"I was a nervous wreck, honestly," Couric said in discussing her two-week stint as a guest-host, which began Monday night. "There are a lot of moving parts behind the scenes, things you need to figure out. It's complicated! It requires a lot of multitasking...But it was so much fun." Couric added: "I love that I'm the first woman!. They framed a little thing for me after I was on. It says, 'What iconic journalist and Stand Up to Cancer founder is the first female guest host of Jeopardy!?' And then it says, 'Who is Katie Couric?'"
