Deborah Norville Leaving ‘Inside Edition’ After 30 Years

Deborah Norville, longtime host of Inside Edition, announced Wednesday she is leaving the show at the end of the season.

Norville shared the message below with viewers on today’s show.

“It has been such an honor and privilege to be here at Inside Edition for all these years. A milestone like this is a time for reflection, and on reflection, I have decided that now is the time to move on from Inside Edition, she said. “They made me a lovely offer to stay, but there are things I’d like to do and places I want to do them that continuing here doesn’t permit. So, at the end of the season, I’ll be moving on. I’ve got some exciting things in the works, which I’ll talk about later, but what I want to say now is what a privilege it’s been to lead Inside Edition for all these years. To work with the incredibly talented team here, and to be invited into your homes every day, it’s an honor I don’t take lightly.”

Norville, a two-time Emmy winner, joined Inside Edition in 1995 from CBS News, where she was anchor and correspondent.

“Deborah’s powerful presence, both on-screen and behind-the-scenes, has contributed immensely to the success of Inside Edition for the past 30 years, said Charles Lachman, Executive Producer of Inside Edition. She has made a lasting impact on the show, and I’m excited to follow along as she builds upon her outstanding broadcast legacy in her next chapter.”

As we previously announced, Norville is set to host CBS Media Ventures’ new syndicated game show The Perfect Line in the fall. The show promises “a new, visual take on trivia,” with a format that will tackle a broad range of topics from world events to pop culture moments.
