Deborah Norville has been the anchor of Inside Edition for three decades, but that’s about to change. Amid a slew of departures from other on-air journalists, the Georgia native’s TV career is taking a different direction. While thanking viewers and CBS for her time at Inside Edition, where she earned an impressive salary and increased her net worth, Deborah called it an “honor and a privilege” to have anchored the long-running show.
“A milestone like this is a time for reflection and upon reflection, I’ve decided that now is the time for me to move on from Inside Edition,” Deborah announced. “I also want to say to you what an honor it has been for me to front the show for all these years, to report stories that keep you and your family safe, that give context to the day’s events, especially during COVID when we were the only show in first-run syndication to stay in production, to be a calming, reassuring presence in a world that seems topsy turvy.”
Deborah pointed out that it would have been the “easy thing” to stay at Inside Edition, but this was the “right decision” for her, and she felt “excited for what’s to come.”

It’s an honor I don’t take lightly.”
