CBS Saturday Morning Anchors Sign-Off


CBS Saturday Morning co-hosts Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson will anchor their final broadcast tomorrow, November 22, 2025, with CBS executives still refusing to tell staff who—if anyone—will replace them, multiple sources tell the New York Post.

The exit comes amid Paramount Global’s brutal round of more than 2,000 layoffs, which has already eliminated over 100 CBS News positions, axed the streaming versions of CBS Mornings and CBS Evening News, closed the Johannesburg bureau, and dissolved the Race & Culture Unit. Miller and Jacobson learned of their departure only weeks ago; staff were informed that tomorrow’s show is their last, yet no successor, permanent or interim, has been named, leaving the weekend team in an “information vacuum” just 24 hours before air.

Insiders say new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss is driving a top-to-bottom overhaul with the internal mantra “blow this up.” Saturday Morning is widely expected to be re-tooled or scaled back, but no format decisions have been shared. 

Correspondent Adriana Diaz will fill in on November 29, though she has shown no interest in the permanent role. Other possible substitutes include Errol Barnett, Kelly O’Grady, and weekend anchor Jericka Duncan, but most expect a long “carousel of fill-ins” given CBS’s depleted weekend bench.

The layoffs follow Paramount’s $8 billion merger with Skydance Media and intensify pressure on CEO David Zaslav’s potential sale of Warner Bros. Discovery assets that include CNN—a deal in which Paramount/Skydance is a leading bidder. Saturday’s two-hour broadcast (7–9 a.m. ET) is expected to serve as an emotional farewell, heavy on tributes and retrospective segments, after a seven-year run praised for its mix of hard news, culture, and features like “The Dish.”

Neither Miller nor Jacobson has announced future plans, and CBS declined comment on the show’s direction beyond tomorrow.
