Norah O’Donnell’s ‘CBS Evening News’ Exit Set for January 24
Norah O'Donnell will anchor 'CBS Evening News' for the final time on January 24, keeping her on the show through the next presidential inauguration
O’Donnell, who became anchor of “Evening News” in July of 2019, is moving to a new role as a senior correspondent that will have her contribute special reports built around enterprise work or landing interviews with prominent newsmakers. Her work to snare direct interviews with prominent personnel resulted in a sit-down earlier this year with Pope Francis, and in 2019, she was able to press Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman about the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashogghi, which intelligence reports have said he orchestrated. Since Dan Rather’s exit in 2005, CBS has tapped Bob Schieffer, Katie Couric, Harry Smith, Scott Pelley, Anthony Mason and Jeff Glor to handle “Evening News” anchor duties.
