"Katie Couric is set to interview Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te&amp;#039;o. This would be the first on-camera interview for Te&amp;#039;o since admitting that he was a victim of an elaborate hoax, reports The New York Times.   It was revealed that Te&amp;#039;o&amp;#039;s girlfriend Lennay Kekua never existed and that she was allegedly fabricated by Ronaiah Tuiasosopo. Te&amp;#039;o and &amp;#039;Kekua&amp;#039; were said to have met online and became a couple without meeting each other.  Te&amp;#039;o&amp;#039;s story came to attention after he led his Notre Dame team to the BCS National Championship game earlier this month, while grieving for the loss of his grandmother and Kekua. Kekua supposedly died of leukemia on the same week that Te&amp;#039;o&amp;#039;s grandmother passed away.  Couric&amp;#039;s interview with Te&amp;#039;o will be aired on Thursday (January 24) on her new talkshow Katie. Excerpts of the interview will be shown beforehand on Good Morning America and other ABC News programs. Te&amp;#039;o will be joined by his parents Brian and Ottilia for the interview.
