The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences will honor Deborah Norville with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 52nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards in October.
Norville is the longest-serving female anchor in American TV history, having spent three decades as anchor of Inside Edition.
“When I first walked into a newsroom as a college student, I couldn’t have imagined a journey that would span more than four decades, take me around the globe, and introduce me to so many remarkable people,” said Norville in a statement. “The Lifetime Achievement Honor is an extraordinary capstone, and I am grateful to NATAS, my colleagues, and the viewers who have welcomed me into their homes for so many years.”
“It’s an honor to celebrate Deborah Norville’s extraordinary career,” added Adam Sharp, President and CEO, NATAS in a statement. “Her legacy extends beyond her historic tenure; she’s brought intelligence, integrity, and compassion to her reporting, shaping how millions of viewers understand the world around them.”
Norville joined Inside Edition in 1995 after serving as an anchor and correspondent for CBS News. She also served as co-host of NBC’s Today. This fall, she returns to television as host of The Perfect Line, a new syndicated game show from CBS Media Ventures.
The 52nd Annual Daytime Emmy will be held as a single ceremony on Oct. 17, 2025, and is produced by NATAS.
