    Katie may not be as successful as Oprah, but she does, whatever you think of this format, seem immediately comfortable in it, cracking unguarded jokes but also owning her celebrity.

    One hopes, [Katie is] bringing us deeper and more interesting topics than first guest Jessica Simpson's current preference for chocolate over chips or tips for losing her baby weight.... Couric retains an ability to connect with the people she interviews; to seem constantly intrigued and engaged.

    Mostly, Couric seems exceptionally eager to please, perhaps too much so.

    All well and good, up to a point, and that point was when the relatively pleasant but not especially revealing interview morphed into an infomercial for Weight Watchers.

    Katie came off as likeable, which counts for a lot in daytime. The show just didn't have a lot of content, somewhat like the stage that often felt too big for her.

    If Couric was the best and brightest candidate to replace Oprah, things are not looking good, America.
