Katie also told Matt that she's interested in hosting a syndicated talk show that would focus on health and social issues, as well as politics. Couric said, "It might be nice to have a little more wiggle room for me to show a little more personality."

On Wednesday, Matt Lauer reportedly said he would follow co-host Meredith Vieira's possible exit from the "Today" when his contract is up at the end of the year.
