The next installment of Katie Couric's career is likely to be unveiled Monday. Disney/ABC is expected to announce that the former Today host and CBS Evening News anchor will host a talk show beginning September 2012, while contributing to ABC News programs. The deal will likely give her an ownership stake in the new show, which will be produced by former NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker. Her daytime show is expected to consist of human-interest interviews similar to those she conducted at the Today show.
