        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Katie Couric</strong> has some suggestions for Apple TV&#8217;s &#8220;The Morning Show.&#8221;</p><p>The Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon-starring series — which is based on Brian Stelter&#8217;s book about the morning show wars, called &#8220;<strong>Top of the Morning</strong>&#8221; — is rumored to be about Katie Couric, Matt Lauer and more key players in the business. Aniston&#8217;s character, Alex Levy, is said to be based on Couric during her time on the &#8220;Today&#8221; show, while co-star Steve Carell&#8217;s character — who is embroiled in a sexual misconduct scandal — is thought to be based on since-fired Matt Lauer, though the cast has firmly maintained that he&#8217;s <strong>based on a mix of powerful men in media</strong>.</p><p>Couric, 63, hasn&#8217;t spoken publicly about the show, which debuted last year, until now.</p><p>&#8220;I have so many thoughts &#8230; I thought some of it was really interesting, and i think the long-term impact and the serious devastation that results from certain behaviors was quite well represented, or quite well conveyed in that,&#8221; Couric said on the podcast &#8220;<strong>Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino</strong>.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I think Jennifer Aniston is great. &#8230; I wish they had made her more charismatic because I think you need a certain ebullience to pull off a show like that,&#8221; Couric continued.</p><p>Couric said she didn&#8217;t want to dish too much on her thoughts because she&#8217;ll be detailing them more in her forthcoming memoir, which is slated for a 2021 release.</p><p>&#8220;I thought it was really interesting to watch,&#8221; she shared with Pellegrino, &#8220;&#8230; but it was very interesting for me to watch, I&#8217;ll just leave it at that.&#8221;</p><p><strong>A source previously told The Post</strong> that Couric was penning a memoir because &#8220;she can’t get a job on TV.&#8221; Having worked at ABC, NBC and CBS, &#8220;She’s burned so many bridges,&#8221; the source said.</p><p>Couric&#8217;s memoir will detail her experience working with now-disgraced Lauer on “Today,” her rivalry with ABC’s Diane Sawyer and, according to Little, Brown, &#8220;the time a high-ranking executive commented on her breast size in front of the top brass during an editorial meeting.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded>
