Eva Pilgrim Named Inside Edition Anchor

Eva Pilgrim, a longtime ABC News personality and co-anchor of GMA3, is leaving ABC to become the new lead anchor of the CBS-produced syndicated newsmagazine Inside Edition, replacing Deborah Norville after her 30-year tenure. Pilgrim, who joined ABC News in 2016 and has covered major national stories as both a correspondent and anchor, will be only the fourth anchor in Inside Edition's 38-year history. Executive producer Charles Lachman praised Pilgrim's journalistic credentials and relatability, expressing confidence in her leadership for the show's next era. Pilgrim called the role a 'dream job' and voiced excitement about joining the Inside Edition team. Her departure adds to recent anchor exits at GMA3, raising further questions about the program's future. Pilgrim will begin her new role at Inside Edition this fall as the show starts its upcoming season.
