“It’s been an extraordinary privilege to sit in this chair and a real honor to work with so many talented people here at CBS News,” Couric said, before running a retrospective of some of the most important stories Couric has covered—“Five years in five minutes”—ranging from the tragic (a screaming child caught the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake) and shocking (the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords) to the laughable (Couric’s legendary interview with Sarah Palin) and the very recent (the Royal Wedding and death of Bin Laden).
