DuBois announced his exit after his fellow co-anchor, John Dickerson, announced on Oct. 27 he would be leaving at the end of the year. DuBois became co-anchor of CBS Evening News in January after working as an anchor on New York City’s WCBS. New CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss plans an overhaul of CBS Evening News. “Moving On: December 18th is the day of my last broadcast at CBS News,” DuBois wrote on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/DR2T2RhAPu_/). “It has been the Honor of a Lifetime. 21 years altogether, including my time at WCBS-TV in New York City. What a privilege! To be welcomed into your homes night after night, delivering the news / meeting extraordinary people and telling their stories. I’ll leave filled with gratitude, cherished relationships and amazing memories. A couple weeks to go; until then, see you on The CBS Evening News every night at 6:30.”

I wonder if Maurice DuBois will return as an anchor on WCBS Channel 2 in New York City?

Senior broadcast producer Javier Guzman was dropped (https://x.com/CBSEveningNews/status/2009243755736703176) from CBS Evening News after Wednesday’s broadcast. “It’s unclear why Guzman was let go, though one source attributed the exit to disagreements with executive producer Kim Harvey rather than the show’s launch,” reports The Wrap’s Corbin Bolies and Alyssa Ray. “Dokoupil is currently broadcasting his show from cities across the country on his nine-day ‘Live from America’ tour. He will anchor Thursday’s show from Minneapolis, a day after an ICE agent in the city killed a U.S. citizen during an immigration operation.” ALSO: MS NOW anchor Katy Tur is expressing support for husband Tony Dokoupil amid the negative headlines (https://www.thedailybeast.com/ms-now-anchor-katy-rallies-behind-maga-coded-husband-tony-dokoupil-after-disastrous-cbs-news-debut/).

Tony Dokoupil keeps making CBS Evening News about himself (https://variety.com/2026/tv/columns/tony-dokoupil-cbs-evening-news-minneapolis-1236627197/)

Dokoupil (https://www.reddit.com/r/Journalism/comments/1q6rd1m/tony_dokoupils_embarrassing_first_days_at_cbs/) has attempted to position himself (https://www.reddit.com/r/Journalism/comments/1q8q7f5/tony_dokoupil_is_making_cbs_evening_news_all/) as something more than anchor: He seems to be, in his mind, the main character of the news.
