Michael Jackson Asked Katie Couric Out on a Date, Using His Rabbi

On the Late Show With David Letterman last night, Katie Couric told the story of how Michael Jackson asked her out on a date in 2000 (two years after her husband died), using Rabbi Shmuley Boteach as a go-between. Praise be to the lord and all that is holy, Couric turned Jackson down, probably because he was a pedophile and also because he had “weird tape on his nose.” If the thought of Couric and Michael Jackson enjoying a romantic evening together isn’t nauseating enough for you, you need turn only to this clip of Larry King on Jimmy Kimmel’s show from two weeks ago, wherein King recounts his 1981 date with a young Couric in Washington, D.C., and actually utters the following words: “Once, I did Katie Couric.” Again with all appropriate praise to the TV gods, King misspoke: He did not “do” Couric, who is 24 years younger than King, because “I thought we were going to go up to the apartment, Katie and I, but she said she had a roommate.” Naturally, Kimmel asked why King didn’t go for the threesome. Sweet dreams tonight, kids!
