Katie Couric's "All Access" Grammy Special on CBS
(Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2009)
Post her pained Palin interview, the CBS anchor, at last, gets the chance to exchange intelligent bon mots with, like, Lil' Wayne (9PM ET/PT). It's four days before the Grammys, and Lil', this year's artist with the most nominations, explains what gangstas do and don't do, all while bowling and exchanging high-fives with the newly resuscitated Katie. Justin Timberlake mocks Katie's "Really?!!" outburst when the Madonna collaborator confirms that he's heavily pursuing an acting career. Katy Perry admits to speaking in tongues with her Jesus-freak parents. Diggin' deep, that Couric, who also gains exclusive insight on Taylor Swift, John Legend, Metallica, Ne-Yo, plus Carrie Underwood and the Jonas Brothers, whom are performing on Grammy night alongside Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys and Lil' Wayne's biggest competition, Coldplay.
