In an interview with PBS’ Tavis Smiley, Katie Couric said that she wanted to be “respectful” of her successor (who she did not name, but who is widely believed to be “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley). She called the anchor desk a “pretty confining venue,” and said she wanted to be doing something that was “a little more in my wheelhouse,” and “what I think I do best, which is interacting with people, interviewing with people.”
