Here's more behind the scenes footage of Katie Couric - VIDEO

by Bob Sassone, posted Jan 15th 2008 1:05PM

CouricI've always liked Harry Shearer and the behind the scenes video and audio he has collected over the years. But I have to be honest and say I'm not quite sure what we're supposed to get from these videos of Katie Couric before and after her newscasts. I think we're supposed to giggle at how she acts or be surprised at the "real" Katie or maybe think less of her or something?

I actually think more of her after viewing these, because she seems real, she's funny, and she seems to get along well with her coworkers, something that people said she didn't do. So, I think they work more for Katie than against her, though she probably wouldn't want her mom watching her say "Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit."

After the jump, the latest video, from CBS News coverage of the NH Primary (and here's part one if you missed it.)

I agree. I have no doubt there'd be light moments, maybe of a different sort, on the sets of just about every other newscast. Katie being a potty mouth is not only humanizing but maybe just a touch sexy (so's the low voice she does). So I'm really not sure what the point is with this.

So what's the point of this? She seemed fine to me -- just trying to be prepared as possible.

She's just seems like someone who's trying to be as prepared as she can. You can't fault her for that. She's not hiding the fact that she doesn't have much election coverage. She's asking for help and coming off as very human...maybe too human? I see no diva-like attitudes. What was Shearer trying to prove? ...that she likes a big-ass mug of coffee?

She comes across as a 20 year old intern.
