US TV’s longest-serving female anchor announces exit live on air after 30 years

Longtime Inside Edition anchor Deborah Norville has announced she’s exiting the show after 30 years.

66-year-old Norville has hosted CBS’s investigative news series since 1995, making her the longest-serving female anchor on U.S. television.

During Wednesday’s episode of the show, Norville took a moment to share the news of her departure and thank her colleagues and viewers.

“It has been an honor and a privilege to be at Inside for all these years. A milestone like this is a time for reflection, and on reflection, I’ve decided that now’s the time for me to move on from Inside Edition,” she said.

“They made me a lovely offer to stay, but there are things I’d like to do and places I wanna do them that continuing here don’t permit. So at the end of this season, I will be moving on,” she added, teasing: “I’ve got some exciting things in the work, and I’ll talk about that later.”Expand article logo  Continue reading

She concluded: “But what I want to say right now is what a privilege it has been to lead Inside Edition for all of these years, to work with the incredibly talented team here, and to be invited into your homes every day. It’s an honor I don’t take lightly.”
