We can't tell if this clip of Katie Couric preparing for a Nashville broadcast is real or an awesome, purposeful spoof on Dan Rather's unfortunate trench-coat video of last year. Either way, it's a brilliant piece of daytime cinema, in which Katie fumbles with her own coat issues while talking smack about Rather ("Heh, I'm like Dan Rather on You Tube … What? Don't you think he deserves a little payback?"), snorts, decries "nursing home" lighting, mourns her missing Uggs, and calls the production guys "dude" and "bro." As in, "I'm serious, you're moving the camera all around. I'm like, bro, what up." We've never loved her more.
