Katie Couric Teases Upcoming Interview With MeidasTouch Brothers And The Internet Reacts

A teaser for the episode of ‘The Next Question’ that would feature the three MeidasTouch brothers had just been released by Katie Couric, and… well, let’s just say the internet HAD THOUGHTS. A veteran in the field, the journalist announced this on social media, promising that the episode would be released this Thursday. Some people were buzzing with excitement. Others just brought in the drama, the jokes, and chaos.

For starters, quick recap: The Couric Show will host the MeidasTouch brothers for some arguably deep political dialogues, media conversations, and whatever else they have on their minds. Those brothers run MeidasTouch, which is a progressive media company that has been a real headache for certain political figures (we all know who). Couric went with a straightforward caption for the social media post; the replies, though, were electrifying.

Some were supportive. ‘This is the best!!’ the user cheered, ready to host watch the episode. Another added, ‘I totally love these guys. Must see shows. Like all the time.’ Such an ally group: perfect! But then the other side of the internet rubbed its eyes as it awoke.

‘They’re douchebags so don’t get too excited,’ shot down the snark. This was followed by another conspiracy-laden statement questioning if Couric would refute the brothers about ‘Jake Tapper’s new book that says the White House lied to us all about Biden’s dementia.’ Ugh. And another: ‘Liberalism is a mental disorder.’ Well, okay then.

And from there on, the jokes began. One asked Couric, “When you gonna film another colonoscopy?” Very much in punishing her for being a supporter of cancer screenings. Pretty mean but kind of funny? Another was keen to know, ‘Can 3 betas make 1 alpha?’ which… what does that even mean? Internet weirdness, alright.

Then came the not-so-shady ones: some people were rather confounded. One asked, ‘Why hasn’t anyone told Katie she’s irrelevant now?’ Harsh, but hey, opinions are like… well, you know. Then, others were representing nostalgia: ‘Katie you’re still as beautiful and charming as ever.’ The kind of sweetness rarely found in chaos.

The brothers have been divisive in political media, so the explosion of reactions on Couric-channeling was predictable. Love them or hate them, opinions are cast when speaking of the brothers. And whether or not the viewership shoots up because of politics, or for politics, or for the drama, or just plain curiosity on how Couric will contend with all that, this one… It’s a must-watch or at least a must-discuss.

Couric also has many years under her belt and has seen a fair share of noise etiquette. Praise, ridicule, or random colonoscopy jokes—been there, done that, thanks very much. So the very fact that she is being debated this fiercely is an argument in itself for her relevance. The episode airs this Thursday. Buckle up.

Meanwhile, the internet will keep doing what it does best: throwing every possible opinion into the void to see what sticks. Some adore the MeidasTouch brothers, some abhor them, and some want to debate on Jake Tapper’s book. Classic.
