During the Wednesday, June 24 episode of Call Her Daddy, Couric told hostAlex Cooperthat she once pitched a 60 Minutes profile on Lady Gagabefore the singer became an even bigger cultural force.
Couric said the idea was initially rejected. She recalled a producer telling her the response was, "It's not for us."
Why the Assignment Later Went to Anderson Cooper

But when Couric checked the CBS assignment board, she said she saw the story listed with Anderson Cooper instead.
Couric said the moment frustrated her because she had first brought the idea to the show.
CBS later aired Cooper's 60 Minutes interview with Gaga on Feb. 13, 2011. The profile was taped in London, Milan and New York while Gaga was on tour.
She recalled being told she would do a profile of Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time, before learning that Scott Pelley's team had contacted the State Department about the same story.
She described it as happening "behind my back."
How Couric Later Interviewed Gaga
Couric did eventually interview Gaga. In 2011, she joined the singer for the ABC special A Very Gaga Thanksgiving.
