Former ‘Today’ host Katie Couric is now reportedly in danger of losing her potential job as the host of Jeopardy after making unhinged comments about the GOP and Trump supporters during an appearance on ‘Real Time with Bill Mahr.’

After blasting pro-Trump members of Congress Couric turned her ire on Trump supporters themselves, saying that they might need to be ‘deprogrammed’ presumably by liberals wielding punitive and tyrannical authority.

As Fox News reports:

“Jeopardy!” producers are reportedly concerned about Katie Couric‘s controversial comments bashing the Republican Party ahead of her planned guest-hosting duties on the long-running game show…

Page Six reports that, according to a source, the “Jeopardy” audience is “very conservative” and the game show had “always steered clear of politics.”

“Katie’s comments so soon after she was announced as a host are very concerning to the producers. They are worried there will be a backlash against her. There has already been some complaints,” the source told Page Six.

“Jeopardy viewers are quite a traditional bunch, and there’s fears she might be too polarizing after this. At the very least, she already appears to have ruled herself out of becoming the permanent host of the show,” the source continued.

 




Comments

  1. Katie Couric, when she was on the today show used to be one of my favorite people. no more. Now she is a nobody to me. she needs to go back under the rock she just came out from under.

      1. I will not be watching if she is the host even fir a short time. I never cared for her before and even less since she thinks I need to be deprogrammed. I absolutely love jeopardy and will miss it , but I can’t watch a person like her. Alex never got involved in politics so I never knew his thoughts. She is too opinionated. Ken Jennings has done a great job and I have missed Alex but he is so smart he is a lot like Alex.

      1. I will stop watching Jeopardy if she is even a “guest” host. To suggest I need “reprogramming “ because I’m a conservative is insulting and threatening. The very idea stinks of socialism!😡

        1. ABSOLUTELY! TRUMP SUPPORTERS DO NOT NEED REPROGRAMMING, IT IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT THINK YOU HAVE SUPPORTERS! PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE IGNORANT, ARROGANT, MORONS! GO HAVE YOUR BRAIN REPROGRAMMED!

        1. The better question is who do any of them think they are. Socialists in Democratic clothing. We haven’t had a real Democrat in the party since they killed JFK.

    1. Who does she think she is to criticize hard working people who can think for themselves and make their own choices. I won’t watch anything that she is associated with at all. She is sucking up to the lefties.

      1. I agree. why anyone thinks that they are superior and has to program another person is the one who has the real sick program
        there is a reason why most honest hard working law abiding found some of the President’s views justified

        1. Socialists hate and fear the middle class because they are the only class that will rise up and take back their freedom.

      2. A leftie is exact what Couric is! Very surprised that She was ever considered for the position!! Alex must be frowning!

      3. Your comment is exactly why Democrats fear and loath Republicans. We think for ourselves, Democrats jut follow the ass in front of them.

    2. She is right up there with The View peeps, Joy and Whoopi! How about we deprogram her ilk with their far left agendas! If she hosts Jeopardy, I will not watch the show and it has always been my favorite game show.

      1. Beverley you might really be on to something there. Why don’t we all say that about them let’s deprogram her and her views.

    3. My buddy’s sister makes usd sixty one /hr at the pc . She has been with out paintings for six months but ultimate month her income became usd12945 just working at the laptop for a few hours. Hop over to this web-web page…xurl.es/30ube
      please don’t copy”Ⓡ­” In Url Thanks

  2. Will be happy to see her go. She is in love with herself. She never impressed me one bit. And her husband is a jerk too.

    1. Whar does she really know? Nothing. She has no idea what it is to loose a job to a Illegal and live on pennies. She has millions lives very well which is fine. Her job never went to Mexico or China and she never went to go Groceries and had to stand in line for hours. She is a snob, arrogant smug. Sick of her and all of them from those morning shows . I would like for all of them to live on at least $30,000. a year.

        1. Just having her as a Guest Host on Jeopardy tells me that the Show’s Producer is out of touch with reality.

          1. I have have never liked her, but have always watched Jeopardy. I will not watch Jeopardy if she is hosting it!

      1. I would love to see them live on 20,000..a year. There is no way they could. All us retirees have to or get evicted. We have our place paid for though so that’s one bill we don’t have.

    2. Katie Couric, who do you think you are ? Look at yourself in the mirror before you maligned others!
      You be surprised how much more of an imbecile you are!

  3. This person is the same who LIED in her expose about gun control when she strategically edited video to make it seem as though gun enthusiasts were dumbfounded when Couric asked them a question about background checks even though every person present had an articulate, thoughtful response to her question. She thought she had gotten away with the lie until the people produced a recording of the ACTUAL conversation. This shows what contempt she has for people she believes are below her economically and intellectually. That’s the problem with the left-they believe they are better than everyone who doesn’t have the same views of the world as they do. Rather than “live and let live”, they believe in “live and everyone else must conform or be destroyed.”

  4. All the vicious, hateful, attacks are coming from the left against Conservatives and supporters of President Trump. These radical left winged haters like Couric should be admonished and sued for their slander and libel.

  5. Couric should be “deprogrammed” herself. She should not be allowed on ANY “Programs”…PERIOD!

  6. Left Winger nutjobs like Katie Couric forget that over 74M people voted for President Trump and make up at least 1/2 of this country. We all have our own intellect and do not have to be ‘deprogrammed’ as she says because our opinion is just as valid (if not more so) than hers. She should not be put in any position like this and should just fade away with her millions of dollars…who cares what she thinks??

  7. Please get rid of Katie Couric!!!! My favorite show on network TV is Jeopardy and I refuse to watch it if KC hosts it even for one day!!!!!!!

  8. The characters that are discussing what has happened on Jan 6th are missing some key points in which have been developed which information that our Corrupt FBI and other agencies have not been providing to the public. There were Antifa members involved, planning was taking place on the Telecom Industries sites which should have been found if they cared. Preparation for protection of the Capital was ?. What happened? The problems started way before any individuals from the Trump Rally could even get there. I do not believe that it was not a put up deal to attempt to look for something to blame Trump and Impeach Trump so he could not run in 2024. They are a day late and a dollar short.
    I also feel sorry for all the female athletes who have to participate against male which are typically built by genetics to be stronger than females. The end of the famine sports.

  9. I always appreciated you for overcoming life struggles you were presented. I’m now not understanding how you have become so judgmental about Trump supporters. Sad that you have such a “better than thou” attitude. Guess your white privilege has led you to think that all white people share your good fortune. Had you not lost sight of reality, you would understand that not all of us white people have such privilege. We attained what we have (however meager – compared to your wealth) through education & hard work. Along with our success came a pride that such disrespect that you fished out to us will not be erased!

  10. We will not watch the shows that she is hosting based on her attitude and comments.

  11. I remember when she was a rising star on Washington DC’s NBC Channel 4. I knew she could really be someone. Then she went to NYC and then the indoctrination started. Now she’s just nuts.
    She should never be the host of Jeopardy. In fact I don’t think she should be on the air in any capacity anymore.

  12. Never a fan of her’s but she is exactly what today show is about, that’s why that show is banned in my house
    Along with cbs, abc. She has no business doing jeopardy, she hasn’t the class or intelligence of Alex Trebek, she would be an insult to him.

  13. She isca libtard demorat and many of us won’t watch jeopardy if she is part of it. Already missed last week because of her.

  14. It is amazing how media “stars” think that they are imbued with superior intellect and have the right to criticize other’s viewpoints when they have not be asked to do so. Katie Couric is not in a league to represent a show whose host was in an league that she could never reach. Politics have no place in entertainment! Nor does Katie Couric!

  15. She Needs to Loose Here Job and be Cancelled in everything. There are 75 Million of us that voted for Trump or his policies. CANCEL HER and BOYCOTT “Jeopardy” and their Advertisers.

  16. Not a fan of hers,so I really don’t care but that would be serendipitous to see Katie lose out.But as it goes the left always comes out smiling.Double standard again.

  17. Very smart of the Jeopardy brass to be concerned about her. Ours is one household that definitely be off the fan list

  18. Really…..you think the show would have researched their would be hosts a little better. That women and so many other in front of the camera people are CRAZY. Krazy Katie is.

  19. She is definitely a loser! Never waste my time listening to her. The way I feel now I hope she loses her job. We do not need her kind.

  20. If Couric is a temp / perm Jeopardy host I (and a lot of people I know) will stop watching it. She is a loser and her Trump supporter comment was uncalled for.

    1. Jeopardy supports her comments, do you hear them apologizing to Trump supporters? Nope, not to offend a liberal. Boycott until you get the apology.

  21. She is a Nazi that actually needs deprogramming herself. Katie always tell the truth, not what ego driven liars do

  22. She was doing a show on gun control and deleted comments by some people on the show who were gun control opponents. Ever since then, I have no respect for her or journalism. This incident also raises the question -how many journalist have done, or doing, the same thing?

  23. They boycott us, we boycott them twice, we bring a gun when they bring a knife. The left can be sent to a Uighur re-education camps run by their ChiCom friends.

  24. Jeopardy is going to be another victim of leftist stupidity their advertisers won’t like this big mouth fool insulting more that half of the country including their customers.

  25. One way to commit suicide by ABC is to hire blind bigots like Kouric to host what used to be a nonpolitical, interesting, and entertaining show like ‘Jeopardy’. This creature is not even mentally or intellectually fit to carry the former host’s shoes, let alone the show for an intelligent audience. Cutting the last tie with ABC, american bullsh*t company.

  26. She is part of the leftist cabal of MSM. So let them eat thoer own. She deserved the consequences of her vile rant.

  27. No Couric for me! Use her if you want but expect about a 50 percent decline in viewership. Or, you can try to jam this obsessed liberal down our throats and find out who is correct.

  28. I know if she hosts I will not be watching. I cannot tolerate the woman. Haven’t liked her for quite sometime and yes I am a conservative and proud of it!

  29. I emailed jeopardy to register a complaint. It’s easy to do- just go onto jeopardy.com and there’s a form to send an email! The more people complain the better!!!

  30. Jeopardy is not a political show, nor should it ever be one. Sorry, Katie, but you aren’t the one to take Alex Trebek’s place. Go home and continue to hate on your own,

  31. I’ve watched my last Jeopardy show. Katie burned her bridge and hopefully, her days of anything are over

  32. I’m very disappointed in Katie’s comment at a time when our country is so divided. It was such an insulting comment to make against 74 million people that voted for President Trump. I don’t understand why a television announcer would think they are qualified to analyze people in this manner. I strongly disagree with the choice of her for Jeopardy. The host for all these years was a true gentleman who made everyone feel comfortable and equal. Katie does not qualify.

    1. I have watched Jeopardy for many years and love to relax at the end of the day and watch Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Please, please do not put her on Jeopardy. You will lose your evening audience, and that would be a shame after all these years with Alex Trebek He had such class! Look longer and find somebody more suited to your audience who doesn’t spout out her politics!

  33. As much as I had liked Alex and Jeopardy for years, I stopped watching Jeopardy a 2-3 years ago as the answers/questions got more and more liberal oriented prior to when I stopped. And now this, couric is nothing but a shill for the liberals, and now going to guest host the program – that is ridiculous.

  34. Jeopardy had always been a comfortable program for my wife and I to relax and chuckle.
    if Katie is the host we will focus more on Discovery Plus and assume that the 76M who allegedly voted for President Biden will just be thrilled.

  35. If Katie Couric joins Jeopardy, my favorite program, I will stop watching it, along with all my family and friends. I used to like her when she was in the Today show, but she is disgusting now.

  36. Katie Couric could never take Alex Trebek’s place. If she were to be named the host I would never watch it again. She does not have the demeanor to be the host; she also would not have cue cards or a teleprompter to help her pronounce the hard words. If anyone needs deprogramming it is the radical left who are following the Biden train, taking our country down the wrong track to a devastating crash.

  37. I have watched Jeopardy for as long as it has been on, but if the producers let her guest host, or God forbid be the new host I will never watch the show again! That will be a shame as I have enjoyed the show for a long time!
    who does she think she is that she thinks there are people out there that need to be deprogrammed??? What an ago!!! What world does she live in? She is one BIG SICKO!!😡🥴😡🥴

  38. I am Retired USN Chief, college grad., NASA Mission Controller. Pioneer deep space. I am a combat vet, and I feel I am a Patriot , love my country. But I am angry at media who tells one side of issues. BIDEN INTERFERENCE IN UKRAINE INVESTIGATION…
    FBI DIRECTOR COMEY LYING TO FISA COURT SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT DOSSIER FROM DNC.
    YOU NARRISSITIC JOURNALISTS HAVE CAUSED THIS DIVIDE. DON’T BLAME AMERICANS

  39. She is basically suggesting rounding up conservatives and putting them in concentration camps, Goebbels would be proud. This is a very dangerous seed to try implanting in the psyche of the citizens in America. She should be fired and given no public platform in the future. There is no excuse for her irresponsible NAZIS ideology.

  40. Talk about needing reprogramming- Katie kool aid and the Dems totally brainwashed by her and the media! No more Jeopardy for me.

  41. Ms. Couric….we cannot fathom how you have fallen for all the garbage you have been fed and how someone of your intelligence has bought into the Globalists lies that the left including the MSM have espoused.

  42. Katie’s true colors came out against Conservatives very quickly. Jeopardy has a conservative audience and you just blew your chance to make a good host by voicing your opinion. I used to like watching you on the Today Show but your time has come and gone. You made a very big mistake and I for one will not watch Jeopardy if
    you become the Host.

  43. AHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Better to be thought a Fool than open your mouth and erase All DOUBT!
    Haven’t figured why she thinks anybody cares what she thinks. She has been accepting her own BS too long.

  44. Too bad Katie Couric has been indoctrinated with liberal ideas- she once spoke with a sense of normalcy, but no more. It would be sweet justice to see a democrat not get a job because of their outrageous comments! What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

  45. The left and their inflammatory rhetoric are the ones provoking war with their vile talk. I wonder what the classy Alex Trebek would think of this skank taking over for him. My guess is he wouldn’t be happy!

  46. Worn-out, washed-up, piggy Katie (and other Dumbocrap ‘celebrities’ and politicians) need a shock to de-program them. I suggest a boycott on late-night shows, new movies, Netflix (Obysmal network.), fan magazines like People, websites for leftists. Add to it: find out their sponsors and advertisers and deluge them with negative complaints. There were 75 mill of us who voted for Trump, and I’m willing to bet another 75 mill more conservatives who didn’t vote. In fact, the country leans right. We need to make ourselves heard. Blaming half the country for the actions of a couple of hundreds of rioters is stupid. Just another Pigliosi talking point. And of course, Xiden keeps the story going as he ‘unites the country’.

  47. My entire family across the globe have enjoyed watching Jeopardy for as long as I can remember. That will all change if Katie Couric takes over where the one and only Alex Trebec

  48. hosted his final Christmas show – footsteps very hard to follow. Ken Jennings is doing a great job as guest host and I’m aware there are other candidates being considered. Please say NO to Katie Couric. She’s not up for the task and will not have any viewers like you might expect. She has no apparent reason to criticize President Trump or any of his 85,000+ supporters. If you don’t pick Ken Jennings, there are a host of other choices… Trust me when I say Katie Couric will absolutely destroy the show and none of us Jeopardy fans including Alex would want that to happen. We are stationed @Ramstein AFB, Germany & watch Jeopardy @5:30 p.m. Mon-Fri…

  49. I will never watch Jeopardy or NBC again. I signed off the today show when they fawned over the election of Obama. I quit the CBS morning show when they bashed President Trump after he was elected. Since when have we lost the right of free speech in this country. These people have gone so far to the left. They are taking scenes from the Nazi playbook and rerunning it. Hitler’s party was originally the Democratic Socialist party. These people have learned nothing from history!

  50. Katie acting like the rest of the lunatic liberals ! Jeopardy will now be boycotted! BYE BYE! Nobody cares what that loser thinks and shame on Jeopardy for even considering her !

  51. Katie bad choice , could never have respect from conservative audience …Think twice before you put a Trump hater as a host .The program will fail…. Katie is not that well thought of as a person.

  52. Uhhh, who needs to be deprogrammed? I would think it’s all the soft heads like Couric who don’t know America is the greatest nation in history and they have been brainwashed into believing the Socialist, One World Order view of supposed utopia.

  53. Couric has sealed her future and it should not be with Jeopardy. Alex Trebeck would roll over in his grave. Her utterances are very dangerous to an already unhinged fringe movement to whom she speaks. The show will lose a huge segment of it’s audience not to mention those that would audition for a spot. She is a nasty person!!

  54. Katie Couric clearly does not understand the concept of gaining an audience, I mean who does she think watches jeopardy? The mental illness of liberalism makes its followers destroy themselves in order to pay allegiance to the cause. Then the insanity of the liberals with no recourse causes the people on the other side to freak out when they see these leftists pay no consequences for the same actions they accuse others of.

    If Couric gets the gig at Jeopardy it will be another example of no consequences for abhorrent speech that disparages people for their political views. Truly anti-American behavior that the press apparently supports.

  55. So those supporting President Trump are living in a great lie? Democrats can believe they won the election, just like Christine Blasey Ford was believable. The left still thinks that Obama produced a valid birth certificate and social security number, and that little boys and girls can change genders if they wish it enough. The left believe the un-believable every time. Who again should be re-programed?

  56. The Democrats and main stream media need to come out of there echo chamber bubble and realize that half, or more, of America is not on board with their agenda, and no, we don’t need to be reprogrammed. They need to wake up in see reality before this country is lost or in a civil war.

  57. I never did care for Katie Couric and if she’s hosting I will never watch Jeopardy again. She needs to be in one of the food lines with all the people who just lost their jobs because of Biden.

  58. Katie Couric has totally lost her marbles saying half the country needs to be deprogramed because of not thinking the way she does. I will never watch anything she is on again. That is almost worse than being a deplorable. Two peas in a pod.

  59. Katie, never a journalist – just another blogger who is full of herself. There will no jeopardy in our house if I see her face, even once.

  60. Maybe smug, narcissistic Katie Couric is the one who needs to be reprogrammed!! I doubt she’s smart enough to realize that one-half of this country don’t agree with her biased ideas! She is a very poor choice to co-host Jeopardy!! Alex Trebek’s memory CANNOT be tarnished with her ilk. He was the kindest man, never denigrating or condescending toward anyone about anything! I love Jeopardy! and Alex Trebek and never miss a show, but could not watch Katie Couric! Please do not have Katie Couric anywhere near this show! You will lose a lot of viewers!

    I’ve really been enjoying Ken Jennings as the co-host and believe he would do a great job as host!!

  61. How are we going to rid the airwaves of Katy Couric, who seems to have lost whatever small intellect she once had?

  62. Ken needs to be the permanent host. I’m sure Alex would agree. Katie will cause a lot of us to stop watching !!!!!

  63. Entertainers have got to be very careful what they say in public anymore ! I also believe she is too laid back for that show ! I am looking forward to seeing Shelton’s significant other !

  64. Katie is another egotistical member of MSM, and a Democrat! We need to ban her broadcasts as well as Jeopardy if she is on.

  65. I’ve watched Jeopardy since it’s inception. If you allow such a callous person like Katie Couric I will never watch it again. I will also not buy from your sponsors and tell them so. She’s not that good 😝

  66. Get Katie Couric off the show. Send her to a doctor and see if she can be reprogrammed with a brain.
    She is a looser.

  67. I have been a Jeopardy fan since before dirt..When Art Fleming was the host…(But if feed back gets to the net work) let them know..if katie couric become host…I will never watch it again!!!

  68. I… have… been… deprogrammed…by.. Katie Couric. I will.. never.. vote again …for a conservative… for any political… position. I will never… watch …”Jeopardy” again… because I… have been told… it is a …conservative…game show. Or .. I will.. watch it.. because …my master and …. leader…Katie.. will…host.. it. It…is …very.. confusing,,, to ..me.

    Hah. She believed me, but I will never convert to the darkness of leftism.
    If she is ever a host on “Jeopardy” I will boycott it until she leaves. I like Ken. Don’t know his politics and don’t want to hear about it. Keep Ken! Dump Katic!

  69. I too will be one of the absentees. It’s revealing to read what the entertainment elite really think of those on who they relied for their bread and butter. One only has to observe the declining audience of reward shows and the deteriorated nighttime slots that used to be advertised as comedy.
