Alisyn Camerota will exit CNN. Her last show will be Sunday afternoon.
Camerota announced the news on social media just hours before her final show. In a brief message, the news anchor encouraged fans to tune in at 1:50 p.m. PT for her sign off.
Camerota anchored CNN’s morning show New Day from 2015 to 2021. Since then, she has hosted and co-hosted programs such as CNN Newsroom with Victor Blackwell and CNN Tonight with Jake Tapper and Laura Coates. More recently, she became a floating political commentator for the network, as well as a correspondent for The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper.
Prior to CNN, Camerota worked for 16 years in several roles at Fox News, including Fox & Friends and Fox & Friends Weekends. She is also the author of a novel, Amanda Wakes Up, and a memoir, Combat Love.
Camerota announced in September that her husband of 23 years, Tim Lewis, passed away from pancreatic cancer.
“The kids and I are still getting our bearings,” she wrote on social media at the time. “He was a phenomenal father, husband, friend and role model and the rest of us are left trying to follow in his footsteps. … Tim imbued us with a lot of strength and stability and we’re determined to try to emulate those qualities of his.”
