Norah O’Donnell to host ‘CBS Mornings’ next week — sparking chatter of a possible return after long hiatus: sources
NY Post
Norah O’Donnell is set to host “CBS Mornings” next week — sparking chatter that she might be poised to return to the morning show after a seven-year hiatus, sources told The Post.
O’Donnell, who had co-hosted the network’s highly-rated morning show — then called “CBS This Morning” — with Gayle King and Charlie Rose, will return to hosting duties next week when she’s in the Northeast for her book tour.
It is unclear if the move is a test to see if there’s any chemistry between King, O’Donnell, and co-host Nate Burleson, as top brass is looking to overhaul the struggling, last-place program.
A source close to CBS threw cold water on that idea, saying that O’Donnell is not being considered for the role and is instead part of a rotating cast of people to help fill in the gaps until a third co-host is named.
But some sources aren’t buying it.
According to two insiders, network higher-ups including CBS editor in chief Bari Weiss, asked O’Donnell to return to “CBS Mornings” next Monday through Wednesday — despite her hectic promotional tour.
