Katie Couric
Hey Sydney, My Jeans Aren’t Just Cute …
They’re Saving Lives Too!!!

Sydney Sweeney ain’t the only one rocking killer jeans — Katie Couric’s got them too, serving up a hilarious take on the infamous American Eagle ad in full denim vibes!
Check out Katie’s take — ’cause yeah, it screams Sydney, even with the “speaking of genes” nod … but it was for colon cancer screenings advocacy, with the camera panning out to show her rocking a hospital gown under that denim jacket, lounging on a gurney like a pro.
Still, Katie brought the full Sydney-style smolder, looking straight at the camera while dropping the facts: most colon cancer cases aren’t genetic, which is why docs say everyone 45+ should get screened.

Just like Sydney’s ad, Katie’s had a voiceover and big on-screen text … “Katie Couric gets regular screenings. And if you’re 45 and older, you should too,” before flirtatiously signing off with, “Mine are televised.”
This spoof wasn’t exactly an ‘SNL’-style roast — it was more a wink of respect. Katie even told PEOPLE it highlighted how Sydney’s ad (and a killer pair of jeans) shaped pop culture convo, and she just wanted to ride that moment a bit longer.
