In fact, one of Katies earliest appearances in front of the camera led her boss to proclaim that he never wanted to see her on the air again. But Katie didnt let that stop her. She always knew she was destined to be a TV journalist. After rising to stardom as co-host of NBCs Today show in the 1990s, Katie reached the pinnacle of her profession in 2006 on the CBS Evening News, becoming the first solo female anchor of a network nightly news program. Katies determination extends beyond her career. Since the death of her husband, Jay, from colon cancer in 1998, she has worked tirelessly as an advocate for cancer research. |
