Jeff Glor will join Dana Jacobson and Michelle Miller as co-host of CBS THIS MORNING: SATURDAY and serve as a CBS News special correspondent reporting feature stories and investigative reports for the Network, it was announced today by Susan Zirinsky, President and Senior Executive Producer of CBS News. Glor starts the Saturday anchor assignment on June 22.

As special correspondent for the network, Glor will continue to highlight the unique American stories he has featured for more than 12 years at CBS News, including the award-winning pieces of the last 18 months. In the coming weeks, Glor will begin a new, ongoing series for all CBS News broadcasts and platforms under the banner “Who We Are,” which will feature inspiring stories across the country similar to his reporting on Gold Star families and people across America defying the odds. Glor will also work with the CBS News investigative unit on hard-hitting original reporting and investigations such as his recent examination of the National Flood Insurance Program, which sparked congressional action and won a Society of Professional Journalists Sigma Delta Chi award.

“Jeff brings a humanity to his reporting and will be a perfect fit on SATMO, as it is fondly called around the CBS Broadcast Center,” said Zirinsky. “Jeff and Brian Applegate, executive producer of CBS THIS MORING: SATURDAY, have an extraordinary history together and have known each other for more than two decades. I am thrilled they can build on their creative partnership with Dana, Michelle and the entire team.”

“I’m looking forward to working closely with Brian again,” said Glor. “The Saturday broadcast is a gem. Brian and his team have established a destination program for news, culture and music. I can’t wait to work with Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson. I’m also honored to follow in Anthony Mason’s footsteps, who is a writer, host, and colleague I’ve learned from for a long time.”

“I’m thrilled to have Jeff join this broadcast,” said Applegate. “We have a loyal audience on Saturday, and I know Jeff’s voice will be a wonderful addition to what our viewers have come to expect. It’s going to be fantastic.”

Glor is an award-winning, veteran CBS News journalist with more than two decades of experience. He joined the Network in 2007 as a correspondent and traveled for more than a decade, reporting from the shootings in Newtown, Conn., the Boston Marathon bombings, and the landfall of Superstorm Sandy, among many others. Most recently, he served as anchor of the CBS EVENING NEWS, sitting down with world leaders such as French President Emmanuel Macron and President Donald Trump and conducting on-the-ground interviews with everyday Americans to share their stories.

Earlier in his career at CBS News, Glor was a correspondent for CBS THIS MORNING and “60 Minutes Sports,” where he filed reports from Alaska, Africa, Greenland, Ireland and Newfoundland.

In addition to his reporting assignments, Glor was a lead anchor on CBSN, CBS News’ 24/7 streaming news service, during its critical launch period. Glor also served as anchor of the weekend editions of the CBS EVENING NEWS on Saturday from 2009-2010 and Sunday from 2012-2016. He anchored “The Early Show” in 2011.

Before joining CBS News, Glor was the weekend evening news anchor and a weekday reporter for WHDH-TV Boston (2003-2007). Prior to that, Glor was the co-anchor of WSTM-TV Syracuse’s 5:00 PM newscast and a reporter for the 11:00 PM newscast (2000-2003), as well as the morning news anchor (1997-2000). Glor and Applegate worked together in Syracuse and again in Boston. They reunited at CBS News, where they have been colleagues for the last 12 years.

Born in Tonawanda, N.Y., Glor graduated magna cum laude from Syracuse University in 1997 with dual degrees in economics and broadcast journalism. He and his wife, Nicole, along with their two children, Jack and Victoria, live in Connecticut.
