Katie Couric finally revealed her thoughts on Apple's "The Morning Show," which has long been rumoured to be based on Couric and the now-disgraced Matt Lauer.
The series stars Jennifer Aniston as Alex Levy, thought to be based on Couric herself, and Steve Carell as Mitch Kessler, a morning news show host embroiled in a sexual misconduct accusation. Kessler is said to be based on Lauer.
Couric spoke about the Golden Globe-nominated show on the podcast "Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino."
