Philbin was joking.

A few thoughts:
1. If she was leaving Today, it would be made a larger deal than in a Ladies Home Journal interview.
2. The Meredith-leaves-Today-and-Katie-returns scenario has been played out for the past several months; from everything I've seen, it looks like Couric's close to re-upping with CBS.
3. This seems like a lot of attention to pay to a third-rate celebrity website.
4. Meredith on Today and Meredith on Millionaire are two distinctly different planes.

Well, Cullen would have been livelier than some of the guest hosts.

But he wouldn't have smelled as good.
