What happened to ‘CBS Saturday Morning’ anchor Jeff Glor?
Viewers tuning in to “CBS Saturday Morning” Oct. 5, 2024, likely noticed Jeff Glor was missing from the anchor desk.
That’s because Glor was laid off by CBS in late September 2024.
Glor’s last show was Sept. 28, 2024, giving him a chance to bid farewell to viewers.
His job was cut as part of a larger restructuring by Paramount Global, the owner of CBS, which is preparing itself to be acquired by Skydance Media. The company is carrying a heavy debt load and had previously announced plans to cut positions.
There’s no word on what Glor might do next or if he’s remaining in the broadcast business.
Meanwhile, CBS has kept Glor’s former co-anchors Dana Jacobson and Michelle Miller on the show. It’s not immediately clear if she the Saturday show will proceed with only two anchors or if a third might be added later.
The weekday edition of the network’s morning show, known as “CBS Mornings,” has three anchors, Gayle King, Tony Dokupil and Nate Burleson.

Jeff Glor, who anchored the CBS Evening News for two years before co-hosting CBS Saturday Morning, is leaving CBS News amid a wave of layoffs, according to a report from Puck News‘ Dylan Byers. (TVLine has reached out to CBS for a statement.)
Glor is currently a co-host of CBS Saturday Morning, along with Dana Jacobson and Michelle Miller, a position he’s held since June 2019. Glor also serves as a CBS News special correspondent, traveling the world to report on breaking news stories on location. He has interviewed dozens of authors as well as part of the show’s extensive book coverage.
Glor has been with CBS News since 2007, first serving as a reporter and anchor and filing reports for CBS Sunday Morning and The Early Show, which was later rebooted as CBS This Morning. In December 2017, Glor became the anchor of the CBS Evening News, taking over for Scott Pelley. Glor was then replaced in June 2019, with 60 Minutes correspondent Norah O’Donnell taking his place in the anchor’s chair. That same month, he joined CBS Saturday Morning as a co-host.
Glor’s exit comes along with an extensive series of layoffs at Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS News. Will you miss him on CBS? Hit the comments to share your thoughts on the news.
