Sound check for Katie Couric. . .

Sitting in a three foot high bar stool I shifted from left to right desperately trying to get comfortable as Paul placed my microphone on my shirt and handed me an earpiece. My eyes wandered around the Ford Theater, as the camera began to focus and the teleprompter turn on. The house lights dimmed as a single voice was heard in my ear, "Ladies, all of New York is watching you." There I was doing the sound check for the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.
