Former ‘Today’ host Katie Couric is now reportedly in danger of losing her potential job as the host of Jeopardy after making unhinged comments about the GOP and Trump supporters during an appearance on ‘Real Time with Bill Mahr.’
After blasting pro-Trump members of Congress Couric turned her ire on Trump supporters themselves, saying that they might need to be ‘deprogrammed’ presumably by liberals wielding punitive and tyrannical authority.
As Fox News reports:
“Jeopardy!” producers are reportedly concerned about Katie Couric‘s controversial comments bashing the Republican Party ahead of her planned guest-hosting duties on the long-running game show…

Page Six reports that, according to a source, the “Jeopardy” audience is “very conservative” and the game show had “always steered clear of politics.”
“Katie’s comments so soon after she was announced as a host are very concerning to the producers. They are worried there will be a backlash against her. There has already been some complaints,” the source told Page Six.
“Jeopardy viewers are quite a traditional bunch, and there’s fears she might be too polarizing after this. At the very least, she already appears to have ruled herself out of becoming the permanent host of the show,” the source continued.
