2006 has been a year of many goodbyes so far. The West Wing, Will & Grace, and more. Today on Today is Katie Couric's last day, and I made sure to clear my schedule to watch her. You see, 15 years ago I tuned in on her first day, a stand-in role when Deborah Norville was on holiday. Cutey Katie was such a hit so quickly that Deborah ended up on permanent vacation.

So I am about to catch the second showing of Today on a west coast station. If you didn't see the show, don't worry. Entertainment Weekly has blogged it.

Tomorrow I may come back and make some comments on Meredith Vieira's first day. [Note: I just learned that Meredith doesn't start until after the summer hiatus. I'm an idiot.]
