LONGEST RUNNING ANCHOR IN AMERICAN HISTORY
Deborah Norville has been a fixture on the American media landscape for decades. In May 2025, the two-time Emmy© winner ended her unprecedented run as anchor of Inside Edition, the country’s top-rated and most honored syndicated newsmagazine. Her thirty-plus years in that role cemented her spot in television history as the longest running anchor on American television, eclipsing the tenure of such icons as Johnny Carson (The Tonight Show), Oprah Winfrey (Oprah), and Barbara Walters (20/20).
HIGHEST RATED SYNDICATED TALK SHOW
HIGHEST RATED SYNDICATED TALK SHOWRatings jumped 15% the week Norville joined the program and remained high ever since. With Norville as anchor, Inside Edition was consistently one of the top five programs in first-run syndication. At the time of her departure, the show outperformed both morning and primetime programs including Entertainment Tonight, The Today Show, Good Morning America, 20/20, Dateline and all of broadcast television’s syndicated talk shows. During Deborah’s tenure, Inside Edition was also the top domestic news and information channel on YouTube with over 25 billion lifetime views and 13.6 million subscribers.
THE PERFECT LINE
In Fall of 2025, Norville will begin a new chapter in her career as host of “The Perfect Line,” a television game show produced by CBS Media Ventures and The Game Show Network. It’s a fun new take on trivia where contestants win money when they put things in the proper order — the ‘perfect’ line!
