Norah O’Donnell is set to rejoin CBS’ morning program, "CBS Mornings," as a co-host beginning September 8th. This move comes after seven years away from the show, during which she served as a correspondent on "CBS Evening News." O’Donnell will join longtime colleague Gayle King and Nate Burleson at the morning table. The return of O’Donnell, who previously co-hosted "CBS This Morning" from 2012 to 2019, aims to strengthen CBS News' morning lineup and increase political coverage leading up to the midterm elections.
Despite facing declining ratings, the network believes O’Donnell’s experience and complementary perspectives with King and Burleson make them a formidable team. O’Donnell’s experience, along with King’s and Burleson’s, is expected to bring more hard news and live discussions to the program. CBS News President Tom Cibrowski emphasized the importance of adding the "best people" to the air, highlighting the chemistry and mutual respect among the three hosts.
