Couric joins Kimmel for a comedic colonoscopy

LOS ANGELES — Jimmy Kimmel’s audience got to see more of the host than usual when he had his first colonoscopy. The talk show host brought Katie Couric along for the test, which aired on his show Tuesday.

Kimmel just turned 50, the age recommended for the colorectal cancer screening. The exam found no sign of polyps. But Couric joked with Kimmel that keys, toy soldiers and a harmonica were recovered. Couric’s late husband died of the disease in 1998.
