Couric also remarked on her historic achievement as the long-running game show’s first female guest host while encouraging other women and girls to take pride in their intelligence and resist the urge to curb their ambition.
“I’ve always believed it’s critically important to have representation in media — to have women, to have people of color, to have all kinds of people that make up this wonderful country we live in — because I want people at home to see people like them in these important powerful authoritative roles,” Couric said. “So to be the first woman on a show that stands for excellence and intelligence and integrity is a real honor for me.“For little girls everywhere, it’s cool to be smart,” she added.
In addition to “Jeopardy!,” Couric’s myriad hosting and guest-hosting credits include NBC’s “Today” show, “Good Morning America,” “The Tonight Show,” “60 Minutes” and the “Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade” telecast, as well as well as her self-titled talk show and “CBS Evening News With Katie Couric,” which ran from 2006 to 2011.
