Norah O’Donnell returns to CBS News’ morning program “CBS Mornings” as co-host, joining Gayle King and Nate Burleson. Multiple outlets report she will start next Tuesday, Sept. 8.
The announcement is framed as a programming shift at CBS aimed at strengthening the show’s lineup. Variety and the Los Angeles Times describe the return in the context of ongoing efforts to improve “CBS Mornings,” while CBS News states the change centers on O’Donnell’s role alongside King and Burleson. Hollywood Reporter similarly links the move to a broader network shake-up.
O’Donnell’s career background is consistent across coverage: she co-hosted “CBS Mornings” from 2012 to 2019 before moving to “CBS Evening News.” Deadline and CBS News also note her expanded responsibilities at “60 Minutes,” reflecting her continued leadership role within CBS News. Business Insider adds a career-expert perspective that returning to a previous job can carry specific challenges, though all outlets agree on the core details of the move.
