CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric previously proved she could make fun of herself with an appearance alongside actress Jane Lynch on the television show Glee, yet this time Couric owns all the laughs herself. In a Funny or Die video, Couric goes out in the field to do a report on whether a group of young kids is able to “shake the sillies out” and after she gets a case of the sillies herself, hilarity ensues.

The highlight might be Couric informing the group of cute and wide-eyed kids that in fact one cannot shake the sillies out, telling them they are “living a lie” and asking “is your little childhood world shattering before your eyes?” From there viewers also get to enjoy Couric jumping up and down, giving kids a wet willy, and running away from a “time out” and demanding the teacher come and catch her. And in true nightly news fashion, Couric ends with an intriguing tease, “up next, do you have a rash on your leg? The answer . . . may surprise you.”

And then she complains that nobody takes her seriously as a journalist. Oh, Katie. Are you so desperate that you are now doing a poor impression of the Daily Show combined with Onion News Network? Or are you just trying to relive the glory days of the colonoscopy?

Next up, Sybil the Soothsayer.

Nope. I am calling her a crazy idiot. You read it here first – Couric loses mind, channels Onion News Network, rumored to be buying chalkboards.

She licks her finger and wiggles it in a kids ear. What is that all about? Was parental consent obtained?

Oh boy, just what one would expect from a CBS “news” anchor. Katie has done the network proud – $15/m for the lowest ratings evah and well, stories like this. Good job CBS
