WRTV 6 in Indianapolis has a short video segment on Katie Couric’s appearance at Jimmy’s show on Tuesday night.

“She can sing. So, it could be a career starting move for her,” Buffett said. “I don‘t think it’s going to be a career-ending move for me.”

Couric has other plans. She’ll launch a new daytime talk show titled “Katie” on Sept. 10. Footage from the event will be featured in the new show.

Looking ahead, Buffett says fans can anticipate a new album and another appearance on “Hawaii Five-0″ as veteran military helicopter pilot Frank Bama.

“We’re just kind of cruising along. We’re busy in our world — our casino is opening in Biloxi (Mississippi), we’ve got a lot of interesting things going on in the Margaritaville business side of things and also in the music side of things. I’m starting to write again, and it’s about time to do an album.

On Wednesday night’s American Idol, a contestant who goes by the name Magic Cyclops butchered not only a Jimmy Buffett song, but also his name.

At the audition in Aspen, judge Randy Jackson asks Magic Cyclops what he’s going to sing and he says it’s their choice, either Neil Diamond or James Buffet (pronouncing it Boo-fay). Judge Jennifer Lopez decodes the name, telling Jackson he means Jimmy Buffett.

After singing Neil Diamond, Magic Cyclops proceeds to butcher the chorus of “Margaritaville.”

Jimmy Buffett got a mention on Wednesday night’s The Daily Show on Comedy Central.

Host Jon Stewart was recapping the previous night’s Iowa Caucus when he made reference to Jimmy after showing clips of Ron Paul’s post-caucus speech:

“His crowd responds to everything,” said Stewart. “It’s like being at a Jimmy Buffett show where shit’s going on and you’re like “why is everyone wearing a parrot on their head.” People are holding up lighters like “abolish the fed!”

Watch the episode here. The relevant portion begins around the 5:30 mark.

This is the second time in the past couple years that Buffett has been referenced on the Daily Show. Stewart made a similar joke about Jimmy’s shows in 2009 when discussing the financial industry and the herd mentality of those working in the markets.

“It’s like a Jimmy Buffett concert. You meet the people individually… very nice, but you get them all together and they put on the parrot hats and you’re like “I’m not investing with you idiots”.”

Two similar references? It seems as if Jon Stewart had an experience at a Buffett show that stuck with him.
