Making its debut Monday on ABC, THE KATIE COURIC SHOW demonstrates the former TODAY SHOW co-host’s strong suit as an interviewer and conversationalist.

We sat down with her during the recent Television Critics Association press event and she talked about what she’s trying to do with the new show. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
