Deborah Norville announced that her long run as an anchor was coming to an end back in April 2025. She revealed that she will be leaving Inside Edition after 30 years. On April 2, 2025, she took to Instagram to reveal, “30 years doing anything is quite the milestone and after 30 years anchoring Inside Edition, it’s time to do something new. I have declined the offer to continue at IE and will move on at the end of this season. It’s been an amazing ride and I will leave with gratitude for the people I have worked with and for – and the viewers who have watched.”
She added, “Twice before I made career moves for personal reasons (Chicago to NBC News in NY, CBS News to Inside Edition) and they were the right decisions. This decision is also motivated by family … and I know it it’s a good one. There’s lots more to come from me… just from a new place.”
Her time officially came to a close when she hosted her final on-air show for Inside Edition on Wednesday, May 21, 2025.
Deborah previously shocked fans in 2019 when she shared a video revealing that she had undergone surgery to remove a cancerous growth in her neck. Here’s what we know about the Inside Edition anchor and her procedure.
“We live in a world of see something, say something, and I’m really glad we do,” Norville revealed in a video announcement. “When you work on television, viewers comment on everything. Your hair, your makeup, the dress you’re wearing. And a long time ago an Inside Edition viewer reached out to say she’d seen something on my neck. It was a lump. Well, I’d never noticed the thing, but I did have it checked out and the doctor said it was nothing, a thyroid nodule.”
“For years, it was nothing,” she added. “Until recently, it was something. The doctor says it’s a very localized form of cancer, which tomorrow, I’ll have surgery to have remove. There will be no chemo. I’m told no radiation, but I will have surgery, and I’ll be away for a bit, so Diane will be holding down the fort.”
