NEW YORK, NY - Today Show host Katie Couric’s televised colonoscopy has helped increase colonoscopies nationwide by 20%.

When asked about the increase, Couric's colon stated, "I am just so happy my efforts are helping so many people. It makes me want to help humanity in other areas-- firf!"

When asked of its new goals, the colon replied, "I think the world still has a major issue with hunger. I would like to make sure that the children of the world get proper nutrition-- firf!"

When questioned about how it would achieve such a goal, it firfed, "I will personally digest every ounce of food, and check it for the proper vitamins and minerals." It added, "Then I will package the nutrients into easy-to-eat log-shaped nuggets."

Couric’s colon is expected to release the new world-saving food product later this fall.
