NEW YORK - Maybe she’ll just say “good night.”

Katie Couric says about 50,000 people have sent her suggestions on how she should sign off each night’s broadcast on the “CBS Evening News.” She made the good-natured appeal for help with a new catch-phrase exit line on her first night of the broadcast last month.

She told David Letterman on CBS’ “Late Show” Thursday that her favorite was “Here, kitty kitty kitty.”
