Katie Couric Marks 25 Years Since Her Historic On-Air Colonoscopy

It has been 25 years since Katie Couric became the first person in history to broadcast a colonoscopy on national television. Her @TODAYshow segment was not only courageous — it changed the way the country talks about colorectal cancer.
