Today’s hottest nonsexual showbiz secret lies hidden in plain sight – just slightly distorted – in ABC’s mysterious hall of mirrors, where thrilled honchos are publicly rah-rah-ing KATIE COURIC’s new talk show, even while privately conceding it just might flop like her DOA evening newscast:

QUICK, MIKE…TELL US WHY!?
“Because Katie is very tempting bait – and ABC’s using her to hook her old pal MATT LAUER, landing him for the Alphabet Network when his NBC contract ends later this year,” reveals My Network Spy.

Said a network insider: “It’s a brilliant plan – Katie and Matt ruling morning television all over again.
"And it absolutely could work! Talks with Matt are underway.”
