‘CBS Saturday Morning’: Michelle Miller & Dana Jacobson Get Emotional in Last Show Amid Shake-Up
What To Know
- Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson delivered an emotional farewell during their final CBS Saturday Morning broadcast following their departure amid a network shake-up.
- Both hosts expressed gratitude to their colleagues, production team, and viewers.
- Miller emphasized the importance of storytelling and embracing change, concluding with a message about the value of the journey and the impact of their work at CBS.
CBS Saturday Morning hosts Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson got emotional during their final goodbyes during their last show, after the network axed them amid a major shake-up.
On November 22, Miller and Jacob signed off for good during their last time leading the Saturday edition of the CBS morning broadcast. Miller began the goodbye by sharing, “After seven long years of welcoming you to the weekend, our time here is coming to a close. CBS Saturday Morning will still be here with the latest news and all the stories you expect from CBS News. We wish our colleagues the best.”
Jacobson continued, “While it wasn’t our choice to leave, we did have one in how we get to say goodbye, including a chance to say thank you to the amazing producers, photographers, audio engineers, editors, makeup and hair stylists, assistants, and floor crew, and wardrobe. Everybody who is a part of each and every story we told. Without them, there is no us.”
That’s when Jacobson started to struggle to maintain her composure. “When I came to CBS, I’d already had an amazing run at ESPN. And to get another once-in-a-lifetime job, that just doesn’t happen. But it did,” she continued, her voice almost cracking.
Miller added, “When we were named co-hosts in what was then CBS This Morning: Saturday, it was a dream come true for both of us. The cherry on the top of that ice cream sundae.”
Jacobson pointed out, “What a gift that this show was. I got to travel the globe and be a storyteller again, do what I love most — interviews, talking and learning about people, and then bringing their stories and experiences to you. …But what has made this job even more of a gift is all of you. At the airport, the gym, Celtics game, or even while I was walking Barkley, so many of you stopped me to share your love of Saturday mornings.”
With her voice shaky, she concluded, “How much you appreciated the escape and the knowledge that we’ve provided. Thank you for making me feel like what I do is something that matters — what we do matters.”

“I came here 22 years ago. I came to New York City, no job, no prospects, just a gritty reporter with a network of colleagues who gave me a shot,” Miller recalled. “SatMo gave us the opportunity to amplify stories that matter from all vantage points and the time to tell them fully. To our viewers, thank you for giving us the inspiration and the confidence to dig deeper. Every story I ever told has reminded me that change is not an ending; it’s an evolution. And I might add, a chance to gain a broader sense of belonging.”
To conclude their final CBS Saturday Morning sign-off, Miller shared, “Bob Marley once said, ‘Beginnings are usually scary, endings are usually sad, but it is everything in between that makes it all worth living.’ That certainly goes for all the in-between that we’ve gotten here at CBS.”

Just another reason to NOT watch CBS. The show will not be the same, no need to even watch whatever or whoever they put on Saturday mornings

What do I think.. this is one show that gave us interesting subjects, people, restaurants and music.
This show gave us a well rounded story unlike most morning shows with a 1 minute story line and preempting 15 mins of what is coming up next mixing in multiple commercials . I gave up watching the today show or cbs week day show because of this reason alone. Mistake first taking Jeff off the program and now eliminating the sat morning show all together, “executives” are clueless making these decisions. Next they’ll remove the only quality show left of this sort cbs Sunday Morning.

Michelle and Dana will be greatly missed Saturday morning s on my tv. Enjoyed a slow wake up with a coffee and the banter and different news pieces they shared! It was current news with interest pieces that were a blend of history, food , travel and feel good stories. First Jeff now these two CBS really dropped the ball. I dont know what CBS plans next but it won't be the same. Nbc and ABC morning shows are such fluff , CNN and Fox way too political

Jeff Glor was the bright spot and he was let go long before these two were left to anchor. The show was never the same after he left.

As I watched Saturday Morning today, I am reminded of what a terrible decision Paramount has made! These 2 ladies were very very special & made this show what it is today! I am confused by this decision, but yet they make no changes to the weekly morning show, where the female member should have retired years ago? She is ruining that show!! Just bad business if you ask me!!

Should have gotten rid of Gayle (got sooooo sick of her, I quit watching Daily) and put these two on the Morning Show. Probably cost the same or less, with better coverage!

Dana and Michelle made this show worth watching. I am truly upset by this. These two great journalists gave me something to look forward to every weekend. The trio of Jeff, Dana, and Michelle was the best ever assembled by a network. Michelle had a smile and personality few journalists can harness. Bad mistake here CBS your ratings will fall into the Abyss. Bad move. Shame on you!

I stopped watching daily when they hired Gayle and changed the format and feeling like family. Stopped Saturday when Jeff Glor was let go. Stopped watching the Saturday morning news when they let Andrea Grimes go. Now it’s GMA every day.

I really enjoyed this show, and there was a nice chemistry between Michele and Dana. I really hope CBS doesn’t decide to make another cookie cutter news program like they did on CBS mornings. Your viewers are getting tired of all the focus on celebrities, sports and CBS deals. Please continue to provide thoughtful, intelligent journalism, feature people who are doing extraordinary things, and places worth knowing about.

I Hate the fact that Dana and Michelle will not be on the CBS Saturday Morning show. I almost stopped watching when Jeff Glor was let GO. Now I am stoping my recording of Saturday Morning CBS after Dana and Michelle are let go. I have Choices on Saturday morning and I will use them!!!! I have nothing against the new host. But I have Choices.

I don't watch CBS news any more...mornings, evenings or weekends.

After seeing an article today regarding Tony moving from am to pm evening news, it reminded me of how much i miss Saturday am's with Dana and Michele. I have ended watching, since the pretty unseasoned reporters CBS has managed to employ lack the experience, the continuous laughter and no substance to speak of. I've moved to evening news with Muir and am a tossup between NBC and ABC!!

The new anchors are like chatty teenagers compared to Miller & Jacobson. They were professional & connected with viewers. I’ll be watching a different network on Saturday mornings! If smart, another network will pick them up.
Big mistake.

CBS, shame on you! I am no longer watching any of your programming propaganda BS

I quit watching NBC when they brought Jenna onboard. Why... she already has a silver spoon in her mouth, give the job to someone hungry for the position, guarantee you won't get fake anything. That's when I made the switch to CBS, I was already watching my local CBS b/c it was my fav news network. Could care less if I ever watch NBC news again. SOOO here we are more revamping at CBS, congrats to Tony Dokopil, hope they keep you in this position until you retire. lol yeah that's gonna happen. Why can't people be left in their position? It started, or I noticed anyway, w/ Jeff Glor on Saturday mornings. I want to see the same people, I don't care if they've had the job 117 years, leave your watchers happy. Guess I'll now switch to ABC they're the only network that doesn't seem to want to pull the plug on their broadcasters. Leave em be to those that make decisions to pull positions. No we don't like change but you all sure do.

Very disappointed with this change in format and hosts. No longer interested in tuning in on Saturday morning.
