Jeff Glor is saying goodbye to CBS Saturday Morning after it was reported earlier this week that he’d be exiting CBS News amid a wave of layoffs.

“I grew up as a kid who came to love the written word,” Glor said during his final Saturday show. (Watch video below.) “So it has been a thrill to meet some of the writers that shaped me and find new ones and share their stories with you on this broadcast, share the power of perseverance and creativity.”

Glor went on to thank producers and editors of the series, as well as his co-hosts Dana Jacobson and Michelle Miller, calling them his “on-air family.”

The anchor ended his farewell by addressing viewers directly: “Finally to you, thank you for watching. It means everything. I don’t know exactly what’s next, but I do know: I love what I do. I love working with great people and putting quality on the air, interviewing and anchoring and reporting and doing stories that matter and that will last. That is not going away. It never will. I hope to see you again real soon.”

Glor has been with CBS News since 2007, first serving as a reporter and anchor 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. Are you sad to see Glor go? Hit the comments to share your thoughts on the news.
