Gambling911.com has released its own odds of a Couric vs. Palin morning news show showdown with NBC’s “Today” a 1/3 odds favorite to beat out ABC’s “Good Morning America”.
Couric is subbing for co-host Robin Roberts on “Good Morning America” while Palin will act as co-host for the 8 am EST hour on Couric’s old stomping ground “Today”.
"What are you doing to prepare — are you reading some newspapers?" joked host Matt Lauer. He was alluding to an embarrassing moment from the Couric interview, when Palin couldn't name any newspapers she regularly read, instead replying that she read "all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years."
"That's a fine how-do-you-do! Here we go!" Palin laughed on Monday. But, turning serious, she added, "I appreciate NBC's boldness in having me on. Doesn't it kind of reflect some of that diversity of opinion that you espouse?"
"Or desperation," cracked former host Meredith Vieira, who was making a surprise appearance.
These odds are not betable for real money.
