Katie Couric: Goodbye CBS Evening News

She’s spent the past five years bringing Americans their news every evening, and last night (May 19) Katie Couric signed off from “CBS Evening News” for the last time.

The 54-year-old anchor explained that she’s had a great time with the gig and met many famous people along the way.

“It’s been an extraordinary privilege to sit in this chair,” she said prior to a video highlight reel of her various stories over the years.

She told press, "I'm really proud of the talented team on the CBS Evening News and the award-winning work we've been able to do. In making the decision to move on, I know Evening News will be in great hands, but I am excited about the future."
