Eva Pilgrim has been tapped as the next anchor of syndicated newsmagazine Inside Edition, succeeding Deborah Norville.
The veteran broadcast journalist joins Inside Edition from ABC News, where she most recently served as co-anchor of GMA3: What You Need to Know and Senior National Correspondent.
“We feel like we won the jackpot to have Eva join our team as the next anchor of Inside Edition,” said executive producer Charles Lachman. “She has solid news chops from her years as a reporter and anchor in national and local news, plus a warm relatability that resonates with audiences. We look forward to having a journalist of her caliber take Inside Edition into its next chapter.”
Pilgrim will take over the anchor chair this fall, as the newsmagazine, which reaches nearly 10 million weekly viewers, enters its 38th season. She will be only the fourth anchor of the long-running series, succeeding Norville, who announced in April that she was leaving Inside Edition as she prepares to launch a new syndicated game show this fall.
“Anchoring Inside Edition is truly a dream job,” Pilgrim said. “I have been an avid viewer and fan of the show for many years. I’m pinching myself that I get to work with this amazing team. It’s truly an honor to join a show with such a long, rich history.”
