Bari Weiss’s chaotic CBS News continues along its roller coaster.

She’s sending Norah O’Donnell back to “CBS Mornings,” after 7 years away. In 2019, O’Donnell left to anchor the CBS Evening News.

After a successful run, O’Donnell was ousted from the anchor desk in favor of the disastrous pairing of Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson. Since then, O’Donnell has done special reports and appeared on “60 Minutes.”

She’ll co-host the morning show with Gayle King and Nate Burleson. This should be interesting because King is the star, and Burleson is basically a sportscaster. King is said not to like O’Donnell, who will also report for the new “60 Minutes” as it goes through turmoil. This would be as if ABC had put Diane Sawyer and Barbara Walters on “Good Morning America” and let them go at it.

No word on what happens to the consistently agreeable and serious Vladimir Duthiers.

CBS is definitely where the good times are this fall!
