Katie Couric to interview Sarah Jessica Parker for ABC News
Katie Couric will make her ABC News debut on Tuesday night during an interview segment with Sarah Jessica Parker. The news anchor, who left her CBS Evening News post in May, will sit down with I Don’t Know How She Does It star Parker to discuss her career, family and the difficulties of fame, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Parker said during the segment: “I think the things that are more painful to me are not the intrusion of paparazzi, it’s the lack of civility that I find more intimidating and far more painful an experience.
“It’s the lack of critical thinking. It’s the endless snarky, mean way we talk about each other, we approach each other. The anonymity of being cruel, the delight in tearing people down. The tabloid era that we find ourselves in is a cultural boneyard, and that is painful to me.”
Couric’s interview with Parker will air during Tuesday night’s episode of Nightline.
Parker recently confessed that she cried over a false tabloid report which claimed that she did not want to serve jury duty.
Couric is tipped to launch her own talkshow, entitled Katie, on September 8, 2012 on ABC.
