Talk-show host and former "Today" anchor Katie Couric has revealed she turned down a date with Michael Jackson years ago, and went out with comedian Bob Saget and "Survivor" host Jeff Probst.
The rabbi, she said, replied, " 'Oh, that's a shame . . . Michael [Jackson] said to me, 'That's the kind of girl I would like to go out with.' "
On reflection, she told Stern, "I do regret not having dinner with him. That would have been insane -- breaking bread with Michael Jackson!"
As for Probst, with whom she went out once: "I think he had puka shells on -- that was kind of a weird thing."
