*ABC’s Katie Couric hits prime time tonight with her Academy Awards celebration “Mad About Oscar,” billed as a special edition of “20/20” that relives the greatest moments in the show’s history – from Cuba Gooding Jr.’s scissor kick to the buck nekkid man that streaked past David Niven.

*The story that just won’t die, just like Manti Te’o’s fake girlfriend, has just been preserved in pop culture history alongside the likes of Antoine Dodson’s “Bed Intruder Song.” Katie Couric’s interview with the former Notre Dame star has been auto tuned and remixed by Schmoyoho – and even features a rap breakdown from Te’o’s [...]
*It was only a matter of time before the rising tide of Manti Te’o’s controversy would lift MTV’s new reality series “Catfish: The TV Show,” which follows young people seeking to find out if the online love they have yet to meet is actually the person they claim to be. Ratings for the show jumped [...]
*Solid ratings have prompted NBCUniversal Domestic TV Distribution to renew “Steve Harvey” for a second season, reports Deadline.

Endemol-produced [...]
*Although Katie Couric led all freshman daytime talk shows in the ratings last week with an average of 2.5 million viewers a day (according to national ratings released Tuesday), the case can be made that it is standup comic, author, radio host and game show star Steve Harvey whose daytime career is catching on, notes [...]
From Cherry Davis… I’m super excited that Katie Couric is going to interview talk show personality Wendy Williams about wigs on her new daytime talk show Katie! Last May Wendy had a ‘wig a day’ theme on her self-titled talk show, and she wore a different wig every day of the month! It’s refreshing that [...]

*Robin Roberts and the rest of her “Good Morning America” colleagues in New York’s Times Square studios beamed via satellite into the TCA 2012 Summer Press Tour in Beverly Hills this morning – just as news broke of the show winning its fourth consecutive week among total viewers, and tying NBC’s dominant “Today” among adults 25-54 [...]
*ABC’s “Good Morning America” appears to have snapped NBC’s 16-year “Today” show winning streak in the ratings – but just by a hair. While “GMA” has beaten “Today” several times, it has not won a full week since December 1995, notes USA Today. Citing preliminary Nielsen ratings, ABC says “GMA” averaged 5.147 million viewers last [...]
*ABC is rearranging its afternoon programming for the September arrival of Katie Couric. Chef Carla Hall and her colleagues on “The Chew,” which replaced “All My Children,” made the cut for a second season, but “The Revolution,” with co-host Dr. Tiffanie Davis, didn’t fare so well. “The Chew,” a food-oriented talk show, has been on [...]
