Viewers tuning in to “CBS Saturday Morning” Oct. 5, 2024, likely noticed Jeff Glor was missing from the anchor desk.

That’s because Glor was laid off by CBS in late September 2024.

Glor’s last show was Sept. 28, 2024, giving him a chance to bid farewell to viewers.

His job was cut as part of a larger restructuring by Paramount Global, the owner of CBS, which is preparing itself to be acquired by Skydance Media. The company is carrying a heavy debt load and had previously announced plans to cut positions.

There’s no word on what Glor might do next or if he’s remaining in the broadcast business.

Meanwhile, CBS has kept Glor’s former co-anchors Dana Jacobson and Michelle Miller on the show. It’s not immediately clear if she the Saturday show will proceed with only two anchors or if a third might be added later.

The weekday edition of the network’s morning show, known as “CBS Mornings,” has three anchors, Gayle King, Tony Dokupil and Nate Burleson.
