Mark McGrath in talks to replace Katie Couric on CBS Evening News
Hollywood was in complete shock when it discovered that Extra, the Hollywood star news program, was replacing host Mark McGrath with Mario Lopez. It turns out McGrath could be back on TV real soon. Sources say he is in serious negotiations with CBS News to replace struggling anchorwoman Katie Couric on the evening newscast. CBS News President Sean McManus reportedly wants a younger look for the broadcast and McGrath could bring in that younger audience. A CBS news producer told us:
"Mark has proved that he is great journalist with his fantastic work on Extra and his in-depth interviews with Danny Bonaduce and Dustin Diamond. We need that kind of quality journalistic skills on our newscast."
McManus would reportedly want McGrath, who is also the lead singer of the band Sugar Ray, to sing the lead story every night to the tune of the song "Every Morning."
