CNN anchor announces shocking exit from air, effective immediately

Emmy-winning anchor Alisyn Camerota announced she was leaving CNN on Sunday, which would be her final broadcast. Her departure after ten years at the news station seemed to be a surprise. (Watch the video below.)

“Before we begin this very busy news day, I just want to take a moment to share some personal news,” Camerota said as she signed off from “CNN Newsroom.” “This is my last day on air at CNN. I have had such incredible opportunities here over the past decade-plus. I interviewed presidents, heroes, and extraordinary people—the kind of career highlights I had dreamed of since I was a teenager. CNN’s journalists are the best in the entire news industry. And it was an honor to have been her colleague. I am also honored to have experienced some of the greatest stories of our lives in your home over the last decade.”

Camerota, 58, thanked her colleagues and received praise from Wolf Blitzer, who called her a “good friend” and “outstanding journalist.”

Camerota shared the news of her departure with her followers on Instagram before broadcasting.

In addition to receiving Emmys for her coverage of the police killing of George Floyd and the arrest of Roger Stone, Camerota also won the Edward R. Murrow Award for her coverage of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

She’s also been known to write off supporters of now President-elect Donald Trump who “came out of nowhere” after hosting numerous voting panels on “New Day.”

“I think at this point the smartest thing the rest of us can do is to stop giving the twisted Trump supporters a platform and listening to them. “It’s time to turn off your microphones,” she wrote shortly after Uprising of January 6, 2021 in an essay.

Camerota previously worked for Fox News.

In September, she revealed that her husband, Tim Lewis, had died of pancreatic cancer months earlier.
