CBS Corp. said on Tuesday that CBS News anchor John Dickerson will join “CBS This Morning” as a co-host alongside Gayle King and Norah O’Donnell. Dickerson replaces former morning show co-host Charlie Rose, who was fired by the network back in November following allegations of sexual harassment. Dickerson, who has been the anchor of CBS’s “Face the Nation” since 2015, will begin his new role on Wednesday. “Every time I’ve been on the show, I haven’t wanted the conversation with Norah [O’Donnell] and Gayle [King] to end when my segment does. Now it doesn’t have to,” Dickerson said in a statement. Dickerson has been at CBS since 2009, and served as CBS’s political director for six years. Before going to CBS, Dickerson was the chief political correspondent at Slate Magazine, and he covered politics for 12 years at Time magazine before that. Shares of CBS have declined nearly 11% in the last 12 months, while the S&P 500 index is up more than 21% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up more than 27%.
