Meanwhile, over on “CBS: This Morning,” “Face the Nation” moderator John Dickerson (pictured above) debuted as the permanent replacement for Charlie Rose.
He moves from Sunday mornings in Washington to weekday mornings in New York, joining Gayle King and Norah O’Donnell as the anchor table.
“On the campaign trail, I’ve collected compliments about CBS This Morning’s commitment to the news for years now,” Dickerson said. “Every time I’ve been on the show, I haven’t wanted the conversation with Norah and Gayle to end when my segment does. Now it doesn’t have to.”
This morning we welcomed @JDickerson to the table! Did you know we’ve had a photo of his mom, Nancy Dickerson, in Studio 57? She was the *first* female network correspondent at CBS. “As happy as she’d be that I’m here, she’d be happier that you two are here.” pic.twitter.com/YjC6RAyVn7
