AceShowbiz - Katie Couric is shopping around a new show that will give a comedic behind-the-scenes look at morning news show business. According to Entertainment Weekly, the former NBC presenter is pitching the show to Showtime, HBO, Amazon, AMC, and Netflix with Michelle Pfeiffer attached to star as an anchor.
The story won't be completely autobiographical, but Couric's experience as a "Today" anchor will help keep it honest. "Murphy Brown" creator Diane English will serve as a writer, producer, and showrunner, while Eric and Kim Tannenbaum ("Two and a Half Men") will be involved as executive producers.
In related news, Katie Couric fooled James Corden when she came to visit his "Late Late Show" recently. James rushed to lend a hand and seemed to be genuinely panicked after her look-a-like took a tumble and toppled down a flight of stairs. "Up here, James!" she said while emerging unharmed. "April Fools!"
