Deborah Norville leaving ‘Inside Edition' after 30 years
Viewers of 'Inside Edition' were shocked to hear the news on air that Deborah Norville is leaving the daily show after 30 years.
'It has been an honor and a privilege to be here at 'Inside' for all these years,' she said during Wednesday's broadcast. 'A milestone like this is a time for reflection and on reflection I've decided that now is the time for me to move on from 'Inside Edition.''
Norville began hosting the CBS news program in 1995, making her the longest-serving female anchor on American TV.
Following her announcement, she later took to Instagram to share more about her unexpected departure, noting that she turned down an offer to continue the gig.
'After 30 years anchoring 'Inside Edition,' it's time to do something new,' said the 66-year-old mother of three. 'Twice before I made career moves for personal reasons (Chicago to NBC News in NY, CBS News to Inside Edition) and they were the right decisions. This decision is also motivated by family, and I know it it's a good one. There's lots more to come from me, just from a new place.'
Norville teased she has 'exciting things in the works,' the details of which she promised to talk about at a later date.
Last October, Norville was announced as the host of 'The Perfect Line,' a syndicated game show set to premiere this fall.
Based on a soon-to-be released board game, 'The Perfect Line' tasks contestants with placing people, events or items in the correct order — 'such as arranging six actors in the order of their worldwide box office gross,' according to Variety. After multiple rounds of eliminations, the last player standing has a final chance to win $10,000.

George Clooney in Good Night, and Good Luck on CNN: The Live Broadcast's Most Notable Moments — Plus, Grade It!
Couldn't get a ticket to see George Clooney make his Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck? Take heart: On Saturday, CNN broadcast the play's penultimate performance — live — as a commercial-free TV event. Based on the 2005 film of the same name, Good Night, and Good Luck stars ER alum Clooney as legendary CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow. The true story takes place in the 1950s, as Murrow came under fire for criticizing Sen. Joseph McCarthy, who levied unsubstantiated charges of communism at various Americans during the Cold War. More from TVLine Good Night, and Good Luck: Live Broadcast of Broadway Play Delivers CNN's 2nd-Biggest Night of 2025 Yes, George Clooney Has Seen The Pitt - Here's What the ER Vet Had to Say About Noah Wyle's New Medical Show Save the Dates: Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck Live on CNN, and More The 100-minute production ran without intermission, as it has since it opened at New York's Winter Garden Theatre on April 3. Clooney directed the film, in which he played Murrow's producer, Fred Friendly. In the Broadway show, Friendly is played by Glenn Fleshler (True Detective). Clooney and Grant Heslov wrote both the movie and the play. The play's cast also includes Clark Gregg (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Ilana Glazer (Broad City), Carter Hudson, Paul Gross, Christopher Denham, Fran Kraz, Mac Brandt, Will Dagger and Georgia Heers. The production is nominated for five Tony Awards, including Clooney for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play. (A quick note: Though the CNN-provided press photos below are black-and-white, the broadcast was in color.) Readers of a certain age will remember that George Clooney took part in the live Season 4 premiere of ER in 1997. So how did his latest live bid go? Scroll through our list of notable moments below. McCarthy couldn't have succeeded in his campaign of fear-mongering had the political and social climate of the time not allowed him to, Murrow pointed out in a broadcast that uses the politician's own words to indict him. 'The actions of the junior Senator from Wisconsin have caused alarm and dismay amongst our allies abroad, and given considerable comfort to our enemies,' he said. 'And whose fault is that? Not really his. He didn't create this situation of fear; he merely exploited it — and rather successfully. Cassius was right. 'The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.'' Though Gregg's Don Hollenback is the show's tragic figure — Hollenback, a CBS newscaster who was accused of leftist leanings, died by suicide — Clooney and Gregg shared a scene at roughly the hour-mark in which Clooney seemed to be on the verge of laughing (when the script didn't call for it). But both men pulled it together, and the show continued apace. The show's scenic design, which earned Scott Pask a 2025 Tony nomination, allowed Clooney & Co. to move throughout CBS' newsroom with ease and purpose. The control room, the conference room, the broadcasting booth — all evoked a bustling newsgathering operation of the era, with video screens deployed to show the audience what viewers at home would've seen at the time. The serious nature of the story doesn't allow for a lot of comedy. That said, if there was a line that got a big laugh from the live audience, it was delivered by Fleshler as Friendly. Clooney delivered the play's final monologue, pulled from a speech Murrow gave to an association of radio and television journalists in 1958, at a lectern in front of a giant screen — even bigger than the one shown here. Huge moments in news and pop culture appeared in a montage as he spoke about how television news — and TV in general — wouldn't cater to the lowest common denominator if the audience didn't repeatedly show up for exactly that sort of content. 'Our history will be what we make of it,' Clooney-as-Murrow warned, rebuking those who'd choose programming that entertains without informing. The montage unfolded, featuring I Love Lucy, Elvis Presley, John F. Kennedy's assassination, Laugh In, the Challenger explosion, The Jerry Springer Show, the first plane flying into the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, Megyn Kelly insisting that Santa is white, conspiracy theories about the attempted Jan. 6 coup, Beyoncé, and a ton more images before culminating in Elon Musk giving an alleged Nazi salute. 'The question is not what power unchecked can do. We've seen that answered,' he said. 'The question is, what are you prepared to do?… Good night, and good luck.'

Boston Blue: Everything We Know So Far About the Blue Bloods Offshoot
At least one Reagan family member's story will continue to be told when Boston Blue debuts on CBS. Ordered to series on Feb. 18 — two months after Blue Bloods ended its well-watched, 14-season run — Boston Blue finds franchise vet Donnie Wahlberg reprising his role as veteran police detective Danny Reagan. This time, however, Danny will be policing the streets of Boston, alongside a new partner. More from TVLine Is CGI-Heavy Big Bang Theory Spinoff Poised to Be a Superhero Satire? Save the Dates: Brett Goldstein's Apple Movie, Hallmark's Christmas at Sea and More Casting News: black-ish Star Joins Boston Blue, Carrie TV Series Adds 14 and More Who is this new partner, when will Boston Blue air, and who else will be seen on the series? Here, as they say, is everything we know so far…. Technically, no. Boston Blue since Day 1 has been described as a 'universe expansion of the long-running top drama Blue Bloods,' in part because its premise was born of an entirely unrelated project. As Deadline reported, the only Donnie Wahlberg-led Blue Bloods offshoot that had been pitched (but got passed on) would have transplanted Danny Reagan to Texas. Boston Blue showrunners Brandon Sonnier and Brandon Margolis, meanwhile, had independently developed a series that would follow a family of cops in Boston whose eldest daughter is partnered with a new transfer from LAPD. NYPD vet Danny is now that transfer. In Boston Blue, Donnie Wahlberg's Danny Reagan takes a position with the Boston PD. Once in Boston, he is paired with detective Lena Silvers, the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family. Thus far, Donnie Wahlberg is the only Blue Bloods vet confirmed to appear on the spinoff universe expansion — though there surely will be mentions of the Reagan fam and friends back in New York, if not some flesh-and-blood cameos… eventually. 'Danny's story will continue the Reagan family's. You can't have Danny without Reagans,' Wahlberg said at a May press event. 'No Blue Bloods fans will be disappointed,' Wahlberg avowed, reiterating: 'We are really working on this universe in a way that I think the Blue Bloods viewers are going to be very happy.' First and foremost, Sonequa Martin-Green (Star Trek: Discovery, The Walking Dead) will star alongside Donnie Wahlberg as Detective Lena Silver, the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family. Additionally, Ernie Hudson (NBC's Quantum Leap reboot) has been cast as Lena's grandfather, Reverend Peters, a renowned pastor of a historic Baptist church in Boston; Psych vet Maggie Lawson will play Boston PD Superintendent Sarah Silver, Lena's 'strong-willed' and 'decisive' stepsister; Gloria Reuben (ER) will play Mae Silver, family matriarch and Boston's District Attorney; and Marcus Scribner (black-ish) will play Jonah, Lena and Sarah's rookie cop brother. Fact is, precious few scripted TV series have ever made camp in Boston, with Robert Urich's mid-1980s crime drama, Spenser: For Hire, being one of the exceptions. ABC' A Million Little Things (see photo above) was famously set in Boston (however devoid as it was of any accents) but filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia. Even Blue Bloods patriarch Tom Selleck's Massachusetts-based Jesse Stone TV movies were filmed in Nova Scotia. Boston Blue will do some filming in Boston, but production will be based out of Toronto, Ontario (that's in Canada). Filming begins July 10. When CBS unveiled its fall schedule, there Boston Blue was, confirmed for a fall debut and calling Blue Bloods' old Fridays-at-10/9c time slot home. There, Boston Blue will lead out of Sheriff Country and that freshman spinoff's sire, Fire Country. CBS typically sets fall premieres dates by mid-July, and TVLine will of course keep you posted on when, exactly, Boston Blue will debut. Like its ancestor Blue Bloods, Boston Blue will air on CBS, Friday nights at 10/9c, with episodes available for streaming the next day on Paramount+. Want scoop on , or for any other TV show?

Boston Blue: Gloria Reuben Joins Blue Bloods Offshoot as Family Matriarch
CBS' upcoming Blue Bloods offshoot is nearly done filling out its cast of series regulars. Airing Fridays at 10/9c starting this fall, Boston Blue finds franchise vet Donnie Wahlberg's Detective Danny Reagan leaving New York City and his family to take a position with the Boston Police Department. There, he will be partnered with Detective Lena Silver (Star Trek Discovery's Sonequa Martin-Green), the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family. More from TVLine Reacher Season 4: Sydelle Noel, Jay Baruchel and 6 Others Cast in Gone Tomorrow Adaptation Casting News: LEGO Masters' New Host, Miss Austen Returns and More Casting News: Outlander Star Joins The Forsytes, Rings of Power Adds Trio and More ER alum Gloria Reuben — whose far more recent TV credits include The Better Sister, Elsbeth and The Equalizer — has been cast as Mae Silver, Boston's District Attorney and the matriarch of the aforementioned, blended family of law enforcement professionals. The widow of a judge who was murdered on the courthouse steps, Mae endeavors to put family ahead of work whenever possible, Deadline reports. As previously reported, Ernie Hudson (NBC's Quantum Leap reboot) will play Lena's grandfather, Reverend Peters, a renowned pastor of a historic Baptist church in Boston, while Psych vet Maggie Lawson will play Boston PD Superintendent Sarah Silver, Lena's 'strong-willed' and 'decisive' stepsister. Still to be cast on Boston Blue is Jonah, a rookie cop who is Lena's brother/Mae's son. Of note, Reuben played mom to Martin-Green in the 2024 indie My Dead Friend Zoe, and on Blue Bloods she appeared in a pair of Season 11 episodes as Rachel Weber, the ATF Special Agent in Charge overseeing an undercover op involving Joe Hill.
