Maurice DuBois has been many things over the last two decades. A steady voice in New York households, a five-time Emmy-winning reporter, and one of the most recognizable faces to ever sit behind a CBS News desk. Now he’s something else, too — the latest major name to walk away from the network.
On Thursday, December 4, the 60-year-old anchor announced on Instagram that his final day at CBS will be in two weeks. “Moving On: December 18th is the day of my last broadcast at CBS News. It has been the honor of a lifetime,” he wrote, calling his combined 21 years at CBS and WCBS-TV “a privilege” and thanking viewers for welcoming him into their homes “night after night.” He wrapped the post by saying he’ll leave with “gratitude, cherished relationships and amazing memories.”
The reactions came in fast — and not just from longtime fans, but from journalists who’ve shared studios, hallways, and breaking-news chaos with him over the years. “Thank you for the work, the standard, and the example,” PBS NewsHour co-anchor Geoff Bennett wrote. “Wishing you every success ahead, Maurice.”

Miami anchor Jack Royer chimed in with his own message: “Congratulations Maurice - you were so kind to me when we met in the WCBS studio over the summer. Best of luck - you will shine wherever you go next.” CBS New York anchor Alice Gainer added, “An honor and a pleasure to work with you. Wishing you nothing but continued success. Can’t wait to see what’s next.”
Radio host Shelley Wade kept it simple: “We all love you, Maurice. Bravo.” And CBS meteorologist Andrew Kozak shared his own tribute, writing, “You’re a prime example of excellent journalism, personality and professionalism in this ever-changing business. I wish you nothing but the best in your new adventure ahead.”

DuBois’s exit lands just weeks after co-anchor John Dickerson revealed he’ll be leaving CBS at the end of the year, ending his 16-year run at the network. Dickerson shared his announcement in late October, writing that he would “leave CBS, sixteen years after I sat in as Face the Nation anchor for the first time,” and thanking colleagues who’d made him “a better journalist and a better human.”
View this post on InstagramAt the time, The Independent noted that his exit came amid “sweeping editorial changes” at CBS News under new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, while media newsletter Status described it as “the first major talent departure under Bari Weiss” and a sign of “more upheaval ahead.”
Now, with DuBois stepping down too, the flagship evening broadcast is poised to head into 2026 without either of its two anchors — at least unless CBS names new hosts in the coming weeks.
