“Inside Edition” anchor Deborah Norville is departing the daytime newsmagazine strip after 30 years — even though she’s not leaving the syndication universe.
Norville, who will next host the syndicated trivia game show “The Perfect Line” in fall 2025, revealed her departure from “Inside Ediiton” on Wednesday’s show. In the statement, she said she passed on an offer to remain on the show — “but there are things I’d like to do and places I want to do them that continuing here doesn’t permit.” Norville reps the latest TV host and anchor to depart as the industry continues to downsize.
“It has been such an honor and privilege to be here at ‘Inside Edition’ for all these years,” she said on the telecast. “A milestone like this is a time for reflection, and on reflection, I have decided that now is the time to move on from ‘Inside Edition.’ They made me a lovely offer to stay, but there are things I’d like to do and places I want to do them that continuing here doesn’t permit. So, at the end of the season, I’ll be moving on. I’ve got some exciting things in the works, which I’ll talk about later, but what I want to say now is what a privilege it’s been to lead ‘Inside Edition’ for all these years. To work with the incredibly talented team here, and to be invited into your homes every day, it’s an honor I don’t take lightly.”
Norville, whose credits include “Today,” first joined “Inside Edition” in 1995 after a stint as an anchor and correspondent at CBS News.
“Deborah’s powerful presence, both on-screen and behind-the-scenes, has contributed immensely to the success of ‘Inside Edition’ for the past 30 years,” said exec producer Charles Lachman. “She has made a lasting impact on the show, and I’m excited to follow along as she builds upon her outstanding broadcast legacy in her next chapter.”
Inside Edition Inc. produces “Inside Edition,” which is distributed by CBS Media Ventures. CBS Media Ventures is also behind “The Perfect Line,” which has recently been given a firm go for fall 2025. The CBS Stations group already picked up “The Perfect Line” in December; now the show has been sold to stations repping 90% of the country.
Based on a soon-to-be released boardgame from CMYK, “The Perfect Line” features questions about from world events, pop culture, sports, science and other topics. Contestants are given a category and then arrange events, items or people order — such as arranging six actors in the order of their worldwide box office gross. Winners are able to create “the perfect line” via that correct order, and try not to be eliminated after every round. The last person standing plays a final round for a chance at $10,000.
