Couric, Ruck & Posey Get New TV Jobs!! Wednesday Strong Box!!

I am – Hercules!!

Three quick notes for Wednesday ...

Katie Couric is expected to announce on “The Today Show” this morning that she is leaving the show to become the first solo female network anchor for the CBS Evening News. She’ll be replacing the great Bob Schieffer.

ABC says “Superman Returns” cast member Parker Posey will be joining “Boston Legal” for a multi-episode arc.

Finally, Alan Ruck (“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” “Speed,” “Spin City”) has landed a key role in “Drive,” the new Fox pilot from the great Tim Minear (“Angel,” “Firefly,” “Wonderfalls,” “The Inside”). Ruck plays a father who hits the road with his 15-year-old daughter for a strange and mysterious cross-country race that could make somebody rich. Some might describe the show thusly:

"Drive" : "The Amazing Race" :: "Lost" : "Survivor"
