I think we are perhaps underestimating Couric's skills as an interviewer. I have seen her do this thing before with other people. The interviewee comes in thinking they are going to get a softball interview and Katie will typically start off an interview with a series of easy questions. This puts the interviewee at her ease. Then suddenly Couric will ask them a much tougher question, usually one the interviewee should be able to answer but can't. At the end of the interview, the interviewee walks out with a bewildered "What happened!" look on their face.
