Schieffer commentary planned for Couric cast
Even when Katie Couric takes over the "CBS Evening News" in the fall, current anchor Bob Schieffer will likely stick around for some cameo appearances on the reformatted broadcast. Schieffer, who has garnered lots of praise pinch-hitting for Dan Rather for the past year, has reportedly been offered a twice-a-week commentary slot on the Couric "Evening News," but he has yet to accept the new role. Schieffer, who also does a commentary on his Sunday political talk show "Face the Nation," told the Philadelphia Inquirer he is not sure if he is up to writing three a week. However, he said he is excited that the newscast is becoming more competitive in the ratings and wants to help out. "With all the excitement that Katie has created by coming over here, it really has rekindled some of my competitive juices," he told the Associated Press. "I think it would be fun to be part of this." Commentaries have not been a regular feature of any network newscast for more than a decade. Posted by ECTVN on 4/19/2006 -
