"CBS has canceled Tony Dokoupil's 10-city tour of the USA to celebrate him becoming the new host of Evening News, according to multiple reports on Saturday. The scrapped tour comes as Dokoupil will start hosting the program on Saturday evening two days earlier than was originally planned, Deadline reported. Dokoupil will make his hosting debut from San Francisco before going to New York City for his official launch on Monday, the outlet reported."
"As you would expect, CBS has been heavily promoting Dokoupil heading into his anchoring debut. He called for viewers to make him earn their trust in an op-ed, and CBS filmed a segment at Grand Central Station where Dokoupil asked people if they knew who he was. Dokoupil and CBS also unveiled their 5 principles for reporting on Friday. Those principles including We Love America and We Work For You led to teasing from some media critics online."
