Deborah Norville, the iconic face of Inside Edition, just shocked Hollywood by announcing her exit from the show after an incredible 30-year run. The veteran journalist, who became a household name steering the syndicated newsmagazine, revealed her decision in an emotional on-air statement, leaving viewers and coworkers reeling.
“This wasn’t easy,” Norville said, fighting back tears during Thursday’s broadcast. “But after three decades, it’s time for me to step back and focus on what’s next.” Her final episode will air later this summer, marking the end of an era for the longest-serving female anchor in American television history.
Norville took over Inside Edition in 1995, transforming it into a ratings powerhouse with her sharp reporting, signature poise, and knack for breaking celebrity scoops. From high-profile interviews to hard-hitting investigations, she turned the show into a must-watch for millions. “Deborah didn’t just report the news—she made it relatable,” said a longtime producer. “Her absence will leave a massive void.”
Fans flooded social media with tributes, calling her exit “the end of TV news as we know it.” But what’s next for the 65-year-old Emmy winner? Sources say Norville plans to spend more time with family, finish her upcoming book, and “explore new creative adventures.” Meanwhile, rumors swirl about her replacement, with insiders hinting at a “big-name surprise” to take the anchor chair.
As Hollywood bids farewell to a legend, one thing’s clear: Deborah Norville’s legacy is forever cemented. Tune in this summer for her final goodbye—you won’t want to miss it!
