Katie Couric, welcome to Her Daddy.

**Katie Couric** (2:26)
Thank you so much. I'm happy to be here.

**Alex Cooper** (2:28)
You are one of the most legendary journalists of all time. You are the first woman to ever solo anchor the Evening News. You have literally interviewed everyone from world leaders to Taylor Swift. You have broken barriers for women, all while managing a lot of personal struggles along the way. And so I feel like we have so much to talk about today, and I'm very, very excited to be here with you.

**Katie Couric** (2:54)
Well, thank you for having me. We do have so much to talk about, and I'm going to have to resist Alex asking you a million questions.

**Alex Cooper** (3:03)
I was literally just going to ask you that because I was like, I know you're usually in my seat, getting to ask all the questions, getting to be in control. How does it feel when you have to be on the other end of it?

**Katie Couric** (3:13)
I think it actually depends a lot, honestly. No pressure on the interviewer.

**Alex Cooper** (3:18)
No pressure. Thank you, Katie.

**Katie Couric** (3:19)
But what I love about you is you're always really well-prepared, which is so important and I think it shows, I think first of all, it puts the person at ease. They feel like, wow, this person isn't just sitting down. They know something about me. They've done their homework. They have found little interesting things that they are interested in.
I think when somebody is prepared and interested, it makes it a lot more fun.

**Alex Cooper** (3:50)
I agree. I think it almost also feels safer because you're like, oh, you got me. You want to be here. I want to be here and trust me, I got you, Katie.

**Katie Couric** (3:58)
Okay. Thank you.

**Alex Cooper** (3:59)
I was thinking about it. One of the last times I was in New York interviewing someone was Amy Schumer.
I heard from little Bertie that there was a pretty bold prank that she played on you and your husband.
