New Deep-Voiced Human To Introduce Katie Couric

When Katie Couric "scored a victory for women" by taking over the CBS Evening News in 2006, no one trusted her ability to deliver the news without going on long asides about shopping or breast-feeding or whatever else it is that women talk exclusively about. So Walter Cronkite recorded a voiceover to introduce her broadcast every night, just so people knew she had Man's Permission to hold such a job. But then he died last year and this recording became very awkward and Too Soon.

The CBS has solved this problem by paying famous deep-voice person Morgan Freeman to record anewintro for Katie Couric, so people will know they are still allowed to trust this woman with the Evening News and her ability to read off a teleprompter.
