Nora O’Donnell is no longer the host of CBS Evening News — the long-awaited journalist completed her final shift at the famous news desk on Thursday, January 23, 2025. John Dickerson and Maurice DuBois will now host the show, according to USA Today.
O’Donnell worked at CBS News for over ten years and seven election cycles, so her decision to part ways with the program is noteworthy. That’s why Nora O’Donnell is leaving CBS Evening News after five years as the host.
O’Donnell is best known as the host of CBS Evening News and co-host of CBS This Morning. She also served as the network’s chief White House correspondent and filled in as host of Face the Nation. A native of Washington, D.C., she studied at Georgetown, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and a master’s degree in liberal studies.
She gained recognition on the competing network NBC before joining CBS, appearing on the Today Show, working as NBC’s chief correspondent in Washington and White House correspondent for NBC News, as well as hosting MSNBC Live. She also worked as a host on Weekend Today and a reporter for Dateline NBC, NBC Nightly News, and MSNBC.
In a statement released by CBS last summer, Nora said she was simply ready to move on. «I have spent 12 years in the anchor chair here at CBS News, tied to the daily broadcast and the challenges of the continuous news cycle», - she said at the time. «It's time to do something else. These presidential elections will be my seventh as a journalist, and for many of us in this business, we tend to evaluate our careers through these important events».
In its own statement, CBS noted that Nora is not leaving the network despite stepping down from CBS Evening News. Instead, she will transition to a senior correspondent position at the network. «After five years in the anchor chair, @NorahODonnell bids farewell to CBS Evening News tonight», - the show tweeted on Thursday, January 23, 2025. «Her reports have not only made history, but also deeply touched viewers across the country. This is not a goodbye — Nora will remain an important part of the CBS News family as a senior correspondent»
