prehistoric. How do the networks justify these exorbitant salaries for such a short period of camera
time each day? I also agree that salaries for "movie stars" are ridiculous. It's not surprising it cost so many millions of dollars to get a movie out there...it's all about the salaries.

I would do Katie's job for $1,000.000.00 the first year with a conservative 5% increase each year thereafter. It would take decades to get up to $15 million.
Are you listening CBS????

I agree with most of the above people that Charlie Gibson is the best news anchor. I used to watch Brian Williams before Charlie was promoted. I never watch Katie. She is not in the right job for her talents. I don't understand how CBS cannot see that. Charlie, you can give the raise you didn't want to Charity, or to some teachers who do need a raise in salaries. I am not a teacher by the way.

$15 Million... Is that the going price now for Integrity and honesty these days?, some one is getting ripped off and it isn't the Networth.

I know news anchors are paid a lot of money, but no one takes into consideration that when they do start their career, they travel from City to City no matter what state the news is in. They don't have those outrageous salary and they most times are forced to move to another state away from their family just to get a better salary. Everyone just looks at the end result when 20 years later they are making millions.

I think Charlie Gibson and Diane Sawyer both deserve their salaries. I have never seen either of these people be "pompous" or arrogant. I am a registered nurse, I work the night shift in a nursing home, taking care of elderly alzheimers patients. Of course I am paid well for what I do, but I am not a celebrity. I tape Charlie and Good Morning America when I'm working. I admire both of these people as journalists.

Yes celebs, anchors, and generaly speaking all persons in the public eye are overpaid. But will those of you who are so negative about Katie just leave her alone. Of course CBS had to offer big bucks to get her off and away from the Today Show. She is a doll and lets not forget is 50 now !!!!!!! I DID enjoy her more on the Today Show but my loss is her gain. Good for you Katie and just do your BEST
