The longtime news anchor signed off from the show on Thursday night (January 23) and even got a surprise from Oprah Winfrey during the broadcast.

“You have so much to be proud of,” Oprah said in a pre-taped message. “Your work as the anchor and managing editor of the CBS Evening News has not only won awards, but more importantly, has made such a difference and informed our nation.”

So, why did she leave the show? And what is she doing next?

Norah explained her exit in a statement back in July 2024.

“After this year’s election, I’ve decided I will be leaving my role as anchor and managing editor of the CBS Evening News to take on a new position at the network. We just celebrated an amazing five years together. I love what I do, and I am so fortunate to work with the best journalists and people in the business,” Norah said. “There’s so much work to be proud of! But I have spent 12 years in the anchor chair here at CBS News, connected to a daily broadcast and the rigors of a relentless news cycle. It’s time to do something different. This presidential election will be my seventh as a journalist, and for many of us in this business we tend to look at our careers in terms of these milestone events.”
