‘CBS Saturday Morning’ hosts fêted after Bari Weiss fired them
Their time at CBS may have come to an end, but Michelle Miller, Dana Jacobson, and Brian Applegate are still getting plaudits from their peers.
The duo, who anchored “CBS Saturday Morning” with Applegate at the helm as executive producer, were fêted for their contributions to journalism at a National Urban League.
It was hosted by League CEO — and Miller’s husband — Marc H. Morial, last week in Harlem.
The celebration came after they bid farewell to CBS in November amid Bari Weiss’ takeover of the network. (Adriana Diaz and Kelly O’Grady replaced them as hosts in January).
A source who attended the reception told Page Six that the network’s “new leadership wasn’t discussed,” but acknowledged “their departures drew quiet concern within media circles.”
The broadcast journos’ former colleagues including current “CBS Weekend News” anchor, Jericka Duncan, “CBS Mornings” host, Vlad Duthiers, and the network’s senior culture and senior national correspondent, Anthony Mason, were there from the Tiffany Network for their final soiree.
Former MSNBC News president Rashida Jones and “The View” and “Oprah” vet Candi Carter also attended.
Miller assured the crowd, “my imperfect self belonged on that set, so I just want to thank each and every one of you because Dana always had my back.”
Miller and Jacobson left the receptions with a bouquet of yellow flowers while Applegate was gifted bourbon.
