"I cannot thank this team enough, DuBois told viewers, adding: I've walked out of here each night extremely proud of the work we've done together. And you, our viewers, I cannot thank you enough for placing your trust in us. Turning to Dickerson, he said: John, you're an outstanding journalist, an even better person. I've learned quite a bit from working with you. Proud to call you not just a colleague, but a friend."
"Thank you, Maurice. You know, a year and a half ago we didn't even really know each other. And you've become a model for me and a trusted friend. It has been an honor to put the work of our correspondents, producers, editors, and writers before you. And to work with my partner, Maurice, who put his heart into our shared concern, doing right by you, Dickerson added: Your expectation has been our responsibility and our reward."
"Tony Dokoupil, who co-anchors CBS Mornings, was tapped to replace the two current hosts earlier this month by the network's editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, who herself took the reins at CBS News in November. Status reported that amid a broader overhaul of the news operation following both her appointment and the Paramount Skydance takeover of the network, Weiss and President Tom Cibrowski had sought to poach a big name star from a rival network, including CNN's Anderson Cooper and Fox News host Bret Baier."
